We used the following calibration settings to review the LG NANO75 65" (65NANO75UPA), and we expect them to be valid for the 43" model (43NANO75UPA), 50" model (50NANO75UPA), 55" model (55NANO75UPA), 70" model (70NANO75UPA), 75" model (75NANO75UPA), and the 86" model (86NANO75UPA). These settings should apply to most types of content, except for gaming or use as a PC monitor, which require a few additional changes, listed below.
One of the first things we did was disable all of the Energy Saving and automatic image modes, as we don't want the TV to adjust the image during testing. For the LG NANO75, we set Energy Saving Step to 'Off', and from the General menu we set AI Picture to 'Off', and we also disabled Motion Eye Care in the Brightness menu. You should adjust these settings to your preference.
For SDR content, we recommend choosing the 'Expert (Dark space, night)' Picture Mode, as it is the most accurate one out of the box, and allows for the most customization. If you watch in a brighter room, 'Expert (Bright Space, day)' is almost as accurate.
We recommend setting the Contrast to '80', Color Depth at '50', and Tint at '0'.
To adjust the TV's luminosity, you should adjust the Panel Brightness setting depending on your specific viewing conditions. Changing this setting does not have any impact on the overall picture quality. The Screen Brightness setting adjusts the image itself and not the TV's luminosity. We usually recommend leaving this at '50'. We also set the Color Temperature to 'Warm 50', as it delivers the closest color temperature to our D65 target white point.
HDR is automatically enabled for the native apps. Once you start playing HDR content, some of the settings change automatically. We recommend leaving these settings to their default settings in HDR.
For HDR to work from external devices, the HDMI Deep Color option usually has to be set to '4K' from the 'HDMI Settings' menu for the input you are using. Older devices may have compatibility issues if this option is left enabled, so it is recommended to only enable this setting for devices that require it.
Although we disable most motion enhancing functions for most of our tests, you should adjust these to whatever looks best for you. Some settings, like motion interpolation settings, may need to be adjusted depending on the specific content you are watching.
If you want to enable motion interpolation, set TruMotion to 'User Selection', and adjust the De-Judder slider to your personal preference. It can interpolate 24 or 30fps content up to 60fps, but it can't improve the appearance of motion with 60fps content.
Unfortunately, the LG NANO75 doesn't have a black frame insertion feature.
The LG NANO75 can only remove judder from 24p sources and the native apps. To do so, simply enable the Cinema Screen setting from the 'Picture Mode Settings' menu.
From the base SDR and HDR settings, very few changes are required for a great gaming experience. The LG NANO75 should automatically switch to the 'Game Optimizer' Picture Mode when it detects a game is being played, and switch out of it when you stop playing, as long as you have the Game Optimizer setting enabled.
For HDR Gaming, it is recommended to set HDMI Deep Color to '4K' for the port you are using, otherwise, you might have some issues.
For an optimal PC gaming experience and proper chroma 4:4:4 support, it is important to set the input label to 'PC' for the HDMI port you are using. Once you have set the label, it is recommended to reapply our base SDR or HDR settings, as the picture modes change when you set the label. This can be done from the 'Home Dashboard' menu. Depending on the format you are sending, it might also be necessary to set the HDMI Deep Color setting to '4K' for the port you are using.
Unfortunately, the LG NANO75 doesn't support variable refresh rates (VRR).
The following are the results of the white balance and colorspace calibration on our unit. They are provided for reference, and should not be copied as the calibration values vary per individual unit even for the same model and same size as the TV we reviewed due to manufacturing tolerances. If you want to try them you will need to enter all values shown, as all of them are active at the same time. If you end up with worse picture quality, simply reset them to the default values.
