Our verdict

LG NANO82T is the first model from LG's television series for 2024 that offers NanoCell technology. It is aimed at a wide audience looking for a television with an attractive operating system. WebOS is incredibly intuitive and fast, providing a broad range of applications to install and easy handling. The Magic Remote, functioning like a computer mouse, allows for convenient navigation through the menu, and voice commands in Polish further simplify the use of the television. When it comes to everyday use, LG NANO82T will definitely not disappoint us. It supports recording functionality, which allows for saving favourite programs, and it has good capabilities for enhancing lower-quality images. It also offers features like AirPlay and easy device pairing thanks to built-in Bluetooth. In terms of picture quality, the television may not offer the highest brightness, but its contrast is quite decent. The VA panel provides deep blacks and clear details, making the experience of watching movies and television shows enjoyable. Additionally, the television is a good choice for occasional gamers and PC users. It has low input lag and basic features for PS5/XBOX consoles. As for PC users, the readability of fonts is at a very high level. LG NANO82T is a great choice for those seeking a versatile device with a modern operating system and innovative solutions that will satisfy most users.

Sony X90L is a higher-end model from the Japanese manufacturer that premiered in 2023, but it will successfully continue into 2024 as well. The Sony brand and the name Bravia are associated with excellent picture quality, and this model confirms that reputation – it offers great brightness and very good black levels. Despite having fewer local dimming zones than its competitors, it makes up for this with an advanced algorithm. Additionally, after calibration, the television presents very well-rendered colours, resulting in a natural and cohesive image reminiscent of IMAX cinema. In everyday use, X90L performs excellently, mainly due to the image processor, which effectively scales lower resolution content, and the recording function from the built-in tuner, which is becoming increasingly rare in today’s televisions. Sony is also closely linked with the world of PlayStation, and in this regard, X90L Sony does not disappoint. It is equipped with HDMI 2.1, VRR, ALLM, and a convenient Game Bar, making it a good choice for gamers who expect smooth gameplay and quick response times. However, even in such a successful model, there are some drawbacks. Gamers may be disappointed by the lack of support for HGiG, which could enhance image quality in HDR games. Furthermore, Sony has yet to introduce an update that would reduce input lag in Dolby Vision mode – something achieved in the higher model, the A95L. Those who prefer slimmer devices should know that although Sony X90L looks elegant thanks to its aluminium frame, it is not one of the thinnest televisions on the market. Even though X90L is already a year old, it remains a solid piece of equipment that combines good picture parameters with functionality and support for gamers. It is a successful choice for those seeking a versatile high-end television.

Halo effect and black detail visibility:

LG NANO82T is equipped with a VA panel, which features quite good native contrast. Compared to IPS panels, VA offers better black depth and higher contrast, making images more vivid and realistic. However, due to the lack of local dimming technology – which is fairly typical in this product category – some limitations of the television can be observed. Since the television cannot turn off specific segments of the screen, there is a lack of the so-called "boost" (flare) of those elements. Black often resembles a dark navy colour rather than deep, absolute black. We can witness this situation in the tested film excerpts, e.g. from the film "Sicario 2". This affects the overall picture quality, especially in darker scenes where details may be less clear.

The Sony X90L television is equipped with a VA panel and in the tested size of 65', it has 88 local dimming zones. It may seem that such a number of zones does not make a great impression, but thanks to the local dimming algorithm, the television handles blacks excellently. This is clearly visible in the first and third test patterns, where the contrast reaches nearly 100,000:1. In more demanding scenes, the X90L does not achieve such spectacular results – a contrast level of 6000:1 is just fine. Light separation performs really well, as confirmed by a scene from the film "Oblivion." However, the small number of dimming zones means that the halo effect is noticeable, especially in the test film from "Sicario 2," where the lights of the helicopter cause quite a significant flare over a large portion of the screen. Despite the limited number of dimming zones, the Sony X90L manages to reproduce blacks quite well. Although it does not match the highest series of miniLED or OLED televisions in terms of black depth and contrast level, it offers solid results that are sufficient for most demanding users.

