  1. Are you sure it does not have an ATSC 3.0 turner? The LG USA website and nextgen tv website both claim the 85 series qned tvhas the atsc 3.0 tuner.

  2. Thanks for review. Looked good until I saw it had no wifi 6. My router is latest Eero and planned tv would be upgrade to 4K and future proof. So will keep looking.
