Roku Plus Series 55" QLED Mini-LED TV vs LG Nano 4K UHD AI NU70 Smart TV

The Roku Plus Series is the stronger TV here. Its Mini-LED backlight with QLED and Dolby Vision produces deeper blacks and brighter highlights than the LG NU70's edge-lit LED panel, which tops out at HDR10 and HLG. The Roku also gives you four HDMI ports against two, plus Dolby Atmos audio and hands-free voice. The LG counters with the a7 Gen9 processor, solid upscaling of older content, and webOS with a large free channel library. Buy the Roku for picture quality and connections; buy the LG if you mainly watch cable and want strong upscaling on a simpler set.

• Choose the Roku Plus Series if you want the best picture for movies and streaming, with Mini-LED contrast, Dolby Vision and Atmos, and enough HDMI ports for a console, soundbar and streamer.
• Choose the LG NU70 if you watch a lot of standard and HD cable or broadcast and want the a7 processor's upscaling and webOS with its free channel lineup.
