The Samsung The Frame 2022 is a more budget-friendly option compared to the Sony X95J. It is a viable choice if you are looking for a TV that excels in providing a good experience for watching news, talk shows, and reality TV, as well as cartoons and animation. However, it may not perform as well in a dark room. On the other hand, the Sony X95J, while at a premium price, offers significantly better overall picture quality along with superior performance for gaming, watching sports, and use in dark rooms. Also, the Sony has a higher picture quality for movies and series, a wider viewing angle, better motion processing, and supports more advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos. If value for money is a priority and your viewing is more casual, The Samsung The Frame 2022 could be suitable. But for those seeking a high-quality viewing experience for varied content, especially in dark environments or for gaming, the Sony X95J is the better option. Additionally, the Sony X95J would be a better fit for a bright room due to its higher bright-room performance. Keep in mind that the Sony model also offers a better sound quality and more HDMI ports, which could be important if you have many devices to connect. 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."
