But if you live in a rental property and can't go around drilling holes in the walls then it comes with a height-adjustable stand as well. You can mount it on the wall and that’s likely to be the most aesthetically pleasing way to use it. They are thicker than what you get on other TVs and so is the overall build (it measures 969.5 x 591.9 x 196.8 mm with the stand) but that’s expected given the fact that it is meant to look like a photo frame. That should be partly aided by the interchangeable bezel, although I just had the plain black ones so didn't experience what it'd be like to match it to my living room. Samsung The Frame (2021) is a good-looking TV, as you would expect from something that claims to be a work of art. Samsung The Frame (2021) review: sound quality So it’s not really necessary to switch to one of the other presets, to be honest. It picks up the level of ambient lighting in your surroundings and pairs that with the type of content you’re watching to deliver the perfect image settings for you at that moment. To use them you have to switch off the default mode which is Adaptive Picture, I personally think this intelligent mode works brilliantly.

To personalise the image, you can choose between a few different preset modes including Standard, Dynamic, Natural, Movie and Filmmaker. I watched loads of different things on it from Netflix’s Squid Games to Finding Nemo, and it was safe to say that I enjoyed the picture quality across it all. Whatever resolution you’re watching in though, you can rely on rich colours, fantastic contrast and sharp, crisp details. The only downside to the picture on this TV was the viewing angles, from the side of the screen it isn’t quite able to maintain the same quality as from directly in front of it. Not only do colours look realistic but the contrast between light and dark areas is so well balanced that you don’t miss out on a thing, even in the darker corners of the shot that you would struggle to see on a lot of TVs. Samsung has used their Dual LED technology here which balances two colour tones, warm and cool, which ultimately enhances the accuracy of the image. The screen is bright and colourful for the most part, the different tones push through with impressive vibrancy while the blacks are very deep and dark, even at night. I tested out this TV for a couple of weeks and the benefits of the QLED screen are clear across all types of content whether that's sports, movies or scrolling through channel guides. The benefit of QLED screens is that the brightness is higher, they’re more power-efficient and they're not susceptible to burn-in. The Q stands for quantum dot, these tiny dots form a layer over the backlight to deliver the different colours you see on the screen. Screens that use OLED are made up of pixels that emit light by themselves, whereas QLED still passes a backlight through the pixels, but that doesn’t mean it’s worse-off. Unlike a lot of the other pricier options on the market, the Samsung The Frame (2021) uses QLED screen technology and not OLED, although these two types of panels are competing fiercely against each other right now.
Samsung The Frame (2021) review: picture quality Both of these features keep the look of your TV tidy and cable-free.
It comes with a One-Near Invisible Cable and the Samsung One Connect Box with just about every type of connection you could possibly need - from USBs to HDMIs and Component & AV ports. When it comes to the technology powering the TV, the Samsung The Frame (2021) uses a Quantum Processor 4K to deliver the picture and sound, as well as 4K AI Upscaling to boost the quality of content that was originally produced in UHD. There's a range of different materials and colours available, they just magnetically snap on or off. Customisable bezels are incorporated into the design so you can match the TV to the room it's in. Samsung The Frame (2021) is all about style. If you're not keen on paying the extra fee, you can use it as a digital photo frame to display your own photos as well. You will need to pay for the Art Store subscription to make the most of that though. The AI-based curation will even suggest pieces based on your browsing history. You would have to visit the likes of the Louvre or the Van Gough museum to see some of them up close. When you switch it off it transforms your home into an art gallery, displaying artwork from around the world. What makes this different to other 4K TV sets is that this is not meant to be just a TV.
