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.

I had done the research on this television and seen it at a friend’s house so I already had high expectations. But, the television has exceeded those and the art mode is better than I expected Additionally the art mode has been a bonus surprise in that it has introduced me to famous art pieces that I’ve never seen before It’s almost like you can create a revolving gallery in your own home Friends come into our living space and don’t know there’s a television until I tell them Oh yeah, the television picture is great too

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.

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.

Purchased this television based on the Art Mode and no gap wall mount that comes with it. I highly recommend spending the additional $5 per month for the subscription to view other piece of art available.

The Samsung Frame Series! Beautiful TV in looks and color! Sits flush against your wall and displays your choice of photo (even personal) on the screen when you are not watching TV. Looks like a huge picture! Absolutely love this.

The tv was easy to setup, user friendly menus. The various color frames really make it nice to look at when it’s off.

LOVE this tv. It has many art pieces to pick from or you can add your own. Looks gorgeous in my living room. Displays the art when someone walks in the room. The cord is almost transparent. Has all my apps on it. Easy to use.
