If you're looking for a TV that doubles as wall art and can display photos or art while not in use, the Samsung The Frame 2022 would be an appealing and budget-friendly choice, but keep in mind it may not be the best for gaming or watching in a room with wide seating due to its viewing angle. On the other hand, the Samsung Q70A has better gaming performance and a higher refresh rate which is great for action-packed content and sports, but it comes at a higher price and may not perform as well in bright rooms. Both TVs support HDR but have different strengths, with The Frame focused on aesthetics and the Q70A on performance. Give Feedback

How the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) and the Samsung Q70A (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
