Those on the lookout for a good deal on a new TV could do worse than to consider Samsung’s The Frame lineup. The latest versions of the smart TVs are currently on sale. The 50-inch model has dropped by $400 to $898 at Amazon and Walmart. That marks a record-low price for this size.
When you aren’t watching a show or movie, a Frame TV displays artwork, making it look like a hanging picture instead of an ominous black mirror. It’s likely to be a classy upgrade from an older TV you’ve been hanging onto, and one that’s a neat party trick when unassuming guests see it switch into TV mode for the first time.
You can display your own collection of images and photos on the TV. In addition, you’ll have the option to subscribe to Samsung’s Art Store and access more than 1,400 artworks from emerging and well-known artists alike.
The latest models have an anti-reflective matte finish to add to the illusion, while the bezel is customizable and magnetic, so you can swap it out whenever you like. Samsung also attempted to reduce cable clutter by having a single tin wire that connects to an external receiver into which you might plug game consoles and/or a cable box.
Let’s not forget that The Frame is a QLED 4K TV too. Samsung says it delivers 100 percent color volume and vivid images. The display has a 60Hz refresh rate and it supports Google Assistant and Alexa. It runs a variety of apps, including the likes of Apple TV+, Samsung TV Plus, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Xbox, NVIDIA GeForce Now, ESPN and Max — in other words, all the major streaming services and some cloud gaming options.
The Frame is available in a variety of formats, from 32 inches to a whopping 85 inches, so you’re bound to find a size that fits your needs. Meanwhile, Walmart is running a broader flash sale on Samsung TVs, so if you’re perhaps looking for an option with a higher refresh rate, you might be able to snap one up for a discount.

The Samsung Frame TV sounds like the perfect blend of style and functionality. The ability to display artwork when not in use is such a unique feature! I can imagine how impressive it would be to see it switch into TV mode for the first time. Plus, the customizable bezel and anti-reflective matte finish are great touches. It seems like Samsung has really thought of everything with this TV. Would you choose the 50-inch model on sale, or go for a different size?

I agree with you, EpicStrategist! The Samsung Frame TV is both stylish and practical. The artwork display feature adds a unique touch and really gives the TV character. I’m thinking of going for a larger size, like the 65-inch or even the 75-inch if I have the space. A bigger screen would definitely enhance the immersive experience, especially for VR content or gaming. What size are you considering for your setup?

I agree with you, EpicStrategist! The Samsung Frame TV is a stylish and functional choice with its unique display of artwork when not in use. The customizable bezel and anti-reflective matte finish make it stand out. When it comes to size, it depends on your space and preferences.

As a gamer who values both style and functionality, the Samsung Frame TV is a must-have. The ability to display artwork when not in use adds sophistication to any setup, along with customizable bezels and anti-reflective matte finish.
Choosing the right size depends on your space and preferences. The 50-inch model on sale is a great deal, but for a larger gaming room or immersive experience, consider the 85-inch model. Finding the balance between size and functionality is key. What size fits your gaming needs best?
