I've been looking for the frame to go on sale for months now, and although there is a similar post on Ozbargain for a 65" frame it is worth noting that the 55" comes down to just $1,104 when you are signed into the 'Education store' through the samsung app or website

The 65" would have been way too big for my space, so, wanting to make others aware of this deal who may be in a similar spot. Further to that, when you purchase the tv through the samsung app you get an extra 5% off. So I ended up getting the TV for a steal at $1,048. Better than buying second hand off marketplace any day of the week.

These had sold out the other day but are back in stock and ready for pre-order, dispatching after the 30th of Jan

Hope this helps others, and go easy as its my first post!

    How are the quality of these "frame" TVs?

    • BatmanAU on 24/01/2024 - 10:12

      I would like to know too, I’m not fussed on the slimness or wall hanging, I’m just looking for a new TV to replace my older Samsung.

        If you aren't fussed about the look don't go for this.

        Frame is geared for aesthetics, it looks much nicer than a big black rectangle on the wall, but the picture quality isn't the best. I love mine.

        Get another TV. Probably same quality for lower price. The Frames also have a matt finish to make the pictures look more like picture art.

      My brother has the 65 Frame TV and I own a Sony Bravia of the same size.
      I have to say, the frame tv looks great on the wall, it's aesthetically pleasing when not in use.
      The quality though is very far off from the Sony in my opinion.

      I feel like the Frame is best suited where it isnt the main screen of the house.

      That's just my take on it.

      • beardelune on 24/01/2024 - 11:26

        Sony is a pretty high watermark though; I dont think anyone does TVs as well

          Yeah, i don't think the Frame is a fair comparison against Sony Bravia. Probably need to compare one of Samsung's OLEDs

          • wellzi on 25/01/2024 - 11:04

            @jonow83: Sorry, what? LED vs OLED is NOT a reasonable comparison. They're the same technology, let alone are they remotely remotely within the same price range.

      It's great to look at, has a matte finish so not much reflection.

      Screen itself is okay, there are better TVs if you are after a screen.

      Frame is a different category which I personally won't compare to anything else. It's an overall package, not just a screen.

    • g602 on 24/01/2024 - 11:14

      I've had this for just over a year now and came from a comparable Samsung non-matte TV.

      Given the light from a neighbouring window is hitting the Frame TV, I absolutely love the matte finish and quality of the screen. The Frame aspect is a nice touch and does add to the aesthetics but we only really turn it on when guests are coming over.
      It definitely tricks people into thinking we just have some art hung on the wall, especially now that we bought a wooden frame for the TV itself.

      Would highly recommend.

      Very average contrast, HDR peak brightnesses, PQ EOTF tracking and grey uniformity. Otherwise, not bad for the price: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/the-frame-2022-qle…

      • fishnchipsncoke on 27/01/2024 - 03:29

        That ain't a bad score. Would be curious to see what people would consider a better tv for the price.

    • bangiebargie on 24/01/2024 - 12:56

      I have this exact model. I love it - no issues with quality. If you are a TV snob (and no judgment if you are), you will likely find fault with the blacks not being deep enough, and perhaps the reflectivity of the screen. However, as someone who cares about aesthetics of the TV as well screen quality, it's a fair compromise to have this TV looking this good. I have it mounted on the Samsung easel stand, and it looks fantastic in the middle of the room. Would definitely buy again, especially at this price.

    • Vecernik87 on 24/01/2024 - 13:01

      My 85'' model has trouble with backlight bleeding. I can't be bothered to ask samsung for support again (tv arrived bent, took several months to have it repaired but IMHO the technician didn't do it correctly and damaged the panel during installation)

      Other than that, it is pretty good. Matte finish with timber-looking frame sitting neatly on the wall with no cable visible at all - that looks great.

        It is $250 too much. Seen it at Gerry's toy store, same price at JBGuys.
        As much as it saves wall space it has a huge box to drive it.

      These deals from Samsung should be tagged [Students] or something then.

          There was no need for that bitter response.

          Every other deal is marked with some [tag] despite stating what the store/source of the deal is.

          So people can grasp things right away or filter out certain types of deals. Because, as any whizz kid like you knows, that's the main purpose of those tags!

