Is 120 Hz worth it on this TV?

Yes if you play console games or watch sports. The 120 Hz panel gives smoother motion than 60 Hz sets, and the four HDMI ports let you keep a console and soundbar connected.

How does it compare with LG OLED?

OLED wins on contrast, with true blacks and per-pixel dimming. This NanoCell set is brighter in a sunlit room and costs far less, but dark-room viewing is its weak point.

Does it support HDR formats?

It accepts HDR content, but brightness is modest for the tier, so highlights look flatter than on brighter Mini LED or OLED models.

The TV, its stand, a remote and the power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Does it work with voice assistants?

Yes. It supports Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Siri, and CEC lets a connected device switch the TV on.

Is it good for gaming?

It is a reasonable pick for console gaming thanks to the 120 Hz panel and four HDMI ports, though serious players should check for variable refresh rate support on the exact model.

Our take on the LG NanoCell 4K UHD Smart TV 55-inch

The LG NanoCell 55-inch is an LED 4K TV using LG's NanoCell layer to widen color and cut glare at wide angles. Its standout is a 120 Hz panel with four HDMI ports, which suits consoles and sports better than most budget 60 Hz sets. It runs LG's webOS with Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri support and covers the major streaming apps. Against rivals, it sits below LG's OLED and Mini LED lines: blacks are grey in dark rooms and contrast is modest, so it fits bright rooms and mixed family use more than a dedicated home theater.
