Our Verdict
Samsung The Frame 2024 QLED
TCL NXTFRAME QLED
The Samsung The Frame 2024 QLED is more expensive than the TCL NXTFRAME QLED, but it's also noticeably better. The Samsung is far brighter in HDR and SDR, delivering a more impactful viewing experience. It's also the most accurate of the two in HDR and SDR. While both TVs struggle with ambient sources of light, the Samsung's matte coating does a better job at reducing their impact than the TCL's. Overall, the Samsung definitely delivers a more impactful viewing experience, but at a premium.
