Samsung The Frame QE-65LS03TA 65 "

TV as a work of art

When designing a new generation of TVs, Samsung designers came up with an interesting concept. The idea was to make not just a TV, but an important element of the interior, turning the TV into a wall canvas. The main snag was in the wall mount. With a traditional TV bracket, the TV would look ridiculous, so The Frame came up with a special No Gap Wall Mount, with which the TV fits snugly against the wall and really resembles a rather large 65-inch wall canvas. Alternatively, you can purchase a special stand in the form of an easel. The second important solution is the common One Connect module and a translucent universal cable that simultaneously serves as both power and signal transmission. Agree, the picture from which the wires would stick out would look strange.

Famous museums and art galleries on your wall

The third key decision to turn your TV into a piece of art is the interchangeable side panels with wood frame finish. In total, six colours are available and thanks to this choice, the TV is much easier to fit into the interior of the room, and in the future to refresh the appearance of the panel if it becomes boring. When the TV is not in use, it goes into photo frame mode. It would be blasphemy to spin a Win 10 wallpaper on such a TV, so the TV has a subscription-based Art Store application that allows you to download thousands of works of art from the largest galleries and museums in the world in high resolution to your TV. In Picture mode, Samsung The Frame automatically adjusts the brightness of the picture and turns off to save power when no one is in the room.

65" 4K QLED

Otherwise, this is a fairly expensive and terribly progressive "smart" TV. The Frame's 4K display is based on a QLED matrix with 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, AMD FreeSync and resolution upscaling technology. The Quantum 4K GPU does a great job of artificially zooming in, while the Enhanced Definition feature noticeably improves readability in dynamic scenes. You can only scold the picture for the average brightness and unnatural display of skin colours in HDR10+ mode. The audio system in The Frame produces a standard 20 watts of power and is not impressive. There is no support for Dolby Atmos, spatial sound has not been delivered, and there is not enough bass. This is perhaps the most boring part of The Frame.
