LG Nano86 Series (2020)

ARC doesn't work-Support Doesn't know anything-Still waiting a month on service – Purchased TV in May(23) from Betta waited until 2nd of July to receive it. Registered it on LG website-copy of receipt required Hooked up ARC according to the book. Nothing. TV's sound is hideous. Called support-kept telling me to plug the cable into HDMI1, I kept telling him HDMI3 is labelled ARC. Finally after 3 hours got escalated. 2 weeks… Read more

later LG called and walked me through everything, again. This one did at least know HDMI3 was ARC. Still nothing but did get optical working. I don't want optical I want ARC. Said she would send someone out. 10 days later-LG-I need a copy of your receipt-it's on my account. Well I need a copy or I can't send anyone out. Ok. She sent a link that didn't work. Send another link finally went through. That was 2 weeks ago and nothing. I don't hold out much hope for any resolution. All I want is all my equipment to work and get the best sound. Apparently that isn't going to ever happen. NO I wouldn't recommend this TV or LG support They are the absolute worst.

Awful horrible tv , I’m surprised it’s not pulled from the shelves !! Will share pics – Purchased today and the lights when watching movies is horrendous. On normal tv it’s not noticeable…I will be returning this tv as it is not pleasant to watch in fact it’s annoying . Sound when talking is too low but when music or dramatic scene it too loud . This TV is worth $400 max due to the fact that you will need to buy another TV to watch movies on. Show details

Good unit let down by edge-lighting – The good Owned since August 2020 and used primarily for watching movies as part of a home theatre setup. This is the 3rd 55" LG TV I have owned. The previous models are the excellent 55LM7600, and an edge-lit 55UK6540PTD which is used for watching news and sport. The 55NANO86TNA is aesthetically pleasing with a minimal bezel. Setup is… Read more

straight-forward and the user interface is intuitive. Picture performance for watching terrestrial programming and 16:9 content that is well lit is generally very good.

The bad

Where this TV is a major let down is in a home theatre set-up, for watching movies in a darkly lit room. Especially if the movies are generally dark (i.e. Sci Fi) or letterboxed to 2.35:1. The edge lighting has a design compromise that makes it unsuitable for watching movies in above conditions. The lighting is controlled by LED modules mounted on the horizontal edge of the panel. When attempting to illuminate a portion of a black screen, the LEDs will cause an entire vertical section of the screen which should be black to be brightened. When watching dark scenes such as travelling through space, you are going to be witnessing these vertical blurred bars moving across the screen and it is very unsatisfactory.

Summary

Perfect for watching sport and general 16:9 content. Not recommended for HT setup. Look at OLED if you can afford instead.

Excellent LG Product – Once again LG have produced a quality product however be careful going forward when considering a purchase...It has many excellent useful features but be careful when buying a model as above as the 65NanoCell 86TNA use's edge lit "LED" and it's annoying when you see the screen go all black and then one side of the screen mainly bottom edge towards… Read more ·  1

the left is super bright due to the edge just being glaringly obvious...Dark areas within shows such as household / buildings and their internal areas also bad weather shots can be very, very dark around actors...Otherwise it represents good to better value than others...
