If your priority is aesthetics and you want a TV that doubles as a piece of art when not in use, the Samsung The Frame with its customizable frame and wall mount feature stands out, although it demands a higher price. On the other hand, the TCL Q6 offers excellent black uniformity, suggesting it’s a good pick for watching content with dark scenes. Both TVs have their strengths in a bright room, but if sound quality and using the TV as a computer monitor are important to you, the TCL Q6 supports features like Dolby Vision and HGiG which the Samsung does not, providing a better HDR experience. However, keep in mind that the Samsung offers a unique design that may appeal more if integrating with home décor is key for you. Give Feedback

How the Samsung The Frame 2022 (LCD) and the TCL Q6 (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."
"If you’re looking for a good overall viewing experience without spending a lot, the TCL Q6 fits the bill. With its good color reproduction, the image on the screen will do just fine, especially for HDR content."

About Samsung
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, holds the title of being the largest global TV vendor in terms of units sold. They offer a diverse lineup of TV products that cater to various budget ranges. A notable achievement in recent years is the development of Quantum Dots, a technology that enhances color reproduction, resulting in richer and more vibrant hues. Samsung TVs are well-regarded for their high manufacturing quality and user-friendly software, making them an excellent choice for consumers seeking an intuitive viewing experience.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
