Our Verdict

LG SM9000

Samsung The Frame 2019

The LG SM9000 and the Samsung The Frame 2019 have different panels, each with advantages and disadvantages. The LG has an IPS panel and delivers a more accurate image when viewed from the side. The Samsung, on the other hand, has a VA panel and can display deeper and more uniform blacks in a dark room. The Frame is packed with advanced gaming features, but the LG can handle the reflections of a bright room better.
