Our Verdict

LG NANO85 2020

LG NANO81

The LG NANO85 2020 is a bit better than the LG NANO81. The NANO85 2020 has a 120Hz refresh rate and it currently supports HDMI Forum's VRR. It also has a quicker response time, a black frame insertion feature, better out-of-the-box color accuracy, and it gets brighter. However, the NANO81 has a lower input lag, better reflection handling, and it has a more premium-looking center-mounted stand.
