LG Nanocell vs Samsung QLED

[Wilko_Dog]

Hey all, not bought a tv for ages so looking to upgrade to a 4K one, don’t really want to get oled as the mrs is definitely going to leave it paused quite a lot haha!

so I’m looking at these 2 after looking at some reviews they both review really well, not sure on the model numbers but they’re both 65” and around the £1300 mark.

has anyone had any experience with the nanocell tech from LG ? Looking at reviews it looks promising, and it has 2.1 hdmi which is going to be good for the ps5 when it releases.

LG LCDs are awful. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

What's your use case & room conditions?

will just be going in my quite small front room when I move in, will be used quite a lot as the other half works from home, I’ll use it mainly for sports, gaming on ps5 and Netflix.

I’ve read good reviews of the new LG’s, was even looking at the 8k nanocell for future proofing. Might have to have a re-think now though

Is that a bright environment in terms of light coming? Well, doesn't so much matter as you said £1300. That really simplifies things a lot because at that price you can get the Sony XH90 for exactly £1300, and that will be better than any LG LCD (of course), and better than any Samsung in that price range (which would be the Q70T - a nice TV but has no FALD, so HDR would be crap, and the game mode for those is not good in terms of picture quality).

Luckily the Sony is king for sports too, and HDMI 2.1 will ensure great gaming features while their game mode is also not one to gimp the picture for lowest latency.

If you want a step up in terms of picture quality, the XH95 would be £1700 and it would be quite a bit brighter, it would have more processing options for PQ, and a whole host of other small improvements over the XH90 but it would not have HDMI 2.1, which means no 4K 120hz and no VRR.

edit: here is what I mean about game mode gimping (amongst other things)

i like the look of that but it’s slightly bigger and where the brackets are I don’t think it’ll fit on my tv cabinet
