Considering the LG NANO75 and the TCL S435, here are some key differences to guide your decision: If you prioritize a wider viewing angle and better color accuracy, go for the LG NANO75. However, this model costs more and may not deliver as strong a contrast in dark rooms due to its IPS screen, which can affect the viewing experience in darker scenes. The TCL S435, on the other hand, is more budget-friendly and offers better dark room performance with deeper blacks due to its VA panel. This could enhance your movie-watching experience, especially in a dimly lit room. However, it has a narrower viewing angle and might not look as good if you're sitting off to the side. Both are similar in terms of sports content, but the LG NANO75 edges ahead with a slightly better score for watching games. Neither TV supports advanced HDR formats like HDR10+ or Dolby Vision, which can limit future-proofing if you seek the highest quality HDR content. For gaming, both TVs are decent, but the LG performs slightly better. Audio quality is modest on both, so you might consider an external sound system if audio is a concern. Ultimately, consider the environment where the TV will be used, the types of content you watch most, and your budget to make an informed decision. Give Feedback

The TCL S435 (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 struggles with movies and cinematic TV mainly due to its poor contrast and black uniformity, which lead to less impactful dark scenes, and it lacks local dimming to improve these areas. On the other hand, the TCL S435 offers better performance for these contents with its higher contrast and better black uniformity, though it still lacks local dimming and has a narrower viewing angle which could affect group watching experiences.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the TCL S435 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 is better suited for watching sports due to its decent motion processing and good handling of reflections, which helps maintain a clear picture during fast action and in rooms with lighting variability. In contrast, the TCL S435 falls short with poor motion processing and reflections handling, plus a more restricted viewing angle, making it less ideal for sports where these aspects are crucial for an enjoyable viewing experience.

The TCL S435 (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL S435 is considered good for watching cartoons and animation because it delivers colors out of the box more effectively than the LG NANO75, which means the S435 presents more vivid and accurate colors without the need for additional calibration. Additionally, the TCL S435 has a better color gamut, providing a wider range of colors which is important for the vibrant visuals typically found in animated content.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and TCL S435 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG NANO75 has a fair response time and the best input lag which suggests some delay in displaying moving objects cleanly but minimal delay in reacting to user inputs during gaming. The TCL S435, on the other hand, also exhibits fair response time, but its input lag is poor, meaning it will have difficulty displaying fast scenes clearly in games and there will be notable delay between user actions and their reflections on-screen.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG NANO75 (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S435 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 is better suited for watching news and TV programs due to its superior upscaling of lower resolution content and good color accuracy out of the box; however, its contrast is not as strong as some other TVs. In contrast, the TCL S435 offers excellent color accuracy, but its upscaling performance is not on par with the LG NANO75, which might result in less clear images when viewing standard definition content.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and TCL S435 (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The LG NANO75 struggles in bright rooms due to its poor handling of SDR and HDR brightness, and although it has good reflection handling, this does not compensate for the lack of brightness. On the other hand, the TCL S435 also faces difficulties in bright environments with both poor SDR and HDR brightness as well as inadequate reflections handling, which together result in compromised visibility.

About LG
LG, a prominent TV brand from Korea, has played a significant role in popularizing OLED TVs. OLED technology is hailed as the future of TV technology. Their TVs employ WebOS, a proprietary smart TV software that not only offers seamless functionality but also includes gaming-specific features, earning praise from players worldwide. Often regarded as the gateway to unparalleled viewing experiences, LG's mid-range OLEDs come highly recommended, making them a worthwhile investment for those willing to stretch their budget for superior quality.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