Sony X90L

LG NANO82T6B

The brightness of NANO82T, to be honest, is quite average, especially compared to alternatives at a similar price. The maximum brightness of around 280 nits is not among the highest and may affect the overall viewing experience of HDR content. While many televisions in this price range offer brightness above 400-500 nits, LG NANO82T may seem less impressive. As a result, details in bright areas of the image may be less defined, and the HDR effect is not as spectacular as one might expect.

HDR on the Sony X90L TV looks promising. The luminance chart showed that the television has a solid power reserve, reaching a maximum of 1000 nits in synthetic tests. However, how does this perform in real-world scenarios? In scenes such as the opening of Life of Pi or the final sequence from The Meg, the TV is able to deliver this power on HDR content, reaching about 800 nits. Unfortunately, displaying small light elements on a black background, as seen in the scene from Sicario 2, poses greater challenges for the X90L – here the results drop to around 600 nits. Despite this, when compared to competing models with mini-LED technology, the effect looks very good and can shine just enough to impress us. Notably, the colour gamut coverage is commendable, with a score of 96% for DCI-P3 and 76% for BT.2020, indicating good colour reproduction in HDR content.

Factory Mode

After calibration

The colour reproduction in LG NANO82T in Filmmaker mode, which although is the best mode available from factory settings, is not without flaws. First and foremost, the issue lies with the white balance, where a drop in blue colour levels was noted on the graph. This phenomenon results in a shift in colours towards yellow shades, causing the image to appear warmer than it should. Such a deviation means that the colours on the screen are not naturally reproduced, and this can be particularly noticeable in scenes with a white or neutral background. For example, the image below from the film "Star Wars," where there is a large amount of elements that should be white. The Color Checker test confirms that some colours are "shifting" to other shades, which means that the television is not displaying colours accurately.

Regarding contrast, the gamma graph analysis showed drops to a level of 2.1, while the optimal value should be 2.4. This means that the television may display darker areas of the image brighter in some scenes, reducing their depth and dynamics. Additionally, on the EOTF curve, which is responsible for brightness reproduction, a slight spike was noted at the beginning. This phenomenon may result in excessive brightness boosting in the brightest parts of the image, leading to a loss of detail in very bright scenes.

The best mode in Sony televisions is the IMAX Enhanced mode. Although IMAX is mainly associated with the cinematic experience, here the colour reproduction out of the box is average. In the case of lower quality content, such as HD – regular television or YouTube – it is worth paying attention to the white balance. It is characterised by a deficiency in red and an excessive dominance of blue, which gives the image a pinkish hue. The brightness characteristic, or gamma, for HD content is quite decent, but a slight boost could make the image appear washed out and look as if it is behind a light fog.

In 4K HDR content, the situation looks somewhat different. The white balance shows a significant boost in blue, which causes the image to become unnaturally sharp and seem artificial. Such an exaggeration in colour reproduction may not appeal to everyone, especially if one prefers more realistic shades. Additionally, the EOTF curve in Sony X90L appears quite correct at first glance. However, at the end of the graph, some fluctuations can be seen, suggesting that the television is trying to maintain appropriate brightness to avoid overexposing larger elements.

Color reproduction after calibration

7.6/10

9.1/10

After calibration, the colour reproduction in SDR content on the LG NANO82T is very good. The white balance has been effectively improved, resulting in natural and balanced shades across various scenes. The gamma has also been adjusted, providing a more precise rendering of details both in shadows and bright parts of the image. Thanks to these adjustments, the television performs excellently in everyday use, offering solid colour quality and clear, well-balanced images in SDR mode.

However, in the case of HDR content, the situation is worse. The television does not support a wide colour gamut, limiting the depth and richness of colours that HDR can offer. The EOTF curve deviates from the ideal, leading to excessive accentuation of details in bright parts of the image. Unfortunately, this results in significant colour reproduction errors, as confirmed by tests on the Colour Checker. The low brightness level of the panel further negatively impacts the quality of HDR images, causing dynamic range effects to not be fully realised, and colours to appear washed out.

The television has significantly improved after calibration, especially in SDR content. The improvement in white balance and gamma has greatly enhanced image quality, providing a more natural and coherent colour reproduction. Compared to the pre-calibration state, the difference is noticeable, and the television now offers better performance in everyday use, particularly in the standard dynamic range.

