Well not me my parents. They want to get a 4K TV ideally 55" and have sent me two LG links they have spotted. Budget ~£500-600. They like buying LG, but open to ideas. As far as I can see they are almost identical spec, both LCD but one uses a newer NanoCell tech. I’m assuming the NanoCell is better?

Yeah looks like an ace option, I think they were wanting 55" the 55NANO86 being another £100 for the extra 6" I’ve just been messaged that they are now looking at this instead so much for that £500-600. ## Samsung QE55Q80T > **[Samsung QE55Q80T](https://www.richersounds.com/samsung-qe55q80t.html)** > > ”Samsung’s Q80T QLED sets a formidable mid-range benchmark. ” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review. ---

Take a look at this… [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REJplBJVp9E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REJplBJVp9E) The IPS panels used in the LG Nanocell don’t really compare to the Samsung QLED ---

Really good video, cheers. I’ll send them the link. I have a feeling they’ll go with that 55" Q80T for £899, seems a decent price for what you get. ---

Did you go 55 / 65 / 75 ? Looks like better HDR 2000 than the 80/85. ![Screenshot_20201118-143730](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/0/e/0eeee6436aeddb7319a98252a39e7d4a2fd4cef6.png) ---

I have a 55 inch. It does get impressively bright. I think the Q90T might have more local dimming zones too. I’m not 100% sure on that though.
