Design and display

OnePlus TV comes with an impressive 95.7% screen-to-body ratio with bare minimum bezels. The back panel has Carbon Fiber-finish and is held by a single stand with oval shaped base with chrome finish. Another highlight of OnePlus TV 55 Q1 Pro is the sliding soundbar.

OnePlus TV sports a 55-inch 4K QLED display. The screen is powered by a Gamma Color Magic processor for better visual experience. OnePlus TV is also one of the first TVs to offer a colour gamut of NTSC 120. The Gamma Color Magic chip is powered by MEMC, de-contour, noise cancellation, dynamic contrast, colour accuracy, and Super Resolution.

Samsung's smart TV lives up to 'The Frame' moniker with super flat display. The Frame delivers "colour volume" of 100% which is said to deliver richer and realistic colours. Like OnePlus TV, you can also customise the wallpaper on Samsung smart TV. The Frame offers access to more than 1,000 artworks that can be set as screensaver.

Samsung The Frame QLED TV has a 55-inch 4K resolution with HDR 10+ support, Quantum processor 4K, Quantum HDR 4X, UHD dimming, 200 motion rate, contrast enhancer, 3,000 picture quality index, and auto motion plus.
