Our Verdict
LG NANO85 2021
LG NANO75 2021
The LG NANO85 2021 is better overall than the LG NANO75 2021, mainly because it has more features. They each have the same panel type with low contrast and wide viewing angles, and even though the NANO85 has a local dimming feature, it performs terribly and is distracting with dark scenes. The NANO85 is a better choice for rooms with a few lights around because it gets brighter, but it's still not enough to fight a ton of glare. Lastly, the NANO85 has more gaming features like a 120Hz panel, HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and VRR support to reduce screen tearing.
