![]() ![]() Obviously you can also put it on a solid tripod in a larger room. You can tilt the wall mount up to 5 degrees. It’s not entirely “no gap” but it comes very close. The Samsung comes with a wall mount that will keep the frame/TV very close to the wall. velcro), as the original bezels work with small magnets to hold them tight. You can make a bezel yourself but you will have to find a way how to keep them fastened (e.g. In earlier models they were made of wood, now it’s just plastic but it still looks high value. The older models didn’t have power coming from the box and the cable was in-wall rated. You cannot extend it but you can buy a longer one for $300. The standard cable that comes with the frame is 16 feet long. From what I have been reading, it needs to run through a proper conduit and you can’t bend it sharply. “One Wire” is not in-wall rated, so you can’t just make take a wall groove cutting machine and bury the cable in the wall. So if you have a gallery with only white walls and not much furniture, you will have to think hard about where to put the black box. The wire contains both power and the signal. The box contains the TV electronics and is connected to the frame with a small transparent but still visible cable (“One Wire”). Samsung doesn’t even show it on their website. One thing that you need to know is that The Frame is not just the frame but also a black box (“ One Connect“) that you need to put somewhere. I have long said that a TV makes a lousy digital picture frame because (1) a TV still looks like a TV even when you display still images, (2) the height is optimized for sitting not for standing, (3) and there is a constant effort needed to switch the TV back to digital picture frame mode instead of convenient maintenance-free operation.īut I have to admit that over the years, Samsung has improved their concept and The Frame is indeed great for digital photos or artworks. Samsung’s The Frame series is no doubt a stunning concept. What you wish you had known before the purchase That why I jokingly called it in the Digital Frame Finder “For Rich People”. While the 32-inch model is relatively affordable at around $600, the largest model will set you back a few thousand dollars. In comparison: Netgear Meural’s largest frame is 27 inches which looks tiny compared to even the smallest Samsung model. In between, you can choose between 43, 50, 55, and 65 inches. The smallest model comes in at 32 inches and goes up to a spectacular 75 inches. No other manufacturer can match the sheer display size of Samsung’s The Frame range. It can even become almost a part of the wall itself like a magic wand using the background as an image! I guess it does takes a few attempts to make it look like the photo below but even Harry Potter had to learn the tricks of the trade! When it comes to photos and art size matters So instead of being a black rectangle on the wall when you are not using the television, it will become a gallery of artwork or a photo frame. You can use it as a regular television, display your own photos or enjoy museum-like art with a subscription service. It can be mounted flat onto a wall, has a wood-style bezel and no visible lights or operating panels that would reveal its true nature as a television. In a nutshell, The Frame is a television disguised as a picture frame. I was able to use my neighbour’s The Frame as Samsung couldn’t provide me a review model. There are no financial or material donations to be disclosed.
