Excellent tv. Honestly, it was not that bad to install. I saw a few reviews and it was actually easier than I thought. Watch a few installation videos to get an idea. The best tip I used was to get and use toggle bolt’s for drywall installation. The anchors provided in the hardware kit are for concrete/Brick installation. Instead of one single mounting bracket, there are two mounting brackets. Each bracket uses four screws. For my installation, half were in studs and half were drywall. Therefore I needed four toggle bolt sets.I made the Frame for around $50 vs buying one for $600. I cut the crown molding 15 feet for four-inch molding) using a hand saw and miter box. That sucked a little. If you have the right power tools, you can make short work of it. It takes extreme precision. At the end of the day, buying a frame may be favorable for most people. I’m glad I made it myself — it was a nice project. The Frame covers the sensors (light/motion) but it’s not an issue with my setup. It doesn’t interfere with the remote function.It works great. The connected apps are awesome. SamsungTV Plus is wonderful.We were going to forego having a TV on our main level because we didn’t want to cheapen the look of our home. This truly makes your tv part of the décor.The tv functions are amazing.Complaint: they should allow a motion adapter and/or build a second one in the oneConnect box.

I don’t think I can’t say much more that hasn’t already been said. Aesthetically, when the TV is off it blends right into the room as piece of art hanging on the wall. With a single thin cable running from the TV to a cabinet where we have all the peripherals neatly tucked away. The TV performs great. I have my 65 inch Frame TV paired with Samsung HW-Q70T soundbar with Q-Symphony enabled ( that means sound comes out both the TV speakers and sounder ) working flawlessly. I mention this as Samsung doesn’t mention The Frame (2021) as a TV that supports Q-Symphony but it does. You just need to match it with Q series soundbar ( and make sure both are connected to WIFI and they are updated latest firmware ).Some of the energy saving features I disabled as I find that TV dims way too much dark lighting. This is a bit of personal preference of mine but if you feel the same you can disable some of the energy saving features or set to your liking.I will add that while many of you complaints about the TV mount and a lack of wall template ( for drilling your holes. It appears that Samsung heard you. I just receive my TV a couple of weeks ago and it did come with a paper wall template that you can tape to the wall before drilling your holes. I also had a soundbar to install along with a PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xfinity, and a Apple TV. So setup took a couple of hours.

I had a 17 year old 42″ Panasonic flat screen television that I had been threatening to replace for years, so when this set went on sale on Prime day, I jumped on it. I was not aware of the “Frame TV” concept, even though it had been out for years, but I admit that it was the biggest selling point for buying this set. Who wouldn’t want a TV that turned into wall art when it was turned off?My old TV was hung above the fireplace, so I had a limited amount of space available for the new set. I decided on the 50 inch, and now, in hindsight, I probably could have gone a little bigger, but I didn’t want the new tv to overwhelm the room. We removed the old set (which weighed a ton, and took two people) and took down the old bracket so we had a clean wall to work with. All of the old wires to the Panasonic were hidden inside the wall, and I was hoping we could use the same pathway for the new tv. We couldn’t. The cord going from the One Box (which powers the tv) to the set has rather large connectors on each end which would not fit inside the conduit inside the wall. So, our wires would have to be run in a wire mold (my only dislike). The hanging bracket for the tv is split, which is kind of a pain, but there is a template you can use and if you are lucky, you can hit a stud on each side. Not that you would need it, because this tv is so light that you can use toggle bolts to hang it and it would be just fine. Once the brackets are on the wall, and you install two clips on the back side of the set, you lift if up and “hang” it just like a picture. Easy peasy.The set itself looks just like a very large picture frame when the tv is off. It comes pre-loaded with a few pieces of artwork, and the offer to buy into a Samsung app that gives you access to lots more artwork. You also have the option to load your own photos onto the One Box, which is what I did. I have loaded over 100 photos so far, they all look stunning on the tv. You can also choose to individualize each photo’s mat size and color, and set up either a solitary photo or a slide show with several different time intervals.Now, for the tv picture. Did I say “stunning”? Yes, I did. The new 4K has amazing color and picture clarity. It looks pretty darn close to 3D, if you ask me. My husband walks into the room when I am watching tv, stands there for a moment watching, and always says, “What a great picture”! I couldn’t agree more.All in all, I have almost no complaints about this television. My only one is that I still need my DirecTV remote to access certain features that you can’t control with the Samsung remote, but that’s just being picky. Can you tell I really LOVE this television? Yes, I think you can.

