Samsung - 65" Class - LED - The Frame Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

I bought the Frame to replace an older (not smart) plasma TV and Gen 2 Apple TV. The plasma TV was mounted on my ventless, ethanol fireplace and connected to a sound bar. The Apple TV and cable box were tucked away in the mantel, and I used a Logitech Harmony hub to control them. The setup worked okay, but I didn't have 4K, the cables for the TV and sound bar were visible around the fireplace, the Logitech control of everything was a little clunky, and the overall look of the TV mounted to the fireplace wasn't as clean and art-like as I wanted it to be. Mounting the TV was actually pretty straightforward. The included no-gap wall mount works as advertised, and the 55" and 65" models have the ability to be adjusted slightly once mounted to ensure a level mount. The one connect cable easily passed through the channel that I had built into the fireplace, so no cables are visible at all. The result is a great looking setup that really does look like a picture frame. It really makes you wonder why this form factor isn't the standard. We put the One Connect box in the mantel with the cable box and removed the Apple TV since the Frame includes the AppleTV app. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the cable box can be controlled through the OneConnect box, even though both are hidden in the mantel. This allowed me to remove the Logitech Harmony hub and remove another source of complexity from the setup! The only other connections that we use are HDMI from a DVD player and the HDMI ARC to a new Samsung HW-950N soundbar. The TV and soundbar recognized each other immediately and control of the sound has been seamless. I was concerned that navigation with the Samsung OS would be difficult, but I've found it to be really intuitive. We have TCL Roku TVs in other rooms that were purchased primarily because the Roku interface makes navigating between navigation between input sources and other controls easy. I've found that navigating on the Samsung Frame is at least as simple. The picture quality is fantastic. I'm pretty happy with the art mode, although the motion sensing feature doesn't seem to be working as advertised. It doesn't seem to recognize when I walk into the room, although this may be due to the layout of the space. I was able to add some photos from my collection to art mode. Their art store has a lot of options, but navigation and search features could be better. Hopefully this technology will expand and we'll be able to get a broader selection of art.

This 4K TV looks amazing on the wall with the no-gap mount. Nothing looks more like a picture than this TV. When you walk in the room, you can't see any of the hardware such as TV mounts or wires like other TV's. The picture is top-notch as well.

Great tv. Remote Is average. Love the mount to the wall.

The perfect TV for a huge blank wall. It's truly a beautiful piece of art. I am thrilled with it and get a lot of compliments on it. People are shocked to find out it's actually a TV and not a painting on the wall.

OK, if you love good TVs, if you want all of the bells and whistle‘s, this TV is for you. It’s thin & lightweight, it has all of the extras at the touch of a button and it looks like art when you turn it off, nothing bad to say - but one !!

I was very skeptical when I was first introduced to this television. I looked at all the reviews and they were positive plus they showed pictures of their television which shown excellent. So I decided to purchase one while it was on sale and it was a great purchase I must say. My only negative and it’s a small negative is that I wish they had more soothing artwork to Choose from.

Love it. The UI is easy to navigate, it is much faster than other smart TVs that I have used, and the picture is awesome. I wish it had more art out-of-the-box, and paying for the art seems rather odd, but it's fun to have our TV look like a piece of art. With or without the whole "frame" concept, it's a just a very nice looking television on our wall and we are quite happy with this purchase.

Only gave it a 3/5 on ease of use because of the unique mounting requirements if you do not have a place for the one connect box nearby or in wall behind the TV. I have 6 of these Frame Tv’s from various years and cut media boxes in to wall directly behind tv to solve problem. Note, you may have to add cross stud support in wall for mount as well. The QLED panel on this version makes it hands down the best Frame yet.
