If you're looking for a more affordable option, the Hisense U6K costs less and offers a solid overall picture quality and generally good performance for movies and gaming. This might be appealing if you're budget-conscious and need a TV that provides a decent all-around experience. On the other hand, the Samsung Frame Series costs more, but it brings better gaming performance and has a more refined design that doubles as wall art when not in use. The Samsung Frame might be suitable if you treasure aesthetic appeal, enjoy gaming, and don't mind investing in a higher-end model. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K's stronger contrast and good local dimming capabilities make it well-suited for watching movies and cinematic TV, as it can produce deeper blacks and maintain detail in darker scenes. In contrast, the Samsung Frame Series struggles with local dimming and doesn't perform as well in maintaining black uniformity, affecting how movies and cinematic content appear, which is less ideal for those particular viewing experiences.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6K is fair for watching sports primarily because of its subpar motion processing and limited viewing angles, which can lead to motion blur and changes in the picture quality when viewed from the side. The Samsung Frame Series, while having better response times that help with motion clarity, also struggles with reflections handling and viewing angles, which may lead to a compromised sports viewing experience in bright rooms or from wider angles.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Frame Series boasts superior response time and input lag performance compared to the Hisense U6K, which makes it a better option for gaming where these factors are crucial for fast-paced action and competitive play. However, while the Samsung has the edge in these gaming-specific factors, the difference might also be influenced by the Frame Series' higher price point, as it typically incorporates more advanced technology for improved gameplay.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U6K and Samsung Frame Series both have impressive color performance straight out of the box, which enhances the vibrancy for cartoons and animations. While both TVs offer a wide color gamut, the Hisense U6K also has a very good color volume, which contributes to its ability to display a wide range of colors at different luminosities, important for animated content.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) and Samsung Frame Series (LCD) are both good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense U6K performs well with upscaling lower resolution content like standard TV programs, which is essential for viewing news and talk shows with clarity, and it delivers adequate colors out of the box, meaning less tweaking is needed for a good picture. In comparison, the Samsung Frame Series also excels in upscaling and provides bright and vibrant picture quality even in standard dynamic range content, making it suitable for similar content under different room lighting conditions.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Frame Series (LCD) to be good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Frame Series is better for bright rooms than the Hisense U6K because it has higher SDR brightness, which is crucial for overcoming ambient light, and better handling of reflections, which reduces the intensity of glare. Although both have fair HDR brightness which is important for high dynamic range content viewing, the difference in reflection handling and SDR brightness makes the Samsung Frame Series more suitable for well-lit environments. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut are also factors, with the Samsung having a slightly higher contrast, which helps maintain deep blacks and overall picture quality in brighter rooms.
