The LG NANO75 is more budget-friendly and still offers decent performance for sports content and has a wide viewing angle, making it suitable for watching with a group. However, it falls behind in dark room performance and motion processing. Give Feedback

The Sony X85K (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 struggles with movies and cinematic content primarily due to its low contrast and poor black uniformity, making dark scenes look washed out, and it lacks local dimming to improve the picture in darker scenes. In comparison, the Sony X85K delivers better performance for such content with its higher contrast, better black uniformity, and although it also lacks local dimming, it maintains better color volume and gray uniformity that contribute to a more satisfying viewing experience.

The Sony X85K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X85K provides a better experience for watching news and TV programs than the LG NANO75 due to its higher upscaling quality which is crucial for watching lower-resolution content and its superior SDR brightness, making it more suitable for viewing in brighter rooms. Additionally, the X85K's colors out of the box are rated as excellent which means less calibration is needed for optimal viewing, compared to the NANO75's good rating which implies the colors may not be as accurate initially.

The Sony X85K (LCD) is good for bright room, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 struggles in a bright room due to its poor SDR and HDR brightness, which means it doesn't get very bright, while its good reflection handling isn't enough to compensate. In contrast, the Sony X85K is suitable for bright rooms as it has very good SDR brightness and good HDR brightness, allowing it to overcome ambient light, and it also effectively handles reflections.
