Anybody have the Samsung Frame Pro TV?

I went with a different Samsung - They still have the picture frame features...and at the time the picture on the Neo Q was much better than The Frame models.

That was nearly 4 years ago, so not sure if they are still that different, or if Samsung has improved the frame models.

I have had a samsung frame tv for 2 years and never had a problem with the tv . Vie been very happy with it.

I guess the difference is they are just not as thin so don't have quite the "picture frame" look?

i'm not sure they have the 'art' software running by default either.

it does more than just stick a photo up there; it balances the tone, brightness, creates a 'matte' finish so you truly feel like you're staring at a piece of art on the wall. its VERY well done and even if you can stick a magnetic bezel on a different model, its not a frame tv.

also the mount is ingenius on the frame tv, literally FLUSH against the wall thanks for that filament TV cable management system.

hisense, tcl, etc are doing 'frame' tvs but read the fine print..its just a shitty knock off app of what samsung perfected here and there's **NO** single cable system.

without that, you cant mount a tcl or hisense flush or do any of the cool Frame stuff..its just a tv with a bunch of caveman inputs and shite on the back that you are constantly trying to reach to add & remove shite.

frame or nothing if you want a frame.

if not, just get a regular tv.

Yea I mean that is a huge bonus. I have tube from my mantle to my cabinets so I can run wires and they not be visible but this is too cool.

Does yours drop on you or cut out often? Looking online that seems to be the complaints. And my buddy who installs A/V said it's been a problem.

Do you still use a roku/fire stick/etc or just use the Samsung remote? Saw online people said there was some delay or not as responsive using the Samsung direct instead of a Roku. Like it wasn't as good for navigating the streaming services and apps cut out on them.

TIA

Yea I went up to Best Buy this weekend because I wanted to see them in person. I'm sure the TCl and Hisene are fine butyou can just tell even in the store that there really is no comparison. And the others having the TV guts all in one they don't getto sit as flat against the wall and truly look like a frame like the Samsung does now that it has the wireless box.

I'd definitely have to get the wireless picture frame speakers too.

You know, because..

Making the one connect box wireless was a yuge mistake. I wouldn’t buy a pro, 65” or smaller if you want a frame.

My advice is unless you absolutely need the wireless box, go with the reliable wired connection and get the regular frame.

this is a truisum for EVERYTHING connected in your house IMO

eta this was my frame at my old house; cheesy video i know but i had just installed the wifi shades i bought from ikea and was playing with them.

the beam speaker underneath has a tiny hole in the trim that i drilled to run the cables and both the frame Connect box and wiring is inside those drawers underneath connected to power & ethernet via plug hidden inside.







that was a fun house..just too far way from my kids' schools

oh and before i forget; most museums have website with free downloadable art from their collections; just look around.

you can download it to a usb stick and plug that into the One Connect box for all the free art you can eat instead of paying outrageous (imo) subscription for samsung to turn on their curated art.

that includes photos of your kids or anyting else you want to use. When you 'install' an art piece, samsung mutes the colors and create a matte effect so it looks like art..very cool. can't explain it but when you try it you'll see.

just make sure its sized correctly for your frame (i forget the dimensions) if you don't want blank space around it. just use a photo tool on your PC to crop it if its not or google 'samsung frame sized art' online.

also to IWY...you don't have to buy Samsung bezels. samsung is pricey but there are tons of generic on amazon and cool ones on Etsy as well; they're just 4 magnetic slats w/ 45 degree corners that you slap around your tv. shop around and find one that fits your asthetic; there's a zillion out there.

Is there a lag or something? What's the issue with the wireless setup?
