If cost is a primary concern and you want a stylish TV that doubles as wall art, the Samsung The Frame 2022 could be the way to go. However, while its performance is adequate for various content types, it may disappoint during gaming and isn't the best option for large viewing groups due to its poor viewing angle. On the other hand, the Sony A95L excels across the board with superior picture quality, especially in dark environments, and offers a standout gaming experience. It's also more versatile for bright rooms and has a wide viewing angle. Additionally, it has better sound quality and is adaptable with its stand for different setups, but these perks come at a higher cost. If you can invest more for a top-tier viewing experience, the Sony A95L would be the better choice. Give Feedback

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."
