Great for displaying digital photos
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.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.

Does what you expect
Posted .It displays artwork and doubles as a TV. The artwork resolution is impressive - it really looks like a piece of art. The only reason for the 4 stars is the mount. The template did not exactly match the dimensions of the TV. And the wall anchors provided are garbage and will not work on drywall. The combo of both made the install a real pain as there is no room for error. After buying the correct wall anchors and redrilling the mounting holes, it was worth it in the end.

Buy for the look, art, customizable features not $
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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.

Happy 1912.
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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.

Q: QuestionThere's frame around the picture. is the frame permanent or does it disappear when watching TV?

Q: QuestionIs the 2021 43" The Frame TV compatible with the 2020 model slim wall mount? Or has the wall mount changed for 2021?
Asked by Zinger.
- A:Answer Very important to know, the mount system included with the 43" is different than 50" and up. All the videos online for 2021 installs show the mount the came with larger TVs.
Answered by CoMin
Q: QuestionCan you turn the display off entirely, or does it always show artwork even when the TV is off?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi there! You can turn The Frame TV off completely by pressing and holding the power button. ^Gina

Q: QuestionCan we display gif or simple animations in the art mode? I’d like to have a mostly still image with a few movements like trees swaying to wind to create a live feeling, for example like a window to a rainforest.
Asked by Adrien.
- A:Answer Hi Adrien - The Frame TV can only display still images. ^Gina
Answered by Samsung
Q: QuestionIf I want to wall mount, using an electrical outlet on the wall behind the tv, can I just plug into the tv back, or do I need to use the One Connect at all? Assuming I just use the smart features without cable or inputs other than electricity?
Asked by TLC1.
- A:Answer Hi TLC1, you will need to use the One Connect Box with the Frame TV for power even if you do not need to connect any other devices to the connection ports. ^Val
Answered by Samsung
Q: QuestionMy contractor is wondering if he can mount the One Connect box on the other side of the wall which is in my garage. We are wondering if this box can withstand different temperatures. Its an attached garage and its insulated but not temp controlled.
Asked by WP502.
- A:Answer WP502 - Please first ensure you are utilizing the in-wall One Connect cable (Model VG-SOCR86U/ZA), as the included One Connect cable is not rated for in-wall installation. When installing your TV and One Connect Box, please maintain a distance of at least 4 inches between the One Connect Box with other objects (walls, cabinet sides, etc.) to ensure proper ventilation. The Operating Temperature ranges from 50 °F to 104 °F; Storage Temperature ranges from -4 °F to 113 °F. ^Gina
Answered by Samsung
Q: QuestionDoes this have the separate tv box like previous models or is it all built into the screen now?
Asked by Avhk.
- A:Answer It connects via single optical cable to the OneConnect box, same as in last year’s model (and before). If this bothers you, there are other 4K Samsung TVs with built-in ports that are just as thin.
Answered by moiety
Q: QuestionDoes the frame around the actual TV come with the purchase or is that purchased separately? The current frame looks thin on the TV I just received. I previously purchased this same size (in Canada) and it came with a thicker gallery frame.
Asked by David.
- A:Answer Hi David! The Frame TV comes with a black frame. This black frame cannot be removed. The Customizable Bezels sold separately are attached directly on top of the black frame and come in Modern Brown, Modern Teak, and Modern White. ^Gina
