49NANO816 TV is a Smart TV.\u00a0The webOS 5.0 interface is simple and easy to use, just like other LG TVs.\u00a0Various bugs that were seen in earlier versions are now virtually nonexistent.\u00a0LG is introducing the new ThinQ artificial intelligence in modern models.<\/p>\n
This function is only useful when using a “magic” remote control.\u00a0It comes standard with LG NANO816.\u00a0Further, it makes no sense to repeat the same phrases, describing the\u00a0differences between webOS 5.0 and webOS 4.5\u00a0or Smart capabilities of the series in question.<\/p>\n
Picture<\/h3>\n
As for the image in the NANO816 model, we can note good quality thanks to the Nano Cell technology of the matrix.\u00a0But since this is a series of low nanocells, some dubious points can be observed.\u00a0Note the normal picture contrast ratio inherent in TVs with IPS panels.<\/p>\n
Such matrices are installed in the entire NANO816 series.\u00a0Naturally, the contrast at the level of 1550..1690 (the manufacturer claims 1700: 1) cannot be great.\u00a0This figure is better than most IPS TVs and is close to the more expensive\u00a0LG SM9800\u00a0series\u00a0.<\/p>\n
However, black looks closer to gray when viewed in a dark room.\u00a0The local dimming function handles some of the black scenes, but the reproduction of the dark scenes is mediocre.\u00a0If a bright moving object appears on the screen, dark areas are clearly visible around it.<\/p>\n
You can slightly smooth out this defect with the help of local dimming settings – set the “Medium” level, and this will partially solve the problem.\u00a0Peak brightness when playing SDR source at 270 nits.\u00a0If HDR mode is used, then the figure increases to 350 nits.\u00a0These numbers are almost identical to the specifications, even in terms of the maximum brightness of a 10% white window – 560 nits.<\/p>\n
As for the backlight – “good gray uniformity”.\u00a0Edge LED makes the edges of the screen noticeably darker.\u00a0In the center of the screen, there is some kind of “dirty on-screen effect” that is distracting when watching fast-moving scenes.\u00a0Screen frequency in native mode is 50\/60 Hz, VRR is absent.\u00a0HDR support is standard: HDR10 Pro and HLG.<\/p>\n
The interface part is quite standard.\u00a0These are a pair of USB 2.0, an Ethernet RJ45 port, one HDMI 2.0 interface with ARC and CEC support, the remaining three HDMI 2.0 ports are CEC only.\u00a0Satellite input, AV component, optical audio output and standard antenna input.\u00a0One of the advantages is ALLM mode.\u00a0Normal input lag is 86 to 78 ms, minimum gaming 15 ms @ 4K @ 60Hz.<\/p>\n The NANO81 series TVs have a pretty decent frequency response with 2x10W speakers installed.\u00a0But the ability to reproduce very deep bass is missing.\u00a0In general, the sound system has a fairly loud and well-balanced sound profile in the mid and high frequencies.\u00a0This is much better than the\u00a0LG SM8600.<\/p>\n Since the competing\u00a0Samsung Q60T\u00a0QLED and\u00a0Sony XH8096\u00a0models were mentioned at the beginning of the NANO816 review\u00a0, you should figure out what are the similarities and differences between these 4K TVs.\u00a0For clarity, we will operate with data from TVs with 55 diagonal.<\/p>\n The first thing I want to draw your attention to is the VA matrix in Samsung.\u00a0Therefore, the contrast level of Samsung is an enviable 7000: 1 versus 1100: 1 in other compared models.\u00a0And this is despite the fact that Samsung uses Edge LED backlighting without Local Dimming.<\/p>\n All models have a matrix of 8 bits + FRC, the maximum brightness is 500..550 nits.\u00a0But this does not mean that in all modes we will get such an indicator – this is 10% screen backlight, that is, “a bright object on a dark background.”\u00a0In the full-screen version, Sony has a maximum brightness in native mode of 400 nits!<\/p>\n The next thing we pay attention to is support for HDR standards.\u00a0NANO81 – HDR10 Pro and HLG, Q60T – HDR10, HLG, HDR10 + and Quantum HDR, XH80 – Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG.\u00a0This is probably where Sony wins.\u00a0The pixel response time and input lag in all models are approximately the same, as well as the native matrix frequency of 50 \/ 60Hz.\u00a0NANO81’s image dynamics processing is the weakest of all compared models.<\/p>\n Smart TV platforms: webOS 5.0, Tizen 5.5 and Android 9.0 Pie, respectively.\u00a0This is the “taste and color” of the user.\u00a0The sound is standard 2×10 W, but with various improvements.\u00a0The interface part and additional features can be independently compared in\u00a0the difference table\u00a055NANO816NA, QE55Q60T and KD-55XH8096.<\/p>\n The LG NANO816 series in question is mediocre for watching movies.\u00a0The models have a low contrast ratio due to the IPS panel.\u00a0The local dimming function does not do the job very well.\u00a0Dark scenes look worse if a bright subject appears in the frame at the same time.<\/p>\n The NANO81 TV line has poor black uniformity.\u00a0However, despite these \u201cstandard\u201d flaws, the quality of the 1080p content being played, such as Blu-ray, is good and comes close to native 4K content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apparently, NANO81 TVs have replaced the LG SM8600 series.\u00a0The main competitors are Samsung Q60T QLED and Sony XH8096.\u00a0The LG NANO81 TV line is the budget series among the LG NanoCell.\u00a0It sits between\u00a0LG NANO806\u00a0and\u00a0LG NANO866\u00a0.
