LG Nano 86 49" - The best desktop PC and Console gaming screen currently available?

So I've been watching the TV and monitor scene this year with the intention of buying a single screen to be used for PC and PS5 gaming for my sons bedroom.

I keep coming back to the LG Nano 86 49" TV.
It seems to be the only option currently available which has everything. It's a good size for a desktop display, has 2x HDMI 2.1 ports, FreeSync/G-Sync, 4k VRR up to 120Hz and is sensibly priced.

Have I missed any other displays, or is this the best option at the moment?

I agree 49 is probably too large but it’s currently the smallest size with decent specs.

My son couldn’t get any closer to our 65 and 55 when he’s playing . He’s either standing or sitting right in front of the screen.

how do you guys think this compares with the 48 oled?

The Nano uses LCD technology so the standard + and - can be applied for picture quality. Other than that they are basically the same TV.

In terms of price, the Nano is less than half the cost of the OLED
49” Nano : £700
48” OLED : £1,500

Did you get this please? Any further thoughts? Ticks a lot of boxes and doesn't have the burn in worries of the CX. 2x HDMI 2.1, eARC, Dolby Vision and 4K 120 10bit - it does it all!

Yep I got it and it works great with a gaming PC and PS5, running at 4K 120Hz, 10bit, where supported by the input hardware
