The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for sports, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is only fair.
When watching sports, the Sony X80K outperforms the LG NANO75 largely due to its superior motion processing, which makes fast-moving content smoother, and better gray uniformity, which reduces visual artifacts on the screen. While both TVs struggle with reflections to some extent, compromising their performance in very bright rooms, the Sony offers wider viewing angles that keep the image more consistent when seen from the side, which is beneficial when watching with a group.

The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X80K provides a better experience for watching cartoons and animation due to its superior colors out of the box and a better color gamut, which are essential for vibrant and accurate color reproduction in animated content. On the other hand, the LG NANO75's performance in these areas is not as strong, resulting in less appealing coloration for this type of content.

The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X80K provides a better upscaling of lower-resolution content and has superior SDR brightness, making it more suitable for watching news and TV programs as it will enhance the clarity and visibility of the image. Meanwhile, the LG NANO75 has fair upscaling capabilities and SDR brightness performance, resulting in less clarity compared to the Sony X80K. Additionally, differences in color reproduction out of the box and color gamut contribute to the Sony X80K's better suitability for standard viewing experiences.

The Sony X80K (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 struggles with poor SDR and HDR brightness and handles reflections only 'good,' making it unsuitable for bright rooms, whereas the Sony X80K offers 'good' SDR brightness, 'fair' HDR brightness, and 'fair' reflections handling, giving it a slight edge in brighter environments. Although both TVs have similar contrast and color performance, with the Sony slightly ahead in color volume and gamut, its better handling of brightness and reflections ultimately provides a more comfortable viewing experience in well-lit conditions.

Additionally, the LG NANO75 falls short in black uniformity compared to the Sony X80K, which is slightly better in this regard, but both still struggle to produce true blacks and maintain color fidelity at various viewing angles, making them less suitable for dark-room viewing.

The Sony X80K (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG NANO75 and Sony X80K both have LCD screens with a 60Hz refresh rate and their performance for gaming is hindered due to mediocre response time and input lag, making them less ideal for fast-paced gaming where quick screen updates are crucial. Neither TV excels in reacting promptly to input or displaying rapid movements smoothly, which are key aspects for an immersive gaming experience.

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | February 2023
"The Sony Bravia X80K is an inexpensive LCD TV that turns out pleasing visuals and is armed with a number of other desirable features. Sony’s robust internal processing, results in generally better picture quality than you’ll usually get for this price. In practice, the X80K is satisfying to watch. You’re not going to get as sumptuous a picture as you may with other TVs from Sony or other companies, but we didn’t encounter anything that looked bad on it."
