Product Information

For starters, there’s the 8K-ready Samsung QN900B and QN800B that have a higher resolution - they’re going to look better at larger screen sizes like 75 inches and above due to their higher pixel density. How well does The Frame unite the (relatively) newfangled technology of television with the old-fashioned, time-tested precepts of visual art? To find out, we subjected it to our display testing regimen, using a SpectraCal VideoForge Pro pattern generator, an X-Rite i1 Pro spectrophotometer, and Portrait Displays’ Calman calibration software. That makes for a huge amount of variety, meaning The Frame TV is a television that can be catered to your specific living situation. Want a massive screen to put the fear of god into your children? Or a teeny, cutsey display that can fit on a shelf or be easily tidied away? The Frame TV can do it all. Frame your most treasured memories in a way that best complements your home. It's easy to upload and exhibit your own photography or a new family portrait on your TV – simply send your photos to The Frame TV via your smartphone* or a USB flash drive. Better still, you can elevate your photos to new artistic heights by choosing from six pre-loaded aesthetic filters. We've retested the VRR, input lag, and supported resolutions with an HDMI 2.1 source and the latest firmware version 1403.

It's worth mentioning that, yes, the Frame TV offers genuinely great image quality, especially compared to its predecessors. But you’re paying a premium for the design here, rather than the absolute heights of image and sound quality that a similar price tag might get you elsewhere, even within Samsung’s non-Frame range. Also consider... Though we’ve been testing the 4K/60Hz 43-inch model, the range starts at a 1080p/60Hz 32-inch baseline, and any size above the 43-inch version gets the full 4K/120Hz treatment from the HDMI 2.1 port onboard. Regardless, it’s a solid set for gamers, with input lag minimal from our testing with an Xbox Series X and Nvidia Shield Android set-top box. Conclusion Yes, the possibility exists that you can use The Frame to supplement your décor and broaden your horizons. But not everyone is going to love this style of art as a service. Samsung 65-inch Class The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV (2022) review: Audio For The Frame series, the matte finish is a big step forward, one that brings the TV a little closer to the rest of the Samsung 2022 TV lineup in terms of performance.

We also think, even though it’s available in large sizes of a similar caliber, The Frame TV is the perfect second-room TV thanks to its combination of great picture quality and ability to blend in with its surroundings where a large TV screen might otherwise be unsightly. Samsung’s Frame TV sets have always impressed from a design standpoint, but have sometimes struggled when it comes to the actual picture department. Thankfully, the 2021 model has no such issues—this QLED set is at the very least a match for what Samsung puts out in the upper end of its mid-range lineup. In terms of sound, this Frame model is not something to brag about. The sound itself is quite large and fills the room well, but is quite diffuse – the voices are more everywhere than coming from a certain place. A snarky soundbar – for example a Sonos Beam or one of Samsung’s matching speakers from the S-series, will be the right solution to give the sound a boost.

that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); The 32″ version differs from the other Frame models in several respects: First, the screen resolution is limited to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) where the larger models have Ultra HD (3840 x 2160). It also has to do without the extra high-contrast Dual LED panel that the big brothers are equipped with. The frame rate is also limited up to 60Hz, which will possibly disappoint some gaming fans. Wandering too far from the center of the screen will apply that look to any content; the poor viewing angles of the The Frame ensure that even before you hit the corners of the set, the picture will look grey and blighted, with distorted colors. (A full-purple test screen looked practically rose from the extreme edges.) The set does upscale well, though, with Mission: Impossible—Fallout losing only a trace of its razor-sharp detail between the 1080p and native 4K versions we watched. Samsung The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV (2022) review: Art functionality Update 08/19/2020: We changed HDMI Forum VRR to 'Unknown' because we currently don't have an accurate way to test for HDMI Forum VRR compatibility. Once we do, we'll test for it and update the review.Update 07/27/2021: We updated the firmware to version 2016, and it doesn't have any issues displaying 4k @ 120Hz content with chroma 4:4:4, including in Game Mode. Update 11/27/2020: We've retested the VRR with an HDMI 2.1 source and the latest firmware (version 1403). New for 2021 is a tripod TV stand for those not wanting to wall-mount the set – something matched by the Gallery Stand of the LG G1 OLED.

We also said that "The picture comes across best with darker scenes and moodier palettes, more in keeping with the pensive gallery atmosphere of contemplating the paintings in the TV’s Art Store." The same is true of viewing HDR content, as there Filmmaker Mode’s maximum brightness jumped up to 500 nits, which isn’t super bright for HDR (the Samsung S959B QD-OLED recently hit 1,050 nits and last year’s Sony A80J OLED got to 600) but is more than acceptable in most situations. As far as HDR color, The Frame covered 92.1% of the UHDA-P3 color gamut—not terrible, but not as good as you’ll see on other sets. There’s no support for Dolby Vision, but there is for HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. Our initial hands-on test showed The Frame to be a good overall set for everyday TV watching, and a particularly impressive one for viewing artwork and photos – Samsung’s prime design directive for this category in its Lifestyle lineup. Add one of the company’s optional “frames,” hang it on the wall, and load up an old master and this TV will seem almost indistinguishable from an actual painting. The Samsung monitor uses a separate junction box (One Connect), which carries power and video signals up to the TV through a common cable. The purpose is to reduce cable clutter, but we scratch our heads a bit over the solution they have chosen on the 32″ model.When viewing a full-screen 100% white test pattern on The Frame, it showed no sign of color tinting or brightness drops from the center to the edges of the screen, but rather a brilliant and fully uniform white. This bodes well for displaying artwork and photos, which, of course, will also benefit greatly from the matte finish screen coating when viewing with overhead room lights on and window blinds opened. While images looked stunning when viewed straight on, we also noted that brightness uniformity was notably lessened when viewing anywhere beyond +/- 15 degrees off from center – a traditional weakness of LCD display tech. The big selling point of The Frame is its art integration, which is accessible via a menu option from the home screen. You can scroll through the default options, which are organized into categories such as Featured, Global Top 20, Etsy, and more. We spoke to James Parker, Head of TV Product Management at Samsung Electronics UK, who told us that “24% of people replace their TV for interior related reasons, and so The Frame in 32-inch fills the void in the market for a transferable TV that can fit in with any space regardless of the size.”
