While the frame doesn’t come included in the box, the setup is done in an instant. We’ve been testing the latter and as a New Jersey native, the texture and color of the “wood” reminds us of the shore. Samsung offers various designs, including a proper black frame, alongside white, brown and a nice modern teak to make up for it. To get that, you’ll need to spend between $99 and $199 for a “customizable bezel,” and while it’s technically an optional add-on, it’s all but a written requirement. The traditional black bezel here is really just a border and doesn’t deliver the effect that The Frame promises. You’ll quickly learn that the frame part of The Frame doesn’t really come in the box. So that’s The Frame’s screen, and out of the box, it looks like a pretty standard design. This works in tandem with Samsung’s Quantum Processor 4K to create an image. To be specific, it’s a 4K QLED panel from Samsung, and that means it’s an LED backlight paired with a Quantum Dot layer. It also falls behind on vibrancy when compared with Samsung’s Neo QLED models.Īt the heart of Samsung’s The Frame is a pretty standard 4K resolution screen. Samsung’s The Frame sits in the upper regions of 4K TVs and delivers a great picture it’s not best in class, though, with the TCL 6-Series offering more detail, thanks to Mini LEDs, at a similar price point. It meets the bar for a 4K picture that’s great for movies and TV shows as well. The Frame TV is a lifestyle model that focuses on the design and the unique functionality of Art Mode. LG’s Gallery options are both more expensive ( starting at $1,799 for a 55-inch) and use an OLED panel instead of a QLED. How this compares: Samsung’s The Frame really sits in a TV sector of its own. Just know you’ll need to buy the frame separately. You’ll need to subscribe, but you get access to over 1,000 works of art that you can cycle through and leave displaying - at a brightness that fits your space - when the TV is not in use. Its biggest highlight is its design with customizable bezels and an Art Mode that displays art when the TV is off.
What you need to know: At its core, the Frame is a 4K QLED TV, so you can rest easy knowing it will deliver a good picture.
Who this is for: Samsung’s The Frame TV is for anyone who’s willing to pay a premium for a great-looking TV that also doubles as a work of art when it’s turned off. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
