Our Verdict
Samsung Q80/Q80A QLED
LG NANO85 2021
The Samsung Q80/Q80A QLED is better overall than the LG NANO85 2021. They each have similar panel types, and the Samsung TV delivers better picture quality. It gets significantly brighter and has better reflection handling. Even though the dark room performance on either TV isn't good, the Samsung has a full-array local dimming feature, while the LG is edge-lit, so the local dimming is less distracting on the Samsung. They have the same gaming features, but the Samsung TV has lower input lag for a more responsive feel.
