LG NANO75 (LCD) vs LG UP8000 (LCD)

For watching sports on the LG NANO75, the average response time and motion processing capabilities result in a fair experience with some blur in fast-moving scenes, and its performance in managing reflections is competent, making it suitable for rooms with some light. The LG UP8000, while having slightly better viewing angles, features motion processing that is less sophisticated, but also has fair response time, meaning it will also show some blur during fast action; its reflections handling is similarly competent, but overall gray uniformity is marginally better, which is less crucial for sports.

The LG NANO75 and LG UP8000 have lower response time and input lag scores which are essential for a smooth gaming experience as they determine how quickly the display can react to input and render images. With suboptimal response times and input lags, both TVs may exhibit delays and motion blur during fast-paced gaming, which could hinder performance for serious gamers.

The LG NANO75 and LG UP8000 both have less accurate colors out of the box and limited color gamut, which means cartoons and animated content may not look as vivid or true-to-life as they could on TVs with a wider, more accurate range of colors. While both TVs are similarly challenged in color volume and gray uniformity, these factors are less impactful than color accuracy and gamut, though they could still affect the overall look of animation, with the NANO75 having a slight edge in gray uniformity.

The LG NANO75 has respectable upscaling capabilities and fair colors out of the box, making it suitable for watching standard definition (SD) content like news and talk shows, but its SDR brightness is only rated as poor, limiting its performance in well-lit environments. Similarly, the LG UP8000 excels in upscaling SD content with similar capabilities for colors out of the box, and while it too has fair SDR brightness, it outperforms the NANO75 marginally in contrast, enhancing the viewability of various content types.

The LG NANO75 and LG UP8000 both have poor SDR and HDR brightness, which makes them perform poorly in bright rooms, as they cannot get bright enough to overcome glare. Additionally, while they handle reflections well, their poor color volume and only fair color gamut further limit the picture quality in well-lit environments.
