Our Brutally Honest Review of the Samsung Frame TV

All the execs and cons in regards to the Samsung Body TV and find out how to add artwork, plus free downloadable nonetheless life artwork to show on a TV.

It’s been slightly over a month since we put in our Samsung Body TV. I needed to present ourselves an honest period of time to reside with it earlier than sharing an opinion on it.

Why the Body TV Hype

The characteristic to show photos to make it appear like a framed piece of artwork in your wall reasonably than a large black field is certainly the draw. (Lastly, somebody discovered what decorators in all places have been pondering for many years!)

However once we had been wanting to buy it, Robert was involved in regards to the show and if it might actually ship on expertise high quality. Right here’s what we’ve found…

The Professionals of the Samsung Body TV

1. Attractive Design

• You may select your individual art work to show on it or select from the gallery within the Samsung Artwork Retailer for a month-to-month subscription price. (I didn’t do the subscription as a result of I like the flexibleness of importing public area artwork I discover… see the underside of this put up to snag a couple of artwork photos, if you would like.)
• The addition of an aftermarket wooden bezel body, which runs about an additional $150, makes it mix even higher into no matter inside design aesthetic you select.

2. Low Profile

• The TV is slim and sits utterly flush towards the wall like a framed piece of artwork. It’s seamless and solely attracts consideration to itself while you need it to. (Ours is the 55″.)
• It even comes with a really skinny, clear twine in order that it’s simply hid towards a wall.
• Its One Join Field could be saved out of sight as a way to simply handle different electronics that connect to it with out having to run a tangle of cords to the TV display screen on the wall.

3. Glorious Image High quality

• The Body has a QLED panel that amps up colours to make the image vivid and shiny. We’ve tried out the entire completely different image modes, and whereas our earlier LG TV is 4 years previous, it positively has out-shown its 4K panel.

The Cons of the Samsung Body TV

1. Set up

• Perhaps this TV is fast and simple for some folks to put in, however that was not the case with us. To be honest, our Body TV needed to be held on the wall above our hearth the place a brick chimney is behind, so we didn’t have the power to chop a gap out of the wall to feed the cable via. (We selected to make use of a skinny twine cowl on ours since we needed to run it a protracted size of the wall at completely different angles to feed it into our window seat.)
• The mount was tough, however that additionally has to do with its design to hold the TV flush towards the wall.

2. Not Fairly Artwork

• To me, it’s nonetheless very potential to inform the artwork show isn’t an precise portray hanging on the wall. When the lights are low within the room and also you’re displaying a lightweight coloured picture particularly, you possibly can nonetheless see the TV display screen glowing on the artwork show, which does nonetheless make it apparent that it’s a TV. It gained’t idiot many individuals except your lighting within the room is good.

3. Costly

• The explanation we had been prepared to shell out the bucks for The Body TV was as a result of it’s entrance and middle in our front room smack dab on the very focus. Being able to show artwork in that spot, was a giant deal to us. However I can’t think about shopping for this TV for any room the place it’s not a primary focus. The worth simply isn’t price that, in my thoughts.

General, we’re utterly pleased with The Body, and it’s been so enjoyable enjoying round with settings so as to add new artwork to it on a regular basis.
