If you appreciate aesthetics and want a TV that blends into your living space by displaying artwork when not in use, The Frame 2022 is designed with that purpose in mind; however, it doesn't include a stand and needs to be wall-mounted. On the other hand, the Q60A offers similar picture quality and performance but is better suited for gaming with its slightly lower input lag, making it more responsive for fast-paced games. Both TVs might not be the best choice for very bright rooms due to their limited brightness. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q60A (LCD) and Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) are both only fair for movies & TV.
The Samsung The Frame 2022 and the Samsung Q60A exhibit different levels of performance in key movie-watching aspects, where the former has slightly weaker local dimming which may affect its ability to produce deep blacks in dark scenes, but possesses better black uniformity, which is beneficial for night scenes. Both TVs have similar viewing angles which are not wide and may not be ideal if you plan to watch from the side, while their color performance out of the box and color volume are competent for movies and cinematic content, though not outstanding.

Tobey Grumet | May 2023
"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."

"The least expensive QLED is a solid choice for Samsung fans. Right out of the gate my eye was drawn to the Samsung. It is bright. The quantum dots let the Q60A produce far deeper, richer colors than the Vizio and TCL"
