Product Overview

LG 2020 NanoCell 99-Series 8K smart TVs combines full-array LED backlighting with LG's advanced IPS panel: thanks to nano-scale light-absorbing filter that removes unwanted wavelengths of light, the NanoCell 99-series delivers improved color accuracy, saturation, and contrast.
Except for the different in panel type, the NanoCell 99 is equivalent to LG's 2020 flagship SIGNATURE ZX-series 8K OLED TV.

Reviewers from rtings have found the following***:
The LG NANO99 8k is a good overall TV, but it's not worth its price tag considering how little 8k content is available in 2020. It has excellent reflection handling and decent peak brightness, but due to its low contrast ratio and poor local dimming, it is not a good choice for viewing in dark rooms. The Samsung Q80/Q80T QLED is much better overall, but they have a few different features. However, the LG has a quicker response time, it displays 4k and 8kcontent perfectly, and it has better reflection handling.

Pros
  • Much wider viewing angles
  • Excellent reflection handling
  • VRR support
Cons
  • Low contrast ratio
  • Poor local dimming

The LG 65NANO99UNA is a good overall TV. It performs best when watching TV shows or sports because it has wide viewing angles, decent peak brightness, and excellent reflection handling. Sadly, it doesn't perform well in dark rooms due to its low contrast ratio, disappointing black uniformity, and poorly-performing local dimming feature.

Pros
  • Wide viewing angles

Cons
