If you're interested in a TV that serves as both a technology and design element, consider the Samsung Frame Series. It's styled like a frame to display art when not in use and must be wall-mounted. On the other hand, the Sony X77L is significantly less expensive and might suffice for general viewing, but it lacks the design focus and higher refresh rate the Frame Series offers. The Sony has voice commands functionality, which you may find convenient. In a bright room, the Samsung's VA panel usually offers better contrast than the Sony's IPS panel. Give Feedback

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Frame Series, with its higher refresh rate and very good response time, is likely to offer a smoother and more responsive gaming experience, reducing motion blur and making fast-paced action more clear. In contrast, the Sony X77L, with its lower refresh rate and poor response time, may lead to more noticeable blur and less responsive gaming, which can be detrimental in fast-moving games.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Frame Series displays cartoons and animation with vibrant and accurate colors straight out of the box and has a wide color gamut which makes colors pop, which is essential for animated content. On the other hand, the Sony X77L, while still providing good color accuracy, has a less impressive color gamut, which means that it won't be able to show as wide a range of colors, making the viewing experience for animations fair compared to the Samsung.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Frame Series excels in upscaling lower resolution content and has very good SDR brightness, making it stand out for news and TV programs viewing in various lighting conditions; the contrast is also high, which benefits overall picture quality. In comparison, the Sony X77L has good SDR brightness but struggles with contrast and therefore may not deliver as deep blacks or pop as the Samsung model, although it maintains very good colors out of the box, which enhances the viewing experience without the need for immediate adjustments.

The Sony X77L (LCD) and Samsung Frame Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Frame Series, having better response time and better handling of reflections, offers a smoother experience for fast-moving sports but struggles with viewing angles due to its screen technology. Conversely, the Sony X77L, while providing wider viewing angles suitable for group watching, falls short with slower response times and less efficient motion processing, which can affect the clarity of fast-paced games. Both TVs exhibit similar gray uniformity, impacting the display of sports fields with subtle color variation.
