Our Verdict

LG SM9000

LG NANO85 2020

The LG SM9000 is somewhat better than the LG NANO85 2020. They both use IPS panels so they have wide viewing angles and a low contrast ratio, but the contrast is improved on the NANO85 2020. The SM9000 gets brighter, has a slightly lower input lag, and a bit quicker response time, while the NANO85 2020 has much better out-of-the-box color accuracy.
