The Samsung Frame Series is designed to blend with your home decor and acts as a piece of art when not in use, perfect for those valuing aesthetics and willing to invest more; however, it requires wall mounting, which might be a constraint. Although it's more expensive than the Q60B, if you frequently use your TV in a bright room, the Frame Series' superior reflection handling will be beneficial. For the more budget-conscious who still want good picture quality for a range of content, the Q60B offers a solid choice, although with some shortcomings in handling reflections compared to the Frame Series.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Frame Series and Samsung Q60B both have fair performance when watching sports due to their response time and motion processing which are not optimal for fast-moving scenes, and both also struggle with reflections which can hinder viewability during sports games. The Frame Series has a slight edge with better viewing angles and more uniform gray presentation, which contributes to a slightly more consistent picture during sports events, unlike the Samsung Q60B which has poorer viewing angles and less uniform grays.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Samsung Frame Series (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Samsung Frame Series and Q60B are both good for watching cartoons and animation because they offer pleasing color reproduction straight out of the box and cover a wide range of colors. While both have similarly good color gamuts which is very important for vibrant cartoon visuals, the Frame Series edges out with slightly better color volume and gray uniformity making it more suitable for nuanced shades, which is somewhat important for animation viewing.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Samsung Frame Series (LCD) are both good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Samsung Frame Series excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and has commendable SDR brightness, making it suitable for viewing news and talk shows, especially in well-lit environments. Meanwhile, the Samsung Q60B, with its capable upscaling and SDR brightness plus good colors out of the box and a wide color gamut, provides a vivid and clear viewing experience for similar content, although its performance is slightly reduced in darker scenes due to less effective local dimming.

How the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and the Samsung Q60B (LCD) compare to other TVs
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
