Our Verdict
Samsung Q70C [Q70, Q70CD] QLED
Samsung The Frame 2024 QLED
The Samsung The Frame 2024 is better than the Samsung Q70C QLED. The Frame is better suited for a bright room due to its better SDR brightness and reflection handling. The Frame also has better image processing, so it does a better job of smoothing out low-quality content and upscaling low-resolution content. HDR content is a little more impactful on The Frame due to its better HDR brightness, and there's less banding in colors. However, the Q70C has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four ports, whereas The Frame only has it on one, so it's a bit more versatile if you own multiple high-bandwidth devices.
