If you prefer a television that doubles as an artistic piece for your room and you're on a tighter budget, the Samsung The Frame would suit you; it's designed to showcase art and photos with a customizable frame when not in use, but it requires wall mounting and doesn't stand out in gaming performance or viewing angles. The Hisense U8G, although more expensive, offers better overall picture quality and gaming experience with a higher refresh rate and more HDMI ports, but also has limited viewing angles which could be a drawback if you often watch TV from off-center positions. For bright rooms, both sets perform well, but Hisense has a slight edge. Choose the Samsung for budget-friendly wall art that can play TV and The Hisense for a higher-end home cinema and gaming experience at a higher price point. Give Feedback

CNN
Tobey Grumet | May 2023
"The biggest, and most jarring, difference is the revolutionary matte, anti-glare coating on the 2022’s display. Not only does it solve my daytime glare problem of being in a corner apartment, but it somehow adds texture to anything being displayed. The Frame is a home run for anyone looking to add fashion to their function."
