If you're looking for a more affordable option, the TCL S455 is less expensive and provides better picture quality for general content, particularly good for animation and reality TV shows. However, the LG NANO75 offers better performance for sports and somewhat better picture quality in bright rooms, but it is at a higher price point. Both TVs may not be the best for dark room viewing, as they have limited performance in that setting. Neither are standout choices for gaming. Consider the types of content you watch most and your budget when making your decision. Give Feedback

The TCL S455 (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 TV struggles with watching movies and cinematic TV due to its lower contrast ratio, ineffective local dimming, and poor black uniformity, which are all very important for dark scene performance. On the other hand, the TCL S455, while rated better than the LG NANO75, exhibits somewhat better contrast and black uniformity, but still has limitations with local dimming and overall black level performance that can affect the viewing experience for movies and cinematic content.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and TCL S455 (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG NANO75 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The LG NANO75's motion processing is decent, which is good for sports, but its narrow viewing angles and just fair reflection handling can be limiting if you often watch games with a group or in a lit room. Conversely, the TCL S455, while offering excellent black uniformity which benefits watching sports, falls short with its motion processing and also struggles with reflections and viewing angles, indicating it might not provide the optimal experience in bright rooms or for viewers seated off-center.

The TCL S455 (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG NANO75 has fair response time and the best input lag, making it somewhat suitable for casual gaming, while the TCL S455 also has fair response time but the best input lag, indicating that both TVs might not be ideal for fast-paced gaming due to average motion handling but are responsive for inputs. Without high refresh rates, neither TV is optimal for competitive gaming where every millisecond counts.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL S455 (LCD) to be only fair for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 is considered poor for watching cartoons and animation because although it has good colors out of the box, its color gamut is only fair, which might not represent the wide range of vivid colors typically found in animated content. On the other hand, the TCL S455 is considered fair due to similar issues with its poor color gamut, yet it may handle colors slightly better overall due to its fair performance in both colors out of the box and color volume, but it may not provide as rich and vibrant colors as some higher-end models.

The TCL S455 (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The LG NANO75 and TCL S455 are both considered fair for watching news and talk shows because they handle upscaling well, which is important for lower-resolution content typically found in such programming. Both have fair SDR brightness, making them suitable for average lit rooms, but their color performance out of the box and color gamut are only average, which may not be ideal for viewers seeking more vibrant, true-to-life colors.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL S455 (LCD) to be only fair for bright room, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 performs poorly in bright rooms due to its low SDR and HDR brightness and although it handles reflections well, it's not enough to counteract its dim display. The TCL S455 is a better option for a bright room because it has fair SDR brightness and fair reflection handling, enabling it to handle ambient light more effectively even with a lack of local dimming which is also the case for the LG NANO75.

"A highly affordable but reliably kitted-out 4K Roku TV that, while far from perfect, still punches above its price and delivers a great user experience. If you want to soup up movie night for a bargain, the 4-Series won’t let you down. You may never need to plug in a set-top box or streaming device."

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.
