The LG NANO75 is a lower midrange priced TV and usually significantly less expensive than the Sony X90L. If you're primarily watching TV shows or news in rooms that aren't too bright, the LG NANO75 could serve well, especially if you're on a tighter budget. However, the Sony X90L, despite its higher price, offers a better overall viewing experience for movies and sports, with enhanced picture quality, and is also well-suited for gaming due to its higher refresh rate. Additionally, the Sony X90L is likely to perform better in brighter rooms, making it the better choice for well-lit environments.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 displays cartoons with less vibrant and true-to-life colors due to its fair color gamut and poor color volume which affects the range and depth of colors that can be shown; in contrast, the Sony X90L excels in presenting vibrant and rich colors in animation content with its good color gamut and very good color volume, leading to a more immersive viewing experience. The LG NANO75 also has a lower contrast and uniformity which can lead to less defined images, while the Sony X90L with its better contrast and gray uniformity will provide more consistent quality across the screen.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90L (LCD) provides an excellent experience for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs due to its high-quality upscaling that maintains clarity at various resolutions and its strong SDR brightness that ensures a vibrant display in diverse lighting. In contrast, the LG NANO75 (LCD), while fair for such content, falls short in both upscaling and SDR brightness, which are especially important for maintaining picture quality and visibility in bright rooms.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 struggles in bright rooms because it has poor brightness performance in both SDR and HDR content, and although it handles reflections well, it can’t overcome its lackluster brightness. In contrast, the Sony X90L excels in bright situations thanks to its excellent SDR brightness and very good HDR brightness, but keep in mind its reflections handling is considered poor, which might be a concern in a very bright or directly lit room.
Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X90L (LCD) to be good for sports, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90L is considered better for watching sports compared to the LG NANO75 as it has a higher motion processing capacity and better response time, which are very important for fast-moving content such as sports. The Sony X90L also has better handling of reflections, which is crucial in bright rooms, whereas the LG NANO75, despite its good viewing angles, falls short in these key areas.
