If budget is a priority and you appreciate unique design features like the ability to display art, the Samsung The Frame 2022 offers a good picture quality and is suited for bright rooms, but it's not ideal for gaming or varied viewing angles and requires wall mounting due to lack of a stand. Conversely, the Samsung QN85B is pricier but excels in bright room performance and offers very good gaming experience, a higher refresh rate for smoother motion, and a better sound system, making it a more versatile choice, especially for mixed usage such as movies and sports in well-lit spaces.

How the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) and the Samsung QN85B (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."
"Particularly key to this is the fact that black levels are unusually good, on a level we haven’t seen from any IPS TV before. Build quality is impressive too, with a gleaming silver metallic frame and stand, and enough heft to suggest plenty of quality innards. High dynamic range content jumps off the screen with enough luminosity and intensity to really sell what makes HDR special."
