The Samsung The Frame 2022 is the best TV to watch in bright environments. Probably the only modern model with a matte screen. It’s interesting to see if the image quality suffers greatly compared to models with a glossy screen. Is the image as faded and blurry as on computer monitors with a matte screen? Especially when playing lower definition and quality or older movies

Hey everybody! Thanks for touching on this in the review; I thought I could add some insight here as I’m one of the poor clods experiencing the issue (on a M50Q7-H1).
Best as I can tell, the issue has to do with sound coming into the TV via HDMI inputs: I’ve tested content on the native SMARTCAST app plus the apps on my PlayStation and Roku, which are plugged in via HDMI. The native version plays the audio perfectly–it’s only an issue when coming in through HDMI. I’ve tried different cables, plugging different devices into different ports, and watching the content with and without a soundbar, and the issue is consistent as long as it’s not coming in from another device.
At one point, Vizio sent a tech out to swap out the motherboard, then told me it was a defective unit and sent me a replacement; when the issue started happening on the replacement model (right out of the box), I was told it’s now a firmware issue (current version on the TV is 1.10.15.5-4; system update indicates that this is up-to-date).

Have the same issue with our M50Q7-H1. Very glad I found this review after spending a good amount of time adjusting audio output settings on my laptop.
Reassuring to know it’s not a technical issue, but really hoping Vizio fixes this issue in a future update.
