Our Verdict
Samsung Q60/Q60R QLED
Samsung The Frame 2019
The Samsung Q60R and the Samsung The Frame 2019 offer very similar performance. Their design, however, is very different. The Frame is designed to be wall-mounted, has the shape of a frame, and comes with the One Connect box that handles the cable connectivity, allowing for a clean install. The Q60R can be wall-mounted but not flush to the wall, so it can't deliver the impression of a frame as the Frame 2019 does.
