The Samsung Frame Series is a stylish choice that integrates well with home decor, displaying art when not in use, and is suitable for a typical living room environment with good overall picture quality and motion processing. It's also wall-mount only, which might not suit everyone. On the other hand, the Hisense UX offers superior performance in bright rooms, better color and HDR capabilities, and a larger screen size which is great for movies and gaming, making it a better fit for a premium home theater experience. However, it comes at a higher price point and may not blend as seamlessly with your interior design. Consider the Hisense for its outstanding performance features and the Samsung Frame for its unique design and art display functionality. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX stands out for movies and cinematic TV with exceptional contrast, particularly effective local dimming, and outstanding black uniformity, which correlate to deep blacks and rich picture detail in dark scenes. In comparison, while the Samsung Frame Series also offers good contrast, the absence of local dimming and less impressive black uniformity means it might not render dark scenes as vividly or with as much depth.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense UX is ranked as very good in gaming because it has very good response time and input lag, which are critical for fast-paced games. The Samsung Frame Series, while also good for gaming, doesn't achieve the same level of responsiveness or reduced input lag as the Hisense UX, making it slightly less optimal for gaming.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and Hisense UX (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense UX has lower motion processing capabilities and a wider viewing angle, making it less ideal for fast-moving sports but better for a group viewing. In contrast, the Samsung Frame Series has better motion processing, which is beneficial for watching sports, but has a narrower viewing angle which could limit the viewing experience for those sitting off to the side. Both TVs manage reflections well but would be more challenged in very bright rooms or with direct light.
