Consider the Hisense UX if you desire a superior gaming and movie-watching experience with excellent color accuracy and brightness, especially in a dark room. It's also ideal for sports and animation enthusiasts, thanks to its high refresh rate and outstanding motion handling. However, it's pricier and doesn't offer the aesthetic appeal of the Samsung The Frame, which doubles as an art display and is more budget-friendly. The Samsung The Frame is a better fit for a well-lit room due to its better reflection handling, and it's a stylish choice for those who value the TV's appearance as a piece of decor. It's also more than adequate for casual viewing, news, and TV shows, despite its less impressive gaming performance and color gamut. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX offers better performance for movies and cinematic TV due to its superior contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, key factors which are very important for a good movie-watching experience; these features contribute to deeper blacks and more detailed dark scenes. In comparison, the Samsung The Frame 2022 doesn't match the Hisense UX in these areas, providing only fair performance due to its lack of local dimming and weaker contrast, leading to less impressive dark room performance.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX excels in gaming due to its very good response time and good input lag, paired with a 120Hz refresh rate, which allows for smoother motion and quicker gameplay feedback. In contrast, while the Samsung The Frame 2022 has a best-in-class input lag, its fair response time combined with a 60Hz refresh rate may result in less fluid motion, making it less suitable for fast-paced gaming.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense UX is excellent for watching cartoons and animation due to a combination of accurate colors straight out of the box and an expansive color gamut, ensuring vibrant and rich colors, while its color volume is also acclaimed as the best, indicating its capability to maintain those colors at a wide range of luminosity levels. In contrast, the Samsung The Frame 2022, though it has very good colors out of the box, falls short in both color gamut and color volume, implying that while colors are well represented, they might not be as vivid or consistent across different brightness levels.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) is good.

In comparison, the Samsung The Frame 2022 also performs well in bright environments, with very good SDR brightness and good HDR brightness, but it's not as equipped to reduce reflections as the Hisense UX.

How the Hisense UX (LCD) and the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