Sony offers a range of tools for improving image quality, including two additional picture modes that we decided to utilise during testing and to apply calibration to. This solution significantly facilitates the calibration process and is very effective, provided the appropriate tools are available. In the case of HD content, the white balance was almost perfectly aligned – only one shade of grey exceeds the error value of "1", which is an excellent result. The same can be said for the brightness characteristic (gamma), which presents itself nearly perfectly, with microscopic deviations on the order of 0.01.

In the case of 4K HDR content, the situation is not quite so ideal. Although the white balance has been greatly improved, it has not been possible to completely eliminate the dominance of blue colour. Nevertheless, the errors on the Colour Checker test only occasionally exceed the value of "2", which means that image distortions are practically imperceptible. As for the EOTF curve, it is worth activating the filter in the top right corner "EOTF in Films" – the graph looks correct, but the television encounters difficulties when illuminating very small elements, which is due to the limited number of dimming zones. Despite these minor errors, it is thanks to the calibration that the IMAX Enhanced mode on the Sony X90L makes watching films feel like a true cinema experience.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

8.9/10

9.2/10

The television handles tonal transitions smoothly, providing high image quality in every scene. Problems with gradation occur sporadically, mainly in darker shades, but they are subtle enough that most viewers will not notice them. Only those with exceptionally keen eyesight may detect these minor imperfections.

The fluidity of tonal transitions in Sony X90L is excellent. The gradation is beautiful on high-quality sources such as 4K streaming. One can only notice slight cuts on more demanding gradients, but the overall effect is very good and should satisfy even the more discerning viewers.

When it comes to gradation in very low-quality materials, LG NANO82T offers us the option of a feature called "Smooth Gradation". In the "Low" setting, this function slightly improves the most problematic tonal transitions, which is noticeable and useful for such content. In the "High" setting, it works even more effectively, improving tonal transitions, but at the expense of smoothing out those details that should not be smoothed. It is a compromise that may not please all users.

As for image scaling, NANO82T is not without certain limitations, especially when playing content with a lower resolution. The television applies a subtle, artificial sharpness boost, which makes the image appear sharper. This effect mainly results from the overlay of artificial contours. For some users, this may be beneficial, as they prefer more pronounced and highlighted details. However, for those who value the naturalness of the image, this effect may turn out to be less appealing and too artificial. It's a subjective matter that may affect viewers differently, depending on their visual preferences.

The Sony X90L television features a tone transition smoothing function known as Soft Gradation, which is extremely effective. Even at the "low" option, the effects are satisfactory, but at the "medium" setting, it works like a dream – we recommend using this option for the best results. The image scaling on the Sony X90L is simply excellent. The image is not overly sharpened, which provides a natural effect and ensures that everything looks cohesive. It's clear that the engineers really focused on this aspect, creating a solution that is impressive and performs well in daily use. Because of this, even when watching content such as regular television or YouTube, where the image is not inherently stunning, one can enjoy a smooth, cohesive, and visually pleasing experience.

LG televisions, including the NANO82T, offer an interesting motion smoother called TruMotion, which will satisfy most users who value control over the quality of the films they watch. The TruMotion feature allows users to adjust the fluidity of the displayed films on a 10-point scale, enabling the personalisation of visual experiences.

However, in the case of more dynamic scenes, such as games or action films, the television performs worse. The 60Hz panel and relatively slow pixel response result in less than ideal motion smoothness. The effect is visible blurring and less smooth display of fast scenes.

Overall, the LG NANO82T should please those who mainly watch films and prefer more subdued content. However, for those who value dynamic, fast motion, we recommend looking for an alternative.

Sony X90L with a 120 Hz panel is an excellent choice for both gamers and cinema enthusiasts. The television is equipped with the Motion Flow smoothing feature, which allows for adjusting motion fluidity using two sliders: "smoothness" and "clarity." The "smoothness" slider controls the level of fluidity in motion, which helps reduce image stuttering, while "clarity" is used to minimize blur and enhance motion sharpness, which is particularly useful in dynamic scenes.

