Samsung The Frame 85" 4K QLED TV vs TCL S4 65" 4K Roku TV

These are different tools. The Frame is a design piece: a matte, anti-glare QLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate that hangs nearly flush and shows art when idle. The TCL S4 is a plain, large-screen LED TV with a 60 Hz panel, no local dimming and no Bluetooth. Buy The Frame if the room, the wall and the look matter and you watch film, sport or games on a bright panel. Buy the TCL if you want the biggest screen for the least outlay and mainly stream shows. Owners rate The Frame higher (4.5 vs 4.3), but its 32-inch version draws complaints about a slow OS and a visible connection cord.

  • Choose The Frame if you want a TV that doubles as wall art, need a bright anti-glare screen with a 120 Hz panel for sport and gaming, or want flush mounting and swappable bezels.
  • Choose the TCL S4 if you want a large 4K screen for everyday streaming and are happy with a standard 60 Hz LED panel and the Roku interface.

What reviewers say

Samsung The Frame 85" 4K QLED TV

  • 4.5 / 59,700 ratings

Owners rate it highly for the design and Art Mode, which is why it averages 4.5 out of 5 across about 9,700 ratings. Complaints center on value: the art subscription, the price paid for the panel, and setup with the flush mount.

  • Art ModePraisedPeople like showing Art Store pieces and their own photos when the TV is off.
  • GlarePraisedThe matte finish is said to cut reflections in bright rooms.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bright room?
The Frame. Its matte, anti-glare QLED panel holds up better against window light, and it gets brighter with Quantum HDR. The TCL S4 has a glossy standard LED panel with no local dimming.
Which is better for gaming?
The Frame. Its 120 Hz refresh rate and Samsung Gaming Hub suit consoles and fast motion. The TCL S4 is limited to 60 Hz.
Which lasts longer?
Neither brand publishes a lifespan figure. The Frame has the sturdier build and a higher owner rating, but its 32-inch version has drawn reports of units failing to power on. The TCL S4 is a basic set with a large owner base and no standout reliability complaints.
Is The Frame worth stepping up to over the TCL?
Yes if the TV sits in a living room where looks count, or if you watch sport and games and want 120 Hz. If you mainly stream shows on a big screen, the TCL covers that at a fraction of the outlay.
Does the TCL S4 support Bluetooth?
No. It has Wi-Fi, Ethernet and AirPlay, but no Bluetooth, so wireless headphones need another route. The Frame has Bluetooth built in.
Can I use either without a cable box?
Yes. Both are smart TVs with built-in streaming apps. The Frame runs Tizen with Netflix and the Art Store; the TCL runs Roku TV with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO and free Roku channels.
