Samsung 55" Class The Frame Premium 4K UHD TV (2018)

We love it so far, but almost couldn’t get it installed on the wall. We started drilling the 9mm holes for the masonry mounting as shown in the instructions only to find that the masonry anchors provided were for 8mm holes. Very poor quality control for such a minor, but critical aspect of a tv that is intended to look like a painting...

I bought this TV and mounted it above a fireplace. The picture and quality are phenomenal. We recently had friends over and they were debating whether it was a back-lit piece of art or a TV. I loved this because we wanted to have a TV that did not look like a TV. We mounted the power into the wall so that the TV could lay flat and chose a dark walnut that matched our floors. The options on art and matte is really great allowing us to change moods with the seasons. The one design feature that i wish they could incorporate into the TV though is the WiFi receiver for internet and digital media. I like the thin single cord to the One Connect Box, but I do not connect anything to it. I only need it because it houses and controls the wireless internet connections for the TV. We run Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, etc. over WiFi with all of our digital content stored in the cloud. If Samsung moved the WiFi receiver to the TV then people that were fully wireless and digital would only need a power connection for the TV. This is easily hid behind the TV in the wall. IMO, having this Black Box that has another power cord running to it in addition to the thin cord to the TV really detracts from the beauty of the TV. Move the WiFi to the TV itself and keep the One Connect Box as an accessory for people that still need wired connections for BlueRay, DVD, Cable Fiber, etc. Samsung help me cut the cords!

Samsung does it again! Every product I have bought from Samsung represents quality engineering and state of the art innovation. I had a great friend of mine, Phil C, refer me to this product and like his recommendation -- you will not be disappointed. I hope my review helps and enjoy your new product!

The display quality of this TV is amazing, and it looks like art on my wall

We've had our FrameTV up on the wall for about a month now. We love just about everything on it. The installation was pretty straight forward. The only two minor complaints during installation was that my package only received hardware to mount in concrete wall for some reason. So I had to get some different lag screws. Also, it wasn't clear to me in any documentation online prior to receiving, but the model we bought does not require any 120V plug behind the TV. Previous models may have required it (based on some YouTube videos), but it was a nice surprise to not have to install a recessed receptacle for 120V power. The One Connect cable was the only cable i had to route down the wall to the OneConnect Box. The mounting plate was very straight forward. The OneConnect Box requires the 120V plug in. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but the Frame TV really opens up the space. My wife said we'd never get a 'big' tv for our living room unless it didn't look like a TV. Being tight to the wall does open the space up. And that 'black rectangle' is no longer ever present except while we are all sleeping. The sensor turns on the art mode in the morning when we walk into the room. My wife loves the ArtMode. There are a lot of options in their Library but I hope they expand the art offerings as well. We don't geek out on TVs--our last TV is an 8-year old Samsung that still works well--so I may not be the best to review the picture and audio quality, but the picture is incredible to me. The audio seems great as well, though I'm no audiophile either. The SmartThings software on the FrameTV is very well done and smooth even while switching through various streaming services. The remote is simple to use and very straight forward. I haven't had much luck with the Bixby voice navigation, though that's not too important to me. The SmartThings software apps were easy to download. The only one that I couldn't find that I've used on other TVs was the PBS app. But it has Sling, Amazon Prime, and Netflix and they are so smooth (better than a fire stick). The only two minor complaints that come to mind are: 1. The SmartHub has an internet browser, but we had difficulty in viewing some things including videos (Flash??). 2. The SmartHub has apps like Amazon Music and works well. But you cannot play music and have your FrameTV in ArtMode. That would be my biggest request of Samsung to allow music to play through the TV and still have ArtMode. The OneConnect Box was able to be installed 'remotely.' which is ideal. It does put off some heat--simliar to what a laptop would, so i'm not sure how much airflow around the unit it needs if you were to hide it. We did buy the light wood 'frame' as well. And it really does simply 'snap' on magnetically and lines up very well. We love it. This is my first ever review of a TV. Although it's only a month old, we are very satisfied with the purchase.
