LG's 55-inch QNED73B mini-LED TV (model 55QNED73BUA) is down to $379.99 on Amazon, $120 below its $499.99 list price. The catch is that this is an Amazon-channel model LG does not market on its own site, so several specs that matter on a mini-LED set are not published.
According to the listing, it is a 2026 model with a 4K mini-LED panel, a 60Hz refresh rate, three HDMI ports and LG's webOS. That makes it a cheap way into an LG mini-LED TV, with a short spec sheet.
An LG TV that LG does not list on lg.com
LG's support site does carry the 55QNED73BUA.AUSZ, with manuals and warranty details. What is missing is a standard product page, since the lg.com retail URL for this model returns an error.
LG's 2026 QNED evo Mini LED press release names the QNED90, QNED85, QNED82, QNED8M, QNED80 and QNED70 series. The QNED73B is not mentioned anywhere in it.
That leaves the Amazon listing as the main spec source, which is why the details below are attributed to it. LG's support page does confirm a one-year warranty on both parts and labor.
LG 55QNED73BUA specifications from the Amazon listing
According to the listing, the TV runs on the A7 AI Processor 4K Gen9 and supports HDR10 Pro, FILMMAKER MODE with Ambient Light Technology, AMD FreeSync Premium and ALLM. It also claims "certified 100% Color Volume" under its Dynamic QNED Color feature.

The specs that are missing on this mini-LED TV
The biggest gap is local dimming. The listing gives no dimming zone count, and there is no LG spec page for this model to fill it in.
That number is much of what separates a mini-LED TV from a regular LED set in dark scenes. Without it, there is no way to judge how much contrast control the backlight really has.
The HDMI version is not published either. On a 60Hz panel that matters less, because 4K at 120Hz is off the table regardless of the ports.
For HDR, the listing names only HDR10 Pro, LG's dynamic take on HDR10. It does not mention Dolby Vision or HDR10+, and LG has not published a statement either way.
Software support is the other open question. LG's webOS Re:New upgrade program was announced for its 2022 OLED TVs and 2022 QNED Mini LED 8K models, and LG has not said whether it covers this set.
The exact webOS version is also not stated for this model. Anyone weighing LG's platform may want to read about LG's privacy backlash over smart TV tracking before setting it up.
How the QNED73B compares with other 55-inch TVs on Amazon
At $379.99, the LG is the cheapest TV in this group by a wide margin. The closest mini-LED alternatives cost roughly $140 to $270 more, and each lists a 144Hz panel.
| TV | Panel | Refresh rate (listed) | HDR formats (listed) | Price at the time of writing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LG 55QNED73BUA | Mini LED | 60Hz | HDR10 Pro | $379.99 |
| Samsung 55-inch M80H | Mini LED | 144Hz | Not listed | $520.59 |
| Toshiba 55Z670R | Mini LED, full-array local dimming | 144Hz native | HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ | $547.99 |
| Hisense 55U6SF Pro | Mini LED | 144Hz native | HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ | $649.99 |
| Sony Bravia 6 (K-55A60) | OLED | 4K/120 via HDMI 2.1 | Dolby Vision | $1,398.00 |
| Samsung 55-inch S90H | OLED | 165Hz | Not listed | $1,497.99 |
Samsung's 55-inch M80H costs $520.59, down 25% from $697.99, and its listing adds a 144Hz mode with Variable Refresh Rate. Toshiba's 55Z670R sits at $547.99 and lists full-array local dimming, a native 144Hz panel and Dolby Atmos.
The Hisense 55U6SF Pro lists a similar feature set at $649.99. That is above the $599.98 list price shown on the same page, so it is not a discount at the time of writing.
For OLED, Sony's Bravia 6 is $1,398.00 and lists four HDMI ports with 2.1 features, including 4K/120 and VRR. Samsung's S90H is $1,497.99 and lists a 165Hz panel with FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC support.
Both cost more than three times as much as the LG. Digital Citizen recently covered an LG C5 OLED TV drop to $1,099 for readers who want LG's own OLED.
Who the $379.99 QNED73B makes sense for
The LG suits a bedroom or secondary living room where streaming and 60fps console play are the main jobs. FreeSync Premium and ALLM help there, but buyers planning on 120fps gaming should look at the 144Hz sets above.
Its listing does not name any audio hardware beyond "improved sound" from the processor. A dedicated speaker is worth budgeting for, and recent soundbar deals on Bose, JBL, Samsung and LG models show the range.
LG has not published the dimming zone count, HDMI version or webOS update commitment for this model, and no end date for the discount is published. Prices were checked on September 18, 2026 and can change at any time.
