If you're interested in a television that blends into your home decor and displays art or photos when not in use, the Samsung The Frame 2022 is designed with a customizable frame for that purpose and requires wall mounting. However, if gaming is a priority, the TCL Q7 offers a higher refresh rate and better gaming features, which might be more appealing. The Samsung is a better choice for bright rooms while the TCL's superior black uniformity makes it more suited for darker environments. Additionally, the TCL has more HDMI ports, which could be useful if you have multiple devices to connect. Keep in mind that neither of these TVs have great speakers, so you might consider external sound options regardless of your 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."

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.
