If you prioritize overall picture quality and performance in a bright room, the Sony X95K would be a better choice. It has a stronger contrast and local dimming for deep blacks, higher brightness for HDR content, better color accuracy, and performs better in bright environments. Additionally, it offers a more immersive sound experience with better speakers. On the other hand, the Samsung Frame Series has a unique design that doubles as wall art when not in use and is also a capable performer, especially for gaming, with lower input lag. It is usually somewhat less expensive, making it a value proposition if the aesthetics and gaming performance are your priorities and if you are looking for a more budget-friendly option. However, it won't deliver the same level of picture quality in dark rooms compared to the Sony X95K. Give Feedback

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Frame Series lacks local dimming, which can affect its contrast, black uniformity, and thus its ability to present movies and cinematic content in the most ideal light, particularly in dark scenes. The Sony X95K, on the other hand, comes with local dimming, enabling it to offer better contrast, deeper blacks, and a more immersive viewing experience for movies and TV, albeit generally at a higher price point.

While both TVs have similar abilities regarding contrast and color reproduction, these features are only somewhat important compared to the very important factors where the Sony prevails, making it the better choice for bright room viewing.
