Our Verdict
Samsung Q60T
LG NANO85 2020
The LG NANO85 2020 is a bit better than the Samsung Q60T, but their differences come down to their different panels. The LG has an IPS panel, so it has better viewing angles, while the Samsung has a VA panel, producing much deeper blacks. Besides that, the LG has better reflection handling and quicker response time, while the Samsung gets brighter and has better out-of-the-box color accuracy.
