If you're on a budget, the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) offers good overall picture quality and bright room performance at a more affordable price, doubling as digital art when not in use, though its gaming performance and viewing angles are limited. On the other hand, if you're looking for premium experience and engage in a lot of gaming or movie watching, the Samsung S90C (OLED) might justify its higher cost with excellent picture quality, particularly in dark rooms, supreme gaming features with low input lag and quick response time, and wide viewing angles, but it may be less ideal for extremely bright rooms due to its screen type.

"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."
"Samsung S90C is the company's attempt at making its QD-OLED technology more affordable. You get high-end pictures, great processing, top gaming tech, and a sharp design."
