The Hisense U7G is typically much less expensive than the Samsung Frame Series, but both are 65-inch LCD TVs. The Hisense U7G provides a better experience for gaming with quicker response time and lower input lag. It also performs slightly better in bright rooms. However, the Samsung Frame Series, while more expensive, has a unique design that doubles as wall art when not in use. It is a great choice for casual TV shows, news, and reality TV, while the Hisense U7G is better for movies and sports. Neither TV is ideal for very bright or very dark rooms. Both TVs support HDR but the Hisense has additional Dolby Vision support. The sound quality of the Samsung Frame is better given its higher speaker power; however, neither has great built-in speakers, so consider a separate sound system for either one. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7G boasts better local dimming, which improves contrast and black uniformity, making it more favorable for movies and cinematic TV. However, the Samsung Frame Series, despite its stylish design, lacks local dimming capabilities, which can result in lower contrast and weaker black uniformity, undermining the viewing experience for movies and cinematic content.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7G has good response time and motion processing, which are crucial for sports, but its fair reflections handling and narrow viewing angles can be limiting in bright rooms or when viewing from the side. On the other hand, the Samsung Frame Series offers very good response time and better handling of reflections, but it also suffers from limited viewing angles, which may affect the viewing experience in larger groups or wide living spaces.
