The Samsung Frame Series is less expensive and designed to blend into your home decor, doubling as a digital art display when not in use; however, it must be wall-mounted as it doesn't include a stand. The Sony X95L is typically more expensive and provides a brighter picture and better contrast, which makes it more suitable for brightly lit rooms and offers versatility in stand positioning, including the option to accommodate a soundbar. If budget is a priority and you want a TV that complements your room's aesthetic, opt for the Samsung. If superior picture quality and flexibility in setup are more important, consider the Sony.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L outperforms the Samsung Frame Series when watching sports mainly because it has better motion processing and response time, leading to smoother action and less blur during fast movements. Additionally, the Sony X95L has superior reflection handling which is important in brightly lit environments, and wider viewing angles which maintain picture quality for viewers sitting off to the side.