While gaming on the console, LG NANO82T offers a range of features that can significantly impact the gaming experience, although it also has some limitations. Among the advantages, it's worth mentioning the ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) feature, which automatically adjusts the picture settings by switching the television to low latency mode. This is particularly beneficial for gamers who need quick responses to their actions. Another plus is the support for HGiG (HDR Gaming Interest Group), as HDR games are displayed as intended by the developers, providing realistic and vivid visual effects. These features make the LG NANO82T offer a good gaming experience, although some aspects could be better, especially in dynamic scenes. Unfortunately, the LG NANO82T has its limitations when it comes to gaming features. It lacks support for variable refresh rate (VRR), which can affect the smoothness of gameplay, particularly in more dynamic games. The television has a 60Hz panel, preventing the use of higher refresh rates. This is a significant drawback for gamers who expect smoother gameplay at higher resolutions. Additionally, the lack of G-Sync technology support limits image synchronisation capabilities, which may lead to tearing and stuttering in games.

These shortcomings may mean that the LG NANO82T does not meet the expectations of the most demanding gamers who are looking for advanced features and the highest image fluidity.

Sony X90L is a television that performs well in terms of compatibility with consoles and features for gamers. Its 120 Hz panel and two HDMI 2.1 ports with a bandwidth of 48 Gb/s allow for smooth playback of high-resolution games at a high frame rate. Gamers can also take advantage of the ALLM feature, which automatically switches the television to low latency mode, and VRR, which ensures smooth gameplay without image stuttering. The Game Bar is an additional advantage – an intuitive tool that provides quick access to the most important gaming settings and features, facilitating control over gameplay.

Unfortunately, when it comes to HDR in games, the Sony X90L has its limitations. There is a lack of support for HGiG, a standard that many gamers consider crucial for precise HDR reproduction in games. While the television supports Dolby Vision, which could theoretically improve image quality in games, the practical application of this feature is problematic. Dolby Vision in game mode is associated with very high input lag, making gameplay less comfortable and precise movements more difficult. Additionally, it is not possible to enable Dolby Vision alongside VRR. This means that despite its numerous advantages, gamers seeking the ideal HDR in games may feel a sense of disappointment.

The input lag on the LG NANO82T is truly excellent, with a maximum value of just 15 ms. This is an impressive result that ensures a lightning-fast response to player movements. With such low latency, gameplay becomes smooth and responsive, which is crucial for gamers who value quick and precise actions. Regardless of the type of game, the television offers outstanding experiences, minimizing delays and allowing for complete immersion in the gaming world.

Input lag in Sony X90L can be assessed as decent, although it is not outstanding. In Dolby Vision mode, the television operates only at 60 Hz, and the additional high input lag complicates matters as it makes gameplay practically unplayable. For games at the popular frequency of 60 Hz, the input lag is about 25 ms – this is an acceptable result, but for more demanding gamers, it may prove disappointing.

However, those more advanced gamers who have equipment supporting higher refresh rates can expect better results. With a 120 Hz signal, the input lag drops to around 12 ms, providing significantly better responsiveness and smoother gameplay, meeting the expectations of more demanding users.

The cooperation of LG NANO82T with a computer is very good. The readability of the fonts is at a high level, which makes working with text easier. Additionally, the television supports chroma 4:4:4, providing clear and sharp details. The low input lag, at just 14 ms, ensures that all actions on the screen are smooth and responsive. This model offers a panel with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and the lack of support for G-Sync may disappoint gamers. For this reason, the television receives a lower score in the context of gaming, although it performs reasonably well as a work monitor. Unfortunately, we deducted further points for displaying fonts on a dark green background, which can be somewhat annoying in certain cases.

Cooperation with the PC in Sony X90L is at a good level. The X90L television supports chroma 4:4:4, which ensures quite good font visibility, important while working or browsing content on a large screen. Although there are minimal issues with font legibility on a dark background, it is not bothersome enough to pose a major problem in everyday use.

An additional advantage for PC users is the 120 Hz refresh rate and support for G-Sync functionality. As a result, gamers can expect smoother gameplay without the effect of stuttering or tearing, which significantly enhances comfort and the gaming experience.

The viewing angles on the LG NANO82T are not the best, which is typical for budget VA panels. Colours lose their intensity, and contrast worsens when viewed from the side. Blacks become more washed out, and details less sharp. This can impact the viewing quality in larger rooms, where viewers are seated at different angles. This is one of the main drawbacks of VA panels in lower-end televisions. Although they offer better contrast and deeper blacks compared to IPS panels, the viewing angles are significantly limited. If we often watch television from various spots in the room, it may affect our visual experience.

