If you are on a budget and prioritize overall value, the Samsung Q60A is a good option as it comes at a budget price and offers good picture quality in bright rooms, as well as being quite versatile for various content including news and cartoons. However, its performance in gaming is poor and it lacks advanced features like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. On the other hand, if you are willing to invest more for aesthetic appeal and additional features, the Samsung Frame Series has a unique design that allows it to double as a digital photo frame or art display and supports features like HLG and Dolby Vision. However, its picture quality and gaming performance are similar to those of the Q60A, and it also doesn’t come with a stand so it must be wall-mounted. Give Feedback

Geoffrey Morrison | June 2021
"The least expensive QLED is a solid choice for Samsung fans. Right out of the gate my eye was drawn to the Samsung. It is bright. The quantum dots let the Q60A produce far deeper, richer colors than the Vizio and TCL"
