Product Overview

LG NanoCell 97 8K TV is a more affordable variant of the flagship NanoCell 99: It is backlit by a lesser full-array LED setup, comes with a 2.2-channel speaker system, and is thicker; the two are otherwise identical.
For the next step down, LG markets the NanoCell 95 in select markets with a lower refresh rate.
