The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Frame Series has lower motion processing capabilities and worse handling of reflections compared to the Sony X93L, meaning that fast-moving sports scenes may appear blurrier and reflections on the screen could be more distracting when watching sports on the Samsung. Additionally, the Sony offers a wider viewing angle and greater response time, which makes fast-moving images crisper and ensures a better viewing experience from different seating positions.
