Amazon Renewed 50QNED80URA Tv Review
Our verdict
This is a renewed LG 50QNED80URA, a 50-inch Mini LED 4K TV running webOS, available through Amazon Renewed at $397.80. Mini LED backlighting is a meaningful step up from standard LED, and LG's webOS is one of the better smart TV platforms around, but the two-review sample makes any quality assessment very difficult.

2 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Mini LED backlighting uses a much denser array of individually controlled LED zones compared to standard LED, which translates to better contrast, deeper blacks, and improved highlight performance. For a 50-inch TV, this can make a visible difference watching HDR movies or dark-scene content.
The LG webOS platform is well-regarded for its clean layout and broad app support, covering Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and most other major services. The physical footprint is 48 by 6 by 30 inches, and the panel weighs 34 pounds. Connectivity includes RCA inputs, which is useful for older gear.
At $397.80 for a renewed unit, it sits above some new-in-box competitors at the same size. The value case rests entirely on the Mini LED advantage and the LG platform. With only 2 reviews, both 5 stars, there is essentially no meaningful sample to work from.
Pros
- Mini LED backlighting provides better contrast than standard LED
- LG webOS is a polished, easy-to-use smart TV platform
- 50-inch 4K panel covers most living room viewing distances
- RCA connectivity listed for legacy device hookups
Cons
- Only 2 reviews, not a usable reliability sample
- Renewed unit carries inherent uncertainty about prior condition
- No refresh rate specified in the listing
- Price is higher than some new standard LED options at 50 inches

What buyers say
Two reviews both at 5 stars is a technically perfect score but statistically meaningless. There is not enough buyer feedback here to draw any conclusions about long-term reliability or consistency across units. Check review counts before purchasing.

Frequently asked questions
How is Mini LED different from regular LED on this LG TV?
Mini LED uses a significantly larger number of smaller LED backlighting zones compared to a standard LED panel. This allows more precise control over which parts of the screen are lit and which are dimmed, resulting in better contrast ratios and more accurate dark scene reproduction.
Is webOS a good smart TV platform?
LG webOS is consistently rated among the top smart TV operating systems. It has a clean home screen layout, fast navigation, and supports all major streaming services. The ThinQ AI remote simplifies voice search and content discovery. It is a strong reason to choose an LG set over similarly priced alternatives.
Does buying renewed from Amazon protect me if the TV fails quickly?
Amazon Renewed comes with a 90-day guarantee, which covers replacements or refunds if the product does not work as described. After that window, you would need to rely on any remaining manufacturer warranty or a credit card purchase protection plan. Read the specific renewed listing terms before buying.
