The LG NANO75 is generally less expensive than the Samsung Q70A. When it comes to overall picture quality, the Samsung Q70A has a better performance. The Q70A also boasts superior gaming experience, which could be especially important if you play fast-paced games. For watching sports, both TVs have similar scores, but for movies and general content watching in dark rooms, the Samsung Q70A outperforms the LG NANO75. The Q70A is also better suited for bright room viewing due to its higher bright room score. However, the LG NANO75 has a better viewing angle, which makes it a good option if you often watch TV with a large group spread out across the room. In summary, if you're looking for a TV with better picture quality, gaming performance, and dark room viewing, and don't mind paying more, go for the Samsung Q70A. If budget is a concern and you value wide viewing angles, the LG NANO75 could be the more suitable option. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 has a lower contrast ratio, no local dimming, and poor black uniformity, which can affect the depth and quality of dark scenes typically found in movies and cinematic TV content. In contrast, the Samsung Q70A offers a higher contrast ratio and better black uniformity, providing a fair movie-watching experience but still lacks effective local dimming, which can limit the ability to display true-to-life dark scenes.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for gaming, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 has a fair response time, which can cause motion blur during fast-paced games, while the Samsung Q70A's very good response time provides a clearer picture in such situations. Both TVs have the best input lag performance for minimal delay between player actions and on-screen reactions, but the superior response time of the Samsung Q70A makes it a better choice for gaming.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 is poorer for cartoons and animation due to less accurate colors out of the box and a fair color gamut, which affects the vibrancy and accuracy of hues, whereas the Samsung Q70A is very good because it delivers very good colors right away and has both good color gamut and color volume, leading to a richer and more accurate portrayal of animated content. Additionally, factors like color volume, which is good on the Samsung and gray uniformity, are somewhat important and also contribute to the Samsung Q70A providing a more enjoyable viewing experience for cartoons and animation.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for bright room, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 struggles in bright rooms due to lower SDR and HDR brightness levels and poorer reflection handling, while the Samsung Q70A performs better in bright conditions with higher brightness and better reflection handling despite its poor viewing angle which might affect off-angle viewers. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut are important too, where the Samsung Q70A leads with better contrast which helps dark scene details, and maintains good color reproduction across a range of brightness levels.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG NANO75 has better viewing angles which is good for a wide seating arrangement but has only fair reflection handling which can be a concern in bright rooms. Conversely, the Samsung Q70A has a very good response time reducing motion blur important for fast action in sports but is hampered by poorer viewing angles making it less ideal if viewers are sitting off to the side. Both TVs exhibit fair motion processing and gray uniformity which may affect the smoothness of movement and uniformity of the playing field respectively.
