Samsung’s 55-inch Frame TV is on sale at Amazon for $697.99, a discount of about $200 from its typical price, according to The Verge. The deal matters for shoppers who want a television designed to blend into a room as wall art when it is not being used for shows, movies or games.
The Verge said the discount applies to the 2025 model of Samsung’s Frame. The television has a 4K QLED panel, a 144Hz refresh rate with variable refresh rate support, and HDR10 Plus, according to the report.
Samsung’s Frame line is built around its art display mode, The Verge reported. When viewers are not actively watching TV, the screen can show artwork, while the set’s bezels and matte finish are meant to make it look closer to framed art than a standard glossy television.
Where the deal stands
Amazon lists the 55-inch Samsung Frame at $697.99, according to The Verge. The same report also lists Best Buy at $699.99 for the 55-inch model.
The Verge’s pricing roundup also includes a 65-inch version at Woot for $897.99. The retailer listings cited in the report show higher crossed-out prices, including $899.99 for the 55-inch model at Amazon and Best Buy.
Ports and connection setup
The Frame uses Samsung’s One Connect box, which links to the TV through a single cable, according to The Verge. That box holds the set’s inputs instead of placing them directly on the back of the panel.
The Verge reported that the One Connect box includes four HDMI ports. Two support 4K at 60Hz, one includes eARC for soundbars, and one supports 4K at 144Hz for gaming.
The box also includes two USB-A ports, a coaxial connector for an HD antenna, Ethernet, and optical audio, according to The Verge.
Trade-offs for picture quality
The Verge said buyers should weigh the Frame’s design against picture-quality compromises common to art TVs. Its analysis found that art TVs can trail similarly priced televisions in maximum brightness, color accuracy, overall picture quality and black levels.
Those weaknesses can affect how movies, TV shows and games look, according to The Verge. The Frame may still appeal to buyers who want a TV that looks less prominent in a living room and can serve as a digital art display when idle.
