The LG NANO75 is typically much less expensive and might be a good choice if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option. It performs reasonably well for sports content and has a decent overall picture quality. However, it's not the best choice for dark room viewing due to its lower dark room performance.
On the other hand, the LG QNED90 offers significantly better dark room performance and overall picture quality, making it a better choice for cinematic experiences and HDR content. It also has a better gaming experience and is suited for bright rooms. This TV is more expensive, though, so this choice may hinge on whether the enhanced quality is worth the additional cost for you. Both TVs have limitations with reflections and might not be ideal for very bright environments. Give Feedback

The LG QNED90 (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 struggles with movies and cinematic TV primarily due to its poor contrast, lack of local dimming, and inferior black uniformity; these factors are key for producing deep blacks and a rich picture, especially in darker scenes. The LG QNED90 offers a better experience, offering fair performances in movies and cinematic TV by providing better contrast, local dimming support, and improved black uniformity, which contribute to a more compelling viewing experience in various lighting conditions and content types.

The LG QNED90 (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 is considered poor for watching cartoons and animation because it has fair colors out of the box and a poor color gamut, limiting its ability to display vibrant and varied colors. In contrast, the LG QNED90 is considered good due to better performance in colors out of the box and a good color gamut, allowing for more accurate and wider color representation, which enhances animated content.
