Our Verdict

Samsung NU7300

Samsung The Frame 2018

The Samsung The Frame 2018 is a bit better than the Samsung NU7300. HDR content looks better on The Frame, as it can display a wide color gamut, and has better color volume. The Frame also has much better motion handling, with a faster response time and FreeSync support. The Frame can also remove judder from all 24p sources.
