The Hisense U6H is typically much less expensive and offers good overall picture quality, better performance in dark rooms, and impressive upscaling for lower-resolution content. It's a cost-effective choice if you're on a budget but still want a quality experience for movies and general viewing.
The Samsung Frame Series, while typically much more expensive, offers a higher gaming performance and better viewing angles, which could be important if you have a wide seating arrangement. It also has a unique design that resembles a picture frame, making it a stylish addition to your room. However, it doesn't perform as well in dark rooms compared to the Hisense U6H.
Consider how much you value gaming, room design, and viewing conditions when making your choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H provides better watching experiences for movies and cinematic TV due to its local dimming feature, which enhances contrast and black uniformity, essential for dark scenes, whereas the Samsung Frame Series lacks local dimming, compromising these aspects. Both TVs offer good colors out of the box and color volume; however, the Hisense has slightly better gray uniformity, which is favorable for even background scenes, while both have limited viewing angles which can affect the picture when viewed from the side.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6H has a lower response time which can lead to more motion blur during fast sports, and its lack of motion processing means it doesn't handle fast movements as smoothly as the Samsung Frame Series which is better in this regard. However, while the Frame Series manages reflections well, making it suitable for well-lit rooms, both TVs offer limited viewing angles, which might result in reduced picture quality when viewed from the side.
