The Samsung Frame Series is a premium-priced option that generally costs more, offering better gaming performance and viewing experience in bright rooms. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is more budget-friendly, with a lower price tag but doesn't perform as well for gaming or viewing in bright environments. If premium gaming and bright room use are priorities and you're open to a higher expense, consider the Samsung Frame Series. If you want to save money and are less concerned about gaming performance and screen brightness in well-lit spaces, the Vizio MQ6 '23 may be a better choice. Give Feedback

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.

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 Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
