Great for displaying digital photos
My review is slanted more toward the art frame vs. tv as my main purpose in buying the frame is to display digital artwork in my entry. I didn't find the wall installation to be much of a problem although I can understand some of the angst about the way it's done. Given the spacing on the TV brackets, you can only hit one stud and even then with only one screw. The remaining three screws go into the drywall in my case. Knowing this, I bought Toggler wall mounts which made the job easy...just tape the template on the wall knowing that I can only hit one stud. The 43" version only weighs something like 20 lbs, so the Toggler fasteners can easily support much more that that. I took extra care to be sure that I taped the template level to avoid any issues. The instructions are a bit cryptic using only diagrams and some explanation/FAQ might have been more helpful. I did look online for videos but didn't run across any for the 43" model. The art display is really cool and I've already loaded several of my own digital images (cropped to 16x9) using the SmartThings app on my iPhone. I don't fully understand all the options and nuances of running slideshows, etc. but the online manual is quite comprehensive and will require some study. I like the black frame and it does fit pretty flush to the wall. I have since ordered a white frame bezel that is on backorder. I will likely subscribe to the art gallery as there is a free 30-day trial. I have looked at the smart TV options and the picture looks great as well. So far I am pretty excited to see some of my own art work on the wall and have used Adobe Photoshop to give some of my photos a "painterly" look. It's expensive for what I am using it for, but for what it does, I thing it's something our family will enjoy for years to come.

Buy for the look, art, customizable features not $
It is a great idea and conversation starter. People are shocked it is a TV. The free art is limited but they will sell you a membership/art subscription but it costs $4.99/month after purchase. The TV has a great picture. There is a mood feature that is pretty cool. It creates a vibe. I wish the tv could be both flush and pull out from the wall to swivel. I bought the tv and then it went on a deep discount 16 days after I bought my tv and Best Buy would not refund the difference. I thought poorly of that decision.

No way that's a TV!
My daughter bought a 2022 version of this TV and I couldn't believe it was a TV hanging above her fireplace. I was jealous and happened to be browsing at the Best Buy outlet and saw the open Box for the 2021 version. I do see the difference between the 2022 and the 2021 versions and the newer one looks like an actual textured painting and the 2021 version a backlit photo. I got a great deal on it so I can't complain. My son also got one for his house and showed me a website to download additional paintings for free. It has a slide show feature and also has a lot of smart features and it's own Built-in program guide and you don't really need a cable/ Satellite company to be able to view lots of channels. If I didn't already have a fairly new 65" Samsung in my other room I would seriously consider upgrading. I'm still trying to figure out the settings so it turns off so I don't have a painting displayed all night.

Happy 1912.
We bought a house that was built in 1912-14 and didn’t want a plain sight tv so we bought the “frame” tv and couldn’t be any happier with the way the tv can display old oil paintings. The picture is stunning when watching and incognito when not. A-MAZE-ING!! I included pics of how it looks so far all I have to do is hide the wire to feed tv and hide speakers.