The tv has a beautiful picture, there is no denying that. & when you turn it off, it becomes your favorite work of art. I love the slim profile, & it is the mount that makes that possible. There is a template included now which I believe was not in earlier boxes, my husband had no issues installing the tv at an appropriate level. We have not had a Frame previously so I can not compare to prior models installs. I do not like Samsung’s interface compared to my other televisions, it seems a bit bloated. Lots of unnecessary clicking & back & forth to get where you need to go. The remote needs improvement. I love the solar cell charging aspect but the volume & channel buttons have sharp, uncomfortable edges. & for some reason the durability of the finish is not very good either, it is scratched & we have only had it a couple of weeks. Bezels for this size (55”) are $150, which is a bit silly, but 3rd party are twice that. I believe it definitely needs an added bezel for the full Frame look, so be willing to fork over the extra cash. No need for the art subscription with the SmartThings app. We purchased our art off of Etsy.

I saw the negative reviews related to the wall-mounting, which I found relatively easy. You’ll want to measure the actual TV relative to the template, as the template was a bit narrower than the TV, and the top edge of the two brackets will be roughly 1 1/4″ below where the top of the tv will fall, but it was all intuitive enough, and I appreciate that the TV can be adjusted once hung, in case you miss 100% level with the brackets.I paid for the year of art, which is fun for my family and amounts to a pandemic-era art education, and I generally thought the built-in sound was decent for what it is. The picture is sharp. I can tell the QLED isn’t really matching the blacks of my LG OLED, but then I didn’t expect it would. Bought this for the features and appearance, not a state-of-the art TV panel. A provisional 5 stars, which I’ll revisit after a few months. For day-1, good show!

If you are concerned about the 2021 Version, then read this review.This TV looks awesome and stands out above the fireplace perfectly. I had my doubts as to whether it was worth the cost, but it truly does look like a piece of art. This model is thinner than typical TVs and mounts closer to the wall. We installed the 50-inch version of the TV. The One-Box is completely hidden inside of the cabinets and the one connect cable was run through the wall.If you are willing to take your time and measure carefully, the installation is not difficult. The instructions include a diagram showing the exact spacings of the mounting brackets (attached). As long as you can read a diagram and mark up the wall carefully, it’s straight forward process. I marked up the entire area with masking tape and I even taped the brackets to the wall before I drilled the holes.We also read that the included screws don’t work well, but we had no issues with the screws . I used the largest Philips head driver I could and drove it into the wall with a drill without stopping. It worked fine. Please keep in mind we had to install in brick, which is more difficult than drywall. The mount is actually quite clever when it is installed. It allows you to level the TV with easy adjustments. I was impressed with how well it worked.If you want a TV that stands out and doesn’t “look” like a TV, then this version of the Frame is worth the money.

Nice TV with great picture from straight on. Viewing angle is not as good as my old plasma this replaces. Wish they would offer this TV with the latest panel. Art mode is nice but clunky (you can’t put mats/shadow box on multiple pictures at once, you can’t have the pictures automatically go into slideshow mode when you power down). The apps and interface are fast and responsive. Overall I’m satisfied with the purchase.

