An immersive TV sound experience that puts you in the heart of the action. Your TV uses its four built-in speakers - including up-firing speakers - to make the sound follow the action on screen*. Hear a car zoom along your screen, the crowd cheer all around you, or the dialogue come from where the character is standing. Tired of seeing distracting glare on your TV screen? The Frame's ground-breaking Matte Display overcomes this problem as it absorbs reflections - so even in bright light you'll have the best possible viewing experience, without any distractions. It also helps this Samsung 43 inch TV look just like a picture frame, so you can enjoy beautiful artwork and photography on a glare-free canvas*. 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 functionalitySamsung’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. 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.

See everything you watch come to life with greater detail and realism. Think of nature in even more wonderful shades. The sky is brighter, the grass is greener, and the details are clearer. Samsung's Quantum Dot-powered TVs transform light into lifelike and accurate colour – validated by Pantone. The result? A naturally bright and colourful picture in over a billion cinematic colours.

But the other seven in the Classic sub-collection are less well known, despite being attached to Big Names (Gauguin, Klimt, Munch). And the other sub-collections range from unfamiliar and uninspiring photographs to patterns and renderings that look more like Pointillistic interpretations of Windows wallpaper to curious, animated cinemagraphs and things resembling YouTube drone videos. When you’re in the room, the Motion Sensor detects your presence and automatically turns the TV to Art Mode, so you can enjoy art while you’re there. When you leave, it turns off into standby mode to save energy. Plus, the Brightness Sensor detects ambient light and automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness and colour tone to perfectly match the art piece on display.* The 40-watt audio system in The Frame produces satisfactory sound for any kind of content. It never gets too loud, but there’s also no detectable clipping even at the top of the volume range. The car chases in The Batman, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s charming songs for Encanto, and straight dialogue in movies and TV shows all sounded clear if somewhat less than full-bodied.The Frame TV is as much a statement piece of interior design as it is a standard television with its Art Mode and colorful bezel framing options. So if style is important to you, this is a solid choice. 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. 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.

A TV that looks just like a picture frame - with a stunningly slim profile and customisable bezel frame options*, The Frame will fit perfectly with your home décor. Ask anyone and they will have a hard time telling the difference between The Frame and a normal picture frame.

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. For instance, while it regularly presented a good image for broadcast TV content, it could be too aggressive with motion smoothing for films, and seemingly taking different approaches to individual streaming apps. Samsung's Dual LED technology uses warm and cool LEDs to light up the TV. So whether you’re watching a documentary set in the Sahara or a movie scene in the depths of the ocean, you’ll always get more truthful colour and bolder contrast. The only major difference between The Frame’s remote and the Samsung OLED’s? The color. This remote, in yet another break from tradition, has an all-white casing. I have to give Samsung credit for this mod rethinking that fits in with the Mod convention-flaunting. But that I’d rather look at the remote than use it says something—and probably not what Samsung intended. Samsung The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV (2022) review: Verdict
