Our Verdict
LG GX OLED
LG NANO90 2020
The LG GX OLED is much better than the LG NANO90 2020, but they use different panel types. The GX's OLED panel can turn off individual pixels, resulting in an infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. It also has much wider viewing angles and has a near-instant response time. On the other hand, the NANO90's LED panel appears to be immune from permanent burn-in, unlike the GX.
