Our Verdict

Sony X93L/X93CL

Samsung The Frame 2024

The Sony X93L/X93CL is better than the Samsung The Frame 2024. The Sony has much better contrast due to its local dimming feature, so blacks are deeper on it, and they stay that way when bright highlights are on screen. The Sony also gets brighter overall, so it can display brighter highlights in HDR content and handles a bit more glare in a bright room while watching SDR content. On top of that, the Sony TV can display more vibrant, lifelike, and bright colors due to its wider color gamut and better color volume, and low-quality and low-resolution content looks better due to its better image processing.
