Nano96 : Remarkable 8K TV with a striking design"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Every year we come across more advanced televisions that long ago we would not even have imagined existed.\u00a0A brand that is constantly developing new models is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LG<\/a>\u00a0, and this time they present us with a really interesting television in many aspects.\u00a0We talk more specifically about the LG Nano96.<\/p>\n<p>This equipment has given a lot to talk about, since it seems to be perfect for the most demanding users, however, we must mention that it is not a unique model, since it will also have some negative points.\u00a0However, the LG Nano96\u00a0has the exact ingredients to meet the highest expectations.<\/p>\n<h2>Exterior design of the LG Nano96<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-79240 size-full lazyloaded\" title=\"We have a different design that seeks to maintain its good appearance at all times\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/L2-21.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-79240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We have a different design that seeks to maintain its good appearance at all times<\/p>\n<p>It was to be expected that the\u00a0LG 65NANO96 will\u00a0present a striking design, which ends up pleasing us a lot due to its more modern construction that gives it a different style than what we are used to seeing.\u00a0First of all,\u00a0we find an ideal size for rooms\u00a0or\u00a0large rooms\u00a0, since we are talking about 65 inches.<\/p>\n<p>It is offered in a\u00a0quite remarkable\u00a0Dark Steel\u00a0color\u00a0, in addition, its front gives us thin bezels that will give the TV more elegance no matter where we see it from.\u00a0This achieves that the screen has a much greater useful space\u00a0, therefore, the content that we see will be reproduced in a better way without any hindrance.<\/p>\n<p>It has a central support that gives it the appearance of a monitor, it offers us good stability regardless of the surface where it is placed.\u00a0Although we prefer to hang it on the wall to fully receive its beauty\u00a0.\u00a0The rear part gives us a clean construction that orders the connector box so that the cables do not get in the way.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>We will have the necessary connectors for a good experience, yes, surely ports with better versions could be added, especially for the type of television that we are analyzing.\u00a0Here we find four\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs\u00a0that will allow us to connect different devices and send their signal to the television.\u00a0Nor can we ignore its three\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0ports\u00a0that among its greatest benefits we have the option to record.<\/p>\n<p>There are other physical connections that also become important at certain times and depending on the type of use that we are going to give the television.\u00a0Here we are going to find its Ethernet port, its satellite input, its audio output and its antenna.\u00a0In the specifications table we find the different tuners that are available.\u00a0In the wireless section there will be no problem, since we have\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0,\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0and\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h2>Image quality and functions in general of the LG Nano96<\/h2>\n<p>Without a doubt, the most important thing about the\u00a0LG 65NANO966PA\u00a0is its image quality that seeks to give us an experience like never seen before.\u00a0In this case we have an 8K resolution that gives us four times more power than 4K, therefore,\u00a0in theory we should enjoy more detailed images that translate into greater realism\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>If we look for a disadvantage in this section, we will find that its panel is Direct LED, which may seem a bit counterproductive,\u00a0since normally it gives us a little poor backlighting\u00a0, especially in very dark or bright environments.\u00a0Considering this we must look for a different and better placement.<\/p>\n<p>In this case we have the benefit of receiving different technologies that will improve our experience.\u00a0Among the most important we come across\u00a0AI Picture Pro\u00a0,\u00a0Advanced Color Enhancer\u00a0and\u00a0Nano Color\u00a0that will give us a 100% color volume, therefore, we are going to enjoy more vivid and intense colors with much deeper details.<\/p>\n<p>Contrast also receives an incredible improvement thanks to the\u00a0Advanced Contrast Enhancer\u00a0and\u00a0Ultra Luminance Pro functions\u00a0that will put it in a sharper and more precise state, in addition, the brightness is also improved a lot.\u00a0For a good movie watching experience we have support for\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0,\u00a0HDR10 Pro\u00a0and\u00a0HLG Pro\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>We received an acceptable audio quality which we think could be even better, however we cannot complain too much about this.\u00a0The first thing we see is that there are two speakers with a power of 20W\u00a0, likewise, there are two subwoofers of the same quality.\u00a0With this we will receive sufficient experience at all times.<\/p>\n<p>And to complement this we have also found an interesting number of technologies that are going to greatly improve the quality that we already have.\u00a0Here we have very interesting options such as\u00a0AI Sound Pro\u00a0,\u00a0Clear Voice Pro\u00a0,\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0and\u00a0LG Sound Sync\u00a0that will give us a fairly immersive and clean experience no matter what.<\/p>\n<h2>LG Nano96 software review \/ Smart TV and more<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-79241 size-full lazyloaded\" title=\"We have an excellent system that offers us very interesting things for your entertainment\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/L3-21.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-79241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We have an excellent system that offers us very interesting things for your entertainment<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0LG NanoCell 65NANO966PA\u00a0equips the latest version of the webOS system, therefore, we are going to enjoy all the new benefits that have been included.\u00a0The former are noticeable in optimization\u00a0and\u00a0security\u00a0, since we now have a more fluid and intuitive platform that will completely facilitate the use of all its functions.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, we are going to find a fairly extensive catalog of applications that adds quite popular options such as\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0,\u00a0YouTube\u00a0,\u00a0HBO\u00a0,\u00a0Disney +\u00a0,\u00a0Movistar\u00a0and\u00a0Apple TV\u00a0.\u00a0Obviously there will be many more applications to choose from, however, with these we have a large catalog of movies and series.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0LG 65NANO96\u00a0has compatibility with\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0and\u00a0Alexa\u00a0that will allow us to control and make use of some functions using only our voice.\u00a0Nor should we forget that it works with\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2,\u00a0which offers us the possibility of transmitting content from an iPhone or iPad with a fairly high efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><a
