If cost is a major factor, the LG NANO75 is the more budget-friendly choice compared to the Samsung Frame Series. However, the Samsung Frame Series delivers a superior viewing experience for general content, sports, and gaming. For a bright room, the Samsung Frame Series performs better, but if you watch a lot of content in darker environments, the LG might not satisfy as much. The Samsung Frame Series could also be a better fit if you're interested in a TV with a higher refresh rate, which is beneficial for gaming. Keep in mind that the Samsung Frame is also marketed as a piece of art when not in use, displaying art on the screen, which might be a factor if room aesthetics are important to you. Give Feedback

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75's lower contrast, lack of local dimming, and poor black uniformity limit its ability to deliver deep black scenes crucial for movies, while its fair colors out of the box and poor color volume affect the vibrancy and range of colors on screen. In contrast, the Samsung Frame Series, despite also lacking local dimming, offers better contrast and black uniformity for more defined dark scenes and a good color volume for richer and more varied colors, although with a narrower viewing angle that could affect the picture for off-center viewers.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Frame Series displays cartoons and animations very well due to its 'Very Good' score for colors out of the box and 'Good' for both color gamut and color volume, which translates to vibrant and accurate colors. On the other hand, the LG NANO75 is considered poor for this content because although its colors out of the box are 'Good', it only has a 'Fair' color gamut and a 'Poor' color volume, indicating less vibrant and less accurate color reproduction.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Frame Series is preferred for watching news, talk shows, and other programs due to its higher SDR brightness and better contrast, making it more suitable for well-lit environments and providing deeper blacks. While both TVs are comparable in upscaling quality, the LG NANO75 falls behind in out-of-the-box color accuracy and color gamut, meaning it may not reproduce colors as vibrantly as the Samsung Frame Series in a variety of content.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) has a price of $480 and the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) costs $798.
The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
For sports viewing, the LG NANO75 has a better viewing angle, making it easier for a group to watch without image quality loss at different angles, but it's fair on response time, which may result in slight motion blur during fast-paced action. Both handle reflections well, which is beneficial in bright rooms, and their gray uniformity is somewhat important to avoid distracting cloudy areas during sports with uniform color like a green football field.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Frame Series (LCD) to be only fair for gaming, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 (LCD) has a fair response time which may result in some motion blur during gaming, whereas the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) has a very good response time, allowing for crisp fast action. Both TVs have the highest rating for input lag, meaning they will respond quickly to gaming commands, but the higher refresh rate on the Samsung provides a smoother gaming experience compared to the LG NANO75's lower refresh rate.
