Frequently asked questions
Is this TV really 49 inches or 55 inches?
The model number says 49 but the screen measures 55 inches diagonally. This is a known naming inconsistency in LG's lineup for this generation. When wall mounting or buying a stand, plan for a 55-inch footprint using the listed dimensions of 43.1 by 27.4 inches.
Does the LG 49NANO85UNA support Bluetooth audio devices?
Yes, the TV includes Bluetooth connectivity. This allows you to pair wireless headphones or compatible Bluetooth soundbars directly without an external adapter. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are also built in for flexible network connections.
How does the 120 Hz refresh rate help in everyday use?
A 120 Hz panel redraws the image twice as often as a standard 60 Hz TV, which reduces motion blur on fast-moving content like sports, action movies, and video games. For regular TV shows or streaming, the difference is less pronounced but the set can still process motion more cleanly.