The viewing angles on the Sony X90L are unfortunately very poor, which is typical for VA panels. The picture quality degrades when viewed at an angle, which can be problematic when watching from a greater distance or with a larger group of people. It's a shame that the manufacturer did not use a coating to widen the viewing angles, which could significantly improve this aspect and make the television more versatile for different room layouts.

In the category of daytime performance, LG NANO82T does not perform the best. The satin matrix offers average reflection suppression, which can be problematic in bright rooms. The low rating is mainly due to the very poor screen brightness of only 250 nits. As a result, the television may struggle to provide adequate image quality in well-lit environments, limiting its functionality under such conditions.

The performance of the television Sony X90L during the day is very good. The satin matrix effectively dampens reflections, which minimises glare and keeps the image clear even in bright rooms. An SDR brightness level of 785 cd/m² allows for comfortable viewing of standard television and lower quality materials regardless of the time of day. As a result, the X90L will perform excellently in both well-lit living rooms and more sunlit spaces.

LG NANO82T offers a wide range of features that significantly enhance user comfort. The webOS operating system deserves special attention. It is intuitive, quick, and offers plenty of applications that can be easily installed and operated. The Magic Remote, or PilotMagic, is another convenience. It works like a computer mouse and allows for quick navigation through the menu. Moreover, it supports voice commands in Polish, which greatly facilitates the use of the television. WebOS also supports AirPlay, enabling easy content streaming from Apple devices such as the iPhone or iPad.

In everyday use, the television performs excellently. It is equipped with a recording function, allowing users to save their favourite programmes and watch them at a convenient time. Pairing other devices is also trouble-free thanks to the built-in Bluetooth. You can easily connect headphones, speakers, or even keyboards and mice, making the television even more versatile. However, it is worth mentioning a downside in the lack of PIP (Picture-in-Picture) functionality, which would allow for simultaneous viewing of two programmes. Despite this, the LG NANO82T is a great choice for everyday use, offering many modern and convenient features.

Sony X90L offers a rich set of features, starting with the Google TV system, which is the heart of entertainment. This solution provides access to a vast array of applications and streaming services, and the interface is intuitive and straightforward. With the support of a voice assistant, using the television becomes even more convenient – just one command is enough to find your favourite films, series, or music. Google TV operates smoothly and allows for full personalisation, making everyday use enjoyable and hassle-free.

The television also offers a number of user-friendly features. It supports AirPlay and Miracast, enabling easy content sharing from mobile devices. Additionally, other devices can be connected via Bluetooth, which enhances versatility and user convenience. For those who prefer traditional television viewing, there is even a recording feature available without the need for an external decoder, which is a significant advantage for fans of live shows.

In terms of design, Sony X90L may not be the sleekest, but its appearance is impressive thanks to a metal frame that adds elegance. The television is equipped with a base that can be positioned in three different ways, allowing for adjustments according to different spaces and user preferences.

The file player in the LG NANO82T is similar to what can be found in other LG models. It will satisfy most users by offering convenient and efficient playback of a variety of video and audio files. However, more demanding users, particularly those who require support for unusual photo formats, may experience some limitations. In such cases, it is worth using a computer to achieve full compatibility with different file formats. Overall, the file player in the LG NANO82T meets its basic purpose.

Sony X90L handles the playback of most popular file formats from USB without any issues, which is a big plus for those who often access external content. However, it is worth mentioning a slight downside – the built-in player does not allow for changing the font colour in subtitles, which may be problematic for some. Fortunately, thanks to the extensive Google TV system, users have a wide range of options. Alternative media players, which offer more personalisation options, can be easily installed.

The sound on the LG NANO82T may not be outstanding, but it is definitely not among the worst. The television is equipped with a typical construction of two 10W speakers placed underneath, which allows for decent sound quality during everyday use. However, the lack of DTS format support may disappoint Blu-ray users who expect the highest audio quality.

The sound on the Sony X90L is pleasant and clear, and the presence of bass makes the audio richer. The television performs well when playing music, offering satisfactory audio experiences. An additional advantage is the support for Dolby Atmos and DTS technologies, which provide a more spatial and immersive sound. As a result, films, games, and music gain depth and realism, creating a better experience for the user.
