I am considering purchasing Samsung's new 2021 The Frame TV in the 65" model. I have been reading reviews of the TV, as well as comments on this site, but the more I read the more confused I get about whether this would be a good choice. Any advice from people on here would be greatly appreciated. Here are the details of my situation:
I currently have the Samsung PN60F8500, the last of their 60" plasma TVs before they stopped making them. I still do love the way it looks but want to get a new TV as it doesn't have 4K capacity and I have started acquiring UHD discs. I use my TV pretty much solely for watching movies. I do not care about gaming or sports, and always turn off any motion smoothing, noise reduction etc. etc. The less the TV is "altering" the picture it is receiving the better. A TV that can successfully display 24fps content without problems is very important to me seeing as most of what I watch is in this format. I have an Oppo 4K blu-ray player connected to the TV.
I am very drawn to The Frame because of its thin profile and attractive appearance. I have ascertained it isn't exactly the "best" TV out there and think I am happy to sacrifice a little on the picture to gain its other benefits. My questions really are:
How much better than The Frame are other TVs at a similar price range such as LG's OLED gallery TV? Is The Frame a good TV for watching movies at 24fps? How does The Frame's picture compare with a late model plasma like the Samsung PN60F8500? How do it's viewing angles compare with something like the plasma?
Thanks anyone for any advice you can give!!
