LG NU71 85" Nano UHD 4K Smart TV vs Panasonic W80C 85" 4K QLED Fire TV

For a big 85-inch screen, the Panasonic W80C is the better TV: its 120Hz QLED+ panel, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, and glare-free coating make it a real step up in motion, color and bright-room viewing. The LG NU71 is an entry-level Nano set with a 60Hz panel, HDR10/HLG only and no Dolby Vision, so it suits buyers who mainly want maximum screen size for casual viewing. Owners of budget 60Hz sets often note motion blur on sports; 120Hz panels like the W80C are widely praised for smoothing it. The LG's webOS is polished and its α7 processor upscales well, but the Panasonic wins on picture hardware.

  • Choose the LG NU71 if you want the largest screen for the least outlay and mostly watch streaming shows and movies in a dim room.
  • Choose the Panasonic W80C if you watch sports, play games, or have a bright room and want smoother motion, Dolby Vision and an anti-glare screen.

What reviewers say

LG NU71 85" Nano UHD 4K Smart TV

Owners of LG's entry-level Nano sets generally praise the size and smart features for the money, while noting that picture quality is basic. The NU71 is best treated as a big-screen value buy rather than a home-theater centerpiece.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityMixedReviewers call the picture fine for everyday viewing but short of the contrast and black levels of pricier sets.
  • Screen sizePraisedOwners say the 85-inch screen delivers the big-theater feel they wanted.
  • MotionCriticisedThe 60Hz panel can blur fast action, which owners notice during sports and gaming.
  • Smart featuresPraisedwebOS is described as easy to navigate with plenty of streaming apps and voice control.

Questions and answers

Which is better for watching sports?
The Panasonic W80C. Its 120Hz panel smooths fast motion far better than the LG's 60Hz panel, which is more prone to blur on a screen this large.
Does the LG NU71 support Dolby Vision?
No. It handles HDR10 and HLG only. The Panasonic adds Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which most major streaming services use.
Which handles a bright room better?
The Panasonic. It has a Glare Free Max anti-glare coating and a specified 350-nit panel. The LG is an entry-level set with standard coating and no published brightness figure.
Is the Panasonic worth stepping up to?
For most buyers, yes. The jump from 60Hz to 120Hz, plus Dolby Vision and anti-glare, is a meaningful picture upgrade on an 85-inch screen.
Which is better for gaming?
The Panasonic, because its 120Hz refresh rate supports smoother high-frame-rate play. The LG's 60Hz panel caps motion smoothness.
Which smart platform is easier to use?
It is close. LG's webOS 26 is clean and simple; Fire TV offers Alexa and a huge app library but shows more promotional content.
