If you're looking for a TV that doubles as a decorative piece and can display art or photos while not in use, consider the Samsung The Frame 2022. It is designed to be wall-mounted and comes with customizable frames but does not include a traditional stand. The picture quality is overall good for various contents, especially in bright rooms, but it might not be the best choice for gaming due to its poor gaming score. On the other hand, the Samsung CU8000 is less expensive, but the lower price reflects in its overall quality, performing poorly in most areas including picture quality and sports content, and it's not ideal for bright room usage. If budget is a concern and you're okay with a basic TV experience, the CU8000 could fit your needs, but if you're interested in a more unique design and better performance in brighter spaces, The Frame 2022 might be worthwhile despite the higher cost.

CNN

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."
