NanoCell TVs are the newest addition to LG’s range of smart TVs. They represent the highest level of picture quality that LG has to offer amongst their 4K range. Of course, this upgrade comes with an increase in price.

The question you may have is, what exactly is the difference and is it worth paying the extra cost to own this fancy piece of kit?

First of all, we need to understand how exactly NanoCell televisions work. Essentially, LG says that NanoCells work by absorbing light and converting it into red and green colours with a lot more precision.

The result is incredible picture quality due to the ability of these NanoCells to absorb unwanted light wavelengths that enriches the display. This superior picture quality can not be replicated in your standard 4K TVs, which is what sets it apart from the others.

IPS stands for In-plane switching, which is a form of display technology that increases the viewing angle. This allows you to sit at wide viewing angles without reducing the quality of the picture on the screen.

The use of NanoCells in the TVs improves on IPS by using what is known as full-array local dimming, which works to enhance the contrast ratio by reducing backlight during dark scenes.

The NanoCells also absorb background light and convert it into colours used to enrich the image quality. This improves the overall viewing experience whilst increasing the angle at which the screen can be viewed. This means more people can enjoy your new TV on movie night.

Samsung QLED TVs are not the only brand utilising quantum dot technology to enhance their picture. LG has introduced Quantum Dot NanoCell Colour technology, which is designed to offer a much greater range of colours with increased precision.

This new technology makes it the best NanoCell television currently available on the market, and the only way to upgrade further will be to switch to an OLED TV.

It should be said that these TVs all offer the smart features you’d expect, such as Google Assistant, magic remote and Dolby vision.

Will the picture quality on an LG NanoCell TV rival OLED TVs?

Both LG NanoCell TVs and OLED TVs offer stunning displays that anyone would be pleased to have in their living room. That being said, the OLED TV still wins when it comes to providing the best viewing experience.

This is simply because OLED televisions do not use a backlight which allows the picture to be more precise and with respect to sharpness and colour.

What price should I expect to pay for an LG NanoCell LED LCD TV?

Prices of LG NanoCell TVs range from $2000 – $5000+ based on the model and screen size you choose. For example, the LG 55″ NANO86 4K Smart TV has a price tag of $2279.

Whereas something like the LG 86″ NANO86 4K Smart TV will set you back around $5299.

Can an LG NanoCell TV burn-in if left on an image for long enough?

One of the advantages of TVs with NanoCell technology is that they do not run the risk of damage from burn-in as a result of leaving a static image on the TV.

Do other brands have NanoCell?

This type of technology is exclusive to LG, which means that you will not find the same type of TV anywhere else on the market. It has not been licensed for use by other companies, and therefore if you want a TV that uses NanoCells, you will have to buy an LG TV.

Overall, which is better out of the NanoCell or the QLED?

The answer to this question really depends on your personal preference. Whilst NanoCell provides a better picture quality overall, QLED is better if you’re looking for a higher contrast ratio more intense blacks.
