Pros and cons

According to our television expert
  • The QLED screen with 1 billion colors ensures a rich color representation.
  • You connect all your peripherals to the TV via One Connect Box with a transparent cable.
  • You can hang your TV close to the wall with the included wall mount, much like a real painting.
  • You have to request the removable frame from Samsung when you receive the TV.
  • Due to the edge lit local dimming, black parts of the screen aren't always truly black.
  • The 50Hz refresh rate doesn't always display fast-moving images smoothly.

Description

The Samsung The Frame QLED 43LS03A (2021) is a television that you also use as a painting or photo frame. Thanks to the thin design and removable frame, it blends into your interior seamlessly. You can put The Frame on leg stands or mount it close to the wall among your other paintings with the included Slim Fit Wall Mount. You connect the TV to the One Connect Box with a thin, almost invisible cable. Connect this box to a socket and all your peripherals. That way, there won't be a tangle of cables running from your TV to the TV cabinet.

In the Samsung Art Store, you have access to hundreds of art pieces to display when the TV is switched off. Or you can choose to display your own photos on the TV via your smartphone. You never have to look at a 'black hole' in the living room again. The QLED screen of the The Frame TV provides a realistic viewing experience, thanks to the 1 billion colors (10-bit). As a result, every subtle color difference is displayed clearly. In addition, the screen uses a sensor to adjusts the brightness and color temperature to the ambient light.

Samsung The Frame: nice TV in a stylish jacket

  • Neat setup thanks to One Connect Box
  • Stylish screen with list
  • Artworks in the Art Store
  • No subwoofer for powerful sound

The Samsung The Frame is a user-friendly 4K QLED television that immediately attracts attention with its stylish design. If you want a TV that fits the style of your home and isn't just a black screen when it's off, The Frame is the way to go.

Stylish design
The most striking feature of The Frame is of course the design. Thanks to the supplied wall bracket and the sleek design of the TV, the screen hangs really close to the wall. When you order a frame from Samsung and attach it to the screen, the picture is complete. Then The Frame hangs on your wall like a painting. With the Art Mode you show all kinds of works of art on the TV, as a kind of screensaver. What I really like about this is that the screen brightness adjusts to the light in the room. When I show a work of art, the screen dims a bit. You can hardly see that it is a TV anymore.

Colorful images, great sound quality
In terms of image quality, I notice that images look very colorful and lively due to the QLED technology. For example, bright colors stand out well and I see many color details in clear images. The contrast is less strong due to the edge lit local dimming. As a result, I sometimes see a bit of glow around bright objects against a dark background, and shadows in the image are not very dark. The sound is sufficient for normal use. The 2 speakers sound clear, even when I watch TV at a higher volume. With exciting films or series I do miss some deeper bass tones. You really need a separate soundbar for this.

One cable from the TV
The Slim One Connect Box is a handy solution for a minimalistic setup of your TV set. This box has all connections, such as 4 HDMI ports and USB inputs, and you can connect it to the TV with one transparent cable. I think that looks neat, because that way there are not all kinds of cables running out of the TV. The power cable also comes from the One Connect Box instead of the TV.

Energy-efficient remote control
The One Remote Control looks simple and it is very easy to use. With the few buttons I have found what I want to watch. There is a solar panel on the back of the remote control. This charges the remote control, so you don't have to change the batteries every time.

Finally a bigger screen without a black hole in the wall.

  • art mode
  • One Connect Box with only one thin wire to the TV
  • Hangs nicely flat on the wall
  • Because mounting has not become easier

Although we liked our old TV, we still wanted a bigger screen. However, all of us in the family find that black surface on the wall very ugly. An acquaintance told us about Samsung the Frame. My interest was quickly aroused.
After a long process of reading and viewing reviews, we decided to order the 50 inch Frame 2021. The thinner design really appealed to us. Last week the TV was delivered and hung up by a 'delivery hero' from Coolblue.

INSTALLATION
We are glad that the Coolblue employee hung up the TV. Compared to the 2020 version, the wall mounting is quite complicated: two plates must be precisely measured and fixed to the wall. There is no large template included, so with directions you have to measure everything exactly on the wall. It would have taken me a long time to do that myself. The Coolblue employee, however, managed this neatly.
The first installation of the TV itself was very simple: you go through a number of steps. The TV immediately recognized the ziggo box, SONOS Beam and the Nintendo Switch. He did not recognize my old Mede8er media player. It is very easy to set manually.

IMAGE
The colors pop off the screen in my eyes (especially compared to my old device). The intelligent mode is very bright and the colors are too saturated. Manually adjust the image to your liking with the 'Film' image setting. Now it looks pretty calm, yet very colorful.
The black values of the Qled screen are of course not comparable with an OLED screen. In a non-dark room, however, the black values are not disappointing at all; in a dark room you see that black is not completely black, but quite acceptable.

SOUND
The sound flows over my Sonos Beam. No experience with the sound from the TV.

SMART TV
In the main menu you can list all the apps you use frequently. You can also place the HDMI sources there. The commonly used apps, such as YouTube, Netflix, Videoland and Prime video were already installed. Apps launch quickly. There is an 'appstore', but we haven't looked at it yet. Unfortunately, the main menu also advertises certain apps and other things. It's not large in view, but you do have to click past it when navigating the main menu. Unfortunately, that cannot be turned off, and that is very unfortunate.

ART MODE
When the TV is off, you can project art or photos onto the screen. A fantastic function, because you don't have an empty black surface on the wall when the TV is turned off. This works more than reasonably. You can take out a (trial) subscription to the 'Art-store', where a large number of images are available. However, you can also easily put your own images on the Frame via your smartphone or USB stick. So I keep that 5 € per month for the subscription in my pocket. For example, high-resolution images of many works of art can be downloaded from the Rijksmuseum on the internet. The images are best if you put them exactly in 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) on the TV.
The art mode looks quite realistic in a lit room. A breath of fresh air! In a dark room you can see better that it is a TV with backlight lighting.
We ordered the free list this weekend from Samsung's promo website. That was an unnecessarily difficult process: there was a whole list of frames to choose from, but in the end the choice was only three colors for this size and version. Chosen for the Teak color. Curious what it would look like then!

CONCLUSION
A very nice TV, and meets expectations! We are happy with it.