Samsung frame does exactly as it’s intended! I read the reviews about how difficult it was to Mount so I had someone from task rabbit Mount it for me- he had no issues and figured it out on his own. I have been busy finding high res art from the met museum, Google arts and culture etc all for free! Downloaded files to a USB and saved to the tv. The frame tv will customize a matte to wrap around each painting regardless of the dimensions and the matte colors can be changed. Artwork can be set to shuffle , and rotates once every three minutes (or five , ten, fifteen etc) minutes. Love this feature. There is a box that must be connected to the tv and I have hidden that in the small credenza in my living room (beneath my patron lol) so it’s not an eyesore by any means. It’s obviously expensive for a tv (65” can be purchased for $500 nowadays) but I hate having a huge black rectangle on my wall. Worth the premium if you want a nice look and feel to the room . As long as the tv detects motion it will turn on, and adjust lighting via sensor so it’s not a glowing tv but dim like real art .. on a sunny day it can pass as art. On cloudy day / evening it does glow slightly but I’m fine with that! Tv has 6 GB of storage so start collecting art!

I love how it fools our visitors into thinking it’s a picture frame and not a TV. It is definitely worth it and it has its own Samsung TV channels for free, it gives you options to choose the streaming channels etc. I am not a TV expert but if you like some art pictures in your living room vs a black box, this is it.The only con for me is the remote. While it was great to keep it small, the buttons for the channel guide and volume are combined it took a while for me to get used to it. 🙂🙃

Overall nice tv! Sharing my install story as to how I hid the cables and got the tv mounted. Hope it helps someone else.Installation: I had a hard time finding the install instructions for this 2021 model, which I wanted to see BEFORE buying to get my wall construction right. I’ve posted a picture of them here hoping it helps someone else ahead of time – see tv markup on top w/ letters that correspond to measurements in the table directly below it (right side is inches).I despise cables so decided to put a Chief (#PAC525FC) in-wall storage box into the drywall between studs with an outlet inside it; see picture. This worked out nicely and fits the OneConnect box perfectly (which is what everything connects too – HDMI, power, antenna, and other cables). The OneConnect box then has a thin cable that runs to the back of the tv allowing it to sit flush on the wall.I ran my HDMI and antenna cables behind the wall down to an outlet directly below the in-wall Chief box that has inputs for such connections (see lower outlet cut-out in photo). I bought such an outlet off AMZN as well for <$20. So my Xbox and cable box now simply plug directly into the wall.Mounting of the tv is a little silly as it’s 2 mounts holding the tv vs. 1 single in the middle. Because of the distance between the mounts (roughly 27-3/16” apart for my 50” tv) you likely won’t hit a stud for BOTH of the brackets. Because I had the wall open for the Chief box, I added 2x6’s between my studs so the mounting brackets would go into those after drywall was up. Due to ductwork in the wall my right-side tv mounting bracket overlapped by in-wall box (see photo) but this did NOT interfere with placing the OneConnect box and cables within it. The supplied screws worked perfect for the brackets. Can’t speak to the provided red drywall toggles.Install 1 mount then using a level, mark where the other one should go. Then when you hang your tv it should also be level (mine was). The instructions (more like hieroglyphics as another reviewer said) show “adjustments” can be made once the tv is hung-up, but I couldn’t figure out how that was possible. Again, if your mounts are level and straight in line you don’t have to worry about it.Picture quality + apps: Coming from a 10-year old tv this one is great. Built in apps (Disney+, AppleTV+, NFLX, AMZN, Hulu, etc.), Bluetooth sound to headphones, and the Art mode is nice when not watching anything. You can definitely tell it’s a tv with certain free artwork provided, but others are quite good looking and blend in seamlessly on the wall. Colors and motion are good with tv shows, movies, and Xbox One gaming. I read there are other tv’s with better pictures for less $$, but you buy this one for a great looking, thin tv on the wall with the art mode and magnetic frame/trim you can put around the tv (also another $150+ expense sadly...). The remote is intuitive and rechargeable, and the navigation windows for apps, etc. are very user friendly. Wife’s happy with it and I like it too!
