Disappointing that after spending so much on a special art TV, Samsung want more money for each piece of artwork, or a monthly fee. Samsung are discouraging third-party art collections by making it difficult to upload and display your own collections. Very limited options. We also think, even though it’s available in large sizes of a similar caliber, The Frame TV is the perfect second-room TV thanks to its combination of great picture quality and ability to blend in with its surroundings where a large TV screen might otherwise be unsightly.

While some QLED panels can output thousands of nits brightness (important for illuminating the wider color gamut in HDR), The Frame is a bit dim by comparison, at only a few hundred. This is fine for everyday use—you certainly won’t need the Mona Lisa dazzling you at 2,000 nits —but it means the picture isn’t quite as impactful as some other Samsung TVs. We’re told by a Samsung rep that Art Mode uses around 30% of the power that streaming a movie on Netflix would, meaning it’s not as eco-friendly as simply turning the TV off, but is a good option for when you’re around the house a lot or having company over. It's worth mentioning that, yes, the Frame TV offers genuinely great image quality, especially compared to its predecessors. But you’re paying a premium for the design here, rather than the absolute heights of image and sound quality that a similar price tag might get you elsewhere, even within Samsung’s non-Frame range.

The Frame TV is as much a statement piece of interior design as it is a standard television with its Art Mode and colorful bezel framing options. So if style is important to you, this is a solid choice. It'll also blend in with your decor thanks to the variety in sizing and coloring that'll help you match it to any home— its tidy OneConnect box helps matters too. We uploaded the latest brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test.

The Frame (2020) was also one of the first Samsung TVs to feature the OneConnect box: a sleek cabling solution that outsources power, HDMI, USB ports and the like to a separate piece of hardware, to prevent numerous wires ruining the clean and classy look of your television. It’s a brilliant addition, especially here where the aesthetic is so crucial. When Art Mode is on, The Frame TV adapts to your surroundings so you can appreciate art in any light – when you need it. When you’re in the room, the Motion Sensor detects your presence and automatically turns the TV screen on, so you can enjoy your favourite art while you’re there. When you leave, it turns off into standby mode – so your TV is saving energy when you're not using it. Plus, the Brightness Sensor detects the ambient light and automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness and colour tone to perfectly match a traditional art piece. So whether it’s day or night, you can see your art how it was meant to be seen.* Measured against Unified Glare Rating (UGR) testing standard, certified as glare-free (reflection, discomfort and disability glare) by UL. No motion sensor (but if you have other sensors you might get it to work using SmartThings Routines). Beautiful Display spoilt by fat cable and bad UI The hardware is excellent (apart from the fat grey cable). The software needs a lot of work - hopefully it will improve over time. The Art TV features are disappointingly limited.The app selection is customizable, too, meaning you can pin, delete, and rearrange what’s on show—so if you want Disney Plus ahead of Netflix, Rakuten TV between YouTube and Apple TV, or otherwise, that’s all right with The Frame. We might have expected a more streamlined or distinct layout, given the design focus of The Frame, but there really isn’t that much that could be improved (aside from the rather untidy Samsung TV Plus app, which is permanently half-visible at the bottom of the home screen, and a bit of an eye-sore). Make a statement with a super slim TV that always looks beautiful. Designed to look just like a picture frame, Samsung’s The Frame TV is the perfect finishing touch to elevate any room in your home. A TV that can be endlessly transformed to reflect your taste – and refresh your everyday space. With over 40 interchangeable bezel styles, it’s never been easier to breathe new life into your space, whenever the mood strikes*. This elegantly minimal TV with tidy cables even hangs flush to the wall, so it'll blend beautifully with your home. A masterpiece in its own right, The Frame is possibly the only TV you'll want to watch even when it's off. use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity. Skin tones aren’t always color-accurate, though—especially for non-white faces—and we found ourselves repeatedly switching between picture settings to try and amend this. When watching Mindy Kaling’s Netflix show Never Have I Ever, we found the default Standard setting gave the predominantly Indian cast a rather reddish tinge, with Cinema mode jumping to a slight green tint instead. It’s a slight issue, but disappointing nonetheless. Samsung The Frame TV (2020): audio performance

Motion is highly smooth, too, with the action sequences in Scott Pilgrim vs The World looking as polished as we hoped, whether skateboards were raining down on the hero’s head or swords and hammers were swinging across the screen. The Frame automatically uses a Picture Clarity mode to aid with this, though we found motion entirely passable even without it.

Tizen makes use of a straightforward row of apps and services—which overlays over whatever app or content you currently have playing on the television—with a second content row that pops up above whatever app you’ve selected containing the programming available within it.We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for four months in our Accelerated Longevity Test.
