If you prioritize gaming, the LG QNED90 offers slightly better performance than the Samsung Frame Series. However, for general content in bright rooms, both TVs are fairly comparable, with the LG pulling slightly ahead. The Samsung Frame Series boasts a higher contrast ratio, which is beneficial for movies and general viewing in darker environments, but its performance in a very bright room is not on par with the LG QNED90. For movies and series, the Samsung Frame has a unique design that doubles as wall art when not in use, which might appeal to those who prioritize aesthetics. On the downside, the Samsung Frame has lower performance in a dark room compared to the LG QNED90. Price-wise, the LG QNED90 is often somewhat less expensive. So, if cost is a significant factor, the LG might offer a better balance between performance and price. Give Feedback

The LG QNED90 (LCD) and Samsung Frame Series (LCD) are both only fair for movies & TV, though the LG QNED90 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The LG QNED90 has lower contrast and black uniformity, which are very important for movies and cinematic TV, leading to less deep blacks, while it offers a wider viewing angle, which is somewhat important. The Samsung Frame Series, on the other hand, delivers higher contrast and better black uniformity for more vivid dark scenes, but has a narrower viewing angle making it less suitable for off-center viewing.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and LG QNED90 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG QNED90 offers wider viewing angles, making it suitable for groups, but its reflection handling is only fair, which may be an issue in bright rooms. In contrast, while the Samsung Frame Series has better reflection handling which is advantageous in well-lit environments, its more limited viewing angles and response time, rated as fair, may not be ideal for fast-paced sports viewed from different positions in the room.
