The Samsung Frame Series is a stylish choice that doubles as an art display, making it a conversation piece in your room. It's good for gaming and watching movies, and its picture quality is solid, especially in darker environments. However, it struggles in bright rooms due to its poor reflections handling and average brightness. It's also not the best for sports or bright room viewing. The Frame is designed to be wall-mounted, which saves space but requires consideration for placement. On the other hand, the Hisense UX offers superior picture quality with excellent contrast and brightness, making it ideal for bright rooms and delivering a top-notch experience for movies and gaming. It also has better viewing angles and local dimming, which enhances the dark scene performance. While it's more expensive, you're paying for a larger screen and a more advanced backlight system that improves the overall viewing experience. However, its sound quality is only average, and like the Frame, it's not the best for watching sports. In summary, choose the Samsung Frame if style, space-saving, and decent all-around performance in a moderately priced package are your priorities, and you mostly watch in controlled lighting conditions. Opt for the Hisense UX if you want a larger, brighter screen with superior picture quality and are willing to invest more for that premium viewing experience, potentially upgrading the sound system separately.

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.
