Mounting your Samsung Frame TV can seem like a difficult task, but you can complete it by following these steps: Though it may sound confusing, the entire process is fairly seamless and I haven't had to go into the settings to tinker with any of it. I'll admit that I have woken up to find my Frame TV displaying artwork when I thought it was off, but you can easily fix this by turning off Night Mode so the TV doesn't wake up with the sun. Currently, this feature only fits with any size Samsung television, from older models to newer models. How do you hang your Samsung picture frame on your tv?

Installing The Frame is a fairly painless process, but if you’re anything like me you’ll agree that drilling holes into a wall is always an unwanted hassle. I opted to take the easier road in my rental NYC apartment and leave my Frame on the included height-adjustable stand. But if you want the true illusion of artwork on the wall, you'll have to break out the drill. The Samsung The Frame TV displays art so effectively thanks to its anti-reflection technology. The screen has a matte finish so you won't get a pesky glare from lamps or bright sunlight streaming through the window. Samsung improved this technology in its 2022 model, and the matte appearance really makes a difference when you're trying to convince guests that your TV is actually a picture frame. As someone who lives in an extremely bright apartment with 18-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, I can confirm that I've never noticed any light reflections on my screen. Once you've mounted your TV with the included mount or set it up on a stand, you'll have to connect a cable to the One Connect Box Mini. Some Frame owners like to weave this cable behind their drywall to truly hide all the cables, but that does mean drilling more holes. One of our contributors took this approach, building out a shelf in the drywall behind her TV to house the box as well as any cables. While this is the most flawless setup of The Frame, if you don't know the first thing about dealing with drywall (I certainly don't), the cable can simply hang down from the TV. Because it's transparent and thin it'll still look great, and you can always hide it behind a plant or decorative vase. The Frame also features Quantum HDR, which allows for an expanded range of colors and better contrast. All in all, most people won't be disappointed with The Frame's picture quality. But if you're looking for even more exceptional performance at a similar price, there are other TVs to consider like LG's OLED evo C2 Series, one of Good Housekeeping's favorite TVs for a cinema-like feel. The most popular picture frame TV is Samsung's The Frame TV, a QLED TV (QLED TVs differ from OLED TVs because they use a quantum dot layer that produces a wider range of colors — great for the detail in your favorite artwork) that not only features high-quality 4K resolution but is also one of the most convincing picture frame TVs on the market. When mounted, there’s virtually no gap between this pristine TV and the wall, and the bezel is thin and customizable so it can be mistaken for a true frame.For any frame TV you’re considering, you’ll want to make sure, first and foremost, that it will match its environs. Many frame TVs offer customizable bezels (sold separately) that can be used to match the color, finish, or wood style of the room it’s in. Others include swivel or wall mount options, and a few stand on their own legs. 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. Find a location nearby your TV for the One Connect box for all of your component connections. Extend the invisible cable from the TV to the One Connect box either on the surface of the wall or by fishing the cord through the wall you can no longer see the wires behind the TV.

Feed your optical cable. Before you hang your TV, feed your cable through the wall towards your TV. This may take some navigating to get it through the wall. At the Good Housekeeping Institute Media and Tech Lab, we've been testing home entertainment equipment for years, from the best TV brands to soundbars and budget projectors.

Attach your frame to the TV. Assemble your frame face down on the floor first before you attach it to your Samsung Frame TVSamsung’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.

Also unique is that The Frame requires only one discreet cable, which connects to a box that you’ll hide in the vicinity of the TV. (Say goodbye to the hundreds of clunky cables ruining your room’s vibe.) And to make it even more disguisable as a picture frame featuring a beautiful photograph from your family vacation to Alaska, this TV comes equipped with a matte display so you won’t see any glare.

(That's right, it can turn both on and off.) It's super slim and sleek and just feels great when you use it. "It has an Apple-like feel and is both super responsive and easy to use," Papantoniou says. My favorite feature is probably the dedicated Netflix button, which goes directly to Netflix and eliminates the need to navigate through the interface.

The pros at the Good Housekeeping Institute have been reviewing Samsung's The Frame TV since its first iteration. We've followed the development of each model as it's improved, and this is what stood out in 2022's version. (Changes in 2023 were minimal, limited to a new 32-inch size, new bezel options and The Art Store 2.0, which includes collections from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Salvador Dali.)

Will a Samsung Frame TV work in my home? Because the Frame is a QLED (quantum dot LED), it uses ultra-tiny dots in the display to create bold, bright colors. "QLED tends to be brighter — better in a bright room if you’re showing it off," says Alec Scherma, a Good Housekeeping Institute test engineer. "Colors are also very clear with QLED technology, because each quantum dot can be adjusted during manufacturing."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
