If you're looking for a TV with better performance in a bright room, the Sony X77L has a slight edge. However, if you enjoy watching sports, the LG NANO75 offers a better experience. For gaming, the Sony X77L again takes the lead, providing a more responsive feel due to its lower input lag and faster response time. For dark room viewing, neither TV is particularly strong, but the Sony's slightly better contrast may make it a marginally better choice. Both TVs have similar sound quality. The Sony X77L is often somewhat less expensive, offering a better value proposition if you're looking to save a bit without compromising too much on quality. Give Feedback

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and Sony X77L (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The LG NANO75 and the Sony X77L both have issues that make them less ideal for watching movies and cinematic TV: the LG NANO75 struggles with lower contrast and poor black uniformity, which can lead to washed-out dark scenes, while the Sony X77L also has low contrast and has slightly better black uniformity, yet it still falls short in delivering deep blacks that are essential for a good movie-watching experience. Additionally, both TVs lack local dimming which is crucial for improving contrast in different scenes and their IPS screens inherently offer wider viewing angles at the expense of contrast, which is very important for cinematic content.

The Sony X77L (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG NANO75 offers fair motion processing and response time for sports viewing, which means that while there may be some motion blur during fast scenes, it's generally well-handled. On the other hand, the Sony X77L also provides fair response time and slightly better motion processing, reducing motion blur, but similar to the LG, reflections may still be noticeable and viewing angles are just adequate, not exceptional. Both TVs have decent gray uniformity which is important for displaying an even field during sports but isn't the top tier.

The Sony X77L (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG NANO75 is considered poor for gaming due to its fair response time, though it has excellent input lag, which is beneficial for gaming. Both TVs have their strengths in input lag, but the slow response times can detract from the gaming experience by causing motion blur or ghosting effects in fast-paced scenes.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X77L (LCD) to be only fair for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 displays colors out of the box well but has a limited color gamut making it less ideal for vibrant cartoon and animation colors, while the Sony X77L provides excellent colors out of the box with a similarly poor color gamut, yet still manages a fair overall showing for those types of content.

The LG NANO75 and the Sony X77L both provide a fair experience for watching news and TV programs, with the LG offering slightly better upscaling for low-resolution content and better colors straight out of the box, whereas the Sony has better SDR brightness for handling most lighting conditions but doesn't perform as well in color gamut, impacting the range of colors displayed.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X77L (LCD) to be only fair for bright room, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 has a lower SDR and HDR brightness, making it less suitable for use in bright rooms compared to the Sony X77L, which has a higher rating for these qualities. Although both TVs handle reflections only fairly well, the higher brightness of the Sony X77L can help mitigate the impact of glare, providing a better viewing experience in well-lit environments.
