Our Verdict
LG NANO90 2020
LG NANO80 2020
The LG NANO90 2020 is much better than the LG NAN080 2020. The NANO90 gets brighter, has a full-array local dimming feature, VRR support, and a 120Hz panel. It also has a quicker response time and better reflection handling. However, the NANO80 has a lower input lag and slightly better gradient handling.
