The fov difference is because the lx100 has a 10.9mm lens (at the wide side) on a m43 sensor with a crop factor of 2.0, giving it a 35mm equivalent of 21.8.

The nx500 has a crop factor of 1.5. So you would need a 14mm (14.5,but that doesn't exist) to give you the same fov.

The crop factor on the LX100 is variable as it does not use the entirety of the 4/3 sensor, but is usually listed as 2.2x, not 2x. However, if you export RAW to the right RAW software it will give you very close to the full 21.8mm FOV, but very distorted. I'm estimating that I'm getting around 22mm out of the shot below, which is what I can usually get after mild distortion correction. However the sharpness differential is not quite a pronounced as I had expected. I know its only the kits lens, and if I got some primes I would probably see the differential I was looking for. Some more tests coming...