      Frame for home theatre sounds like such a weird choice. Wouldn't you want something with a better panel? Who cares about the frame when it's not in use if its for your home theater.

        Actually it’s a sunroom with lots of light, so the matt finish screen looks much better without reflection.

      This one stores just as well as any other TV :p but really, it depends so much on what you want. As the above comments have suggested, it's not gonna blow you away with quality. But unlike other TVs it makes for a nice decoration when you aren't watching it, and when you are, it's decent. Not bad, not amazing.

          But on a serious note, technology changes every few months. Samsung's new range is in and this will be 2 ywars old, nothing wrong with that especially from this price point.if you don't care about the frame aspect and need a better TV, there are other options and I recommend to wait.

      Unenergised electrolytic capacitors which this tv no doubt has do actually have a used by date. For industrial spares, there needs to be a capacitor reforming schedule otherwise you go to use the spare and it goes pop. But we are talking a couple of years not a couple of months.

    I recently stayed in a hotel which had one of these frame TVs. The picture was on which was nice but the TV on picture mode was getting very warm. It was warm to a degree that made the little hotel room very hot. I had to turn it off. Not sure if this is the case for all of them or not.

      • Deridas on 24/01/2024 - 11:10

        I'm somewhat sure they have motion detection and turns itself off when nobody's in the room. Can't confirm as I'm on the lookout for one but yet to pull the trigger.

        • coffeeinmyveins on 24/01/2024 - 11:53

          looks like there is which makes sense. Samsung themselves state about 30% power usage compared to when it's "on" tv mode.

          So it's still an increase in consumption, but maybe not too much.

        • bangiebargie on 24/01/2024 - 12:59
          +1

          I have mine set up with motion detection - hardly uses any power when it's on 'frame' mode (ie displaying artwork). You can also set it up with a timer so that the motion detection only switches on during certain hours.

    • Hoju on 24/01/2024 - 11:39
      +2

      This is what bothers me about this. Somewhere on another thread, I asked, and an owner replied that on picture mode it almost uses as much power as when it is switched on at low brightness.

      Seems like a phenomenal waste of energy

      Edit: here it is

      The power consumption actually ties to the brightness of the screen.

      For my 2022 75" model, when changing the brightness in art mode, the power consumption is as followed:

      Darkest: 47W
      Middle setting: 78W
      Brightest: 210W
      Normal TV mode: 96W

      The darkest setting is pretty much unusable that you can barely see the image. With the middle setting, while it's usable for me during day time, I prefer 1 step brighter which brings the power consumption to 93W, which is pretty similar to the normal TV mode. So from a power consumption perspective, it's pretty much all about the brightness of the screen.

      • Godot on 24/01/2024 - 11:58
        +5

        So it's using 2.2kWh per day, that's 815kWh per year. At 30c per kWh that's $244 per year. Or $2440 a decade. Support your local economy and just buy some real art 😁

          I have one, you can turn it fully off by holding off for a few seconds. I only have art mode when people are coming over or I feel like it, I know whats the point then, it still sits almost flush against wall and looks nice.

            @prankster: 93W = 93Wh/hour (watt hours per hour = watts)

            = 2.232kWh (1000 watts in a kilowatt)

    Now this is our home and it gets used every day.
    My husband went from a massive tv in a massive room to a smaller everything. He seems happy with it.
    I like that its picture turns on when someone walks past it (so acts as a night light) then it turns itself off again when there is no movement. The sensor doesn't react when a pet walks past it.

    I've got the Q70c as the frame was too expensive at the time, the frame would've been better for anti glare but the sole reason I bought this TV was for the thin panel, the 55" TV fits between 2 bedroom doorways in my kitchen area and doesn't intrude the space when walking past.

    I'm surprised their isn't more thin panels available Samsung is really the only game in town for this price point.

      and whats this "one connect box" ?
      https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/reviews/07I6rZNvLAs83i5yWFCAHoP-…
      Is this acting as the device where you plug all your cables and then this goes into the tv with 1 cable so on the actual TV there are no connections because it goes through this "one connect box"
      and if so, does that mean the power of the tv goes through this "one connect box" too?
