Samsung LS03FW Samsung QN75LS03FWFXZA 75 Inch The Frame Wireless Review

The Samsung Frame Wireless is a design-first TV. Its art mode and wireless box create a clean look, but picture quality is average for the price. Audio and connectivity are excellent. Only buy this if you really want a TV that doubles as wall art.

The Samsung Frame Wireless is a TV that wants to be art. When it's on, it's a 75-inch 4K Neo QLED screen. When it's off, it's a digital canvas for your photos or curated art. The whole idea hinges on that wireless One Connect box, which lets you hide all the cables and ports away from the TV itself. It's a clever solution for a clean look, but it also means that box is mandatory for the TV to work.

Picture quality is solid but not a standout. Our database puts it in the middle of the pack for overall picture, and its HDR performance is about average. The display itself is well above average, and it's a strong 120Hz panel for gaming. The real highlights are the audio and connectivity. The 2.0.2 channel Dolby Atmos system is one of the best on the market, and with five HDMI ports and full wireless support, hooking things up is easy. The smart TV experience via Tizen is just okay, landing in the solid, middle-of-the-pack range.

At $2860, this is a premium TV with a premium niche. You're paying a lot for the Frame's specific aesthetic mission, not for top-tier picture performance. If you absolutely want a TV that disappears into art on your wall, this price might be justified for that unique feature. If you just want the best picture for your money, there are better options.

Compared to a Sony BRAVIA 5 or a Samsung Neo QLED QN800D, the Frame Wireless trades some picture prowess for its design. Those TVs will deliver more impactful HDR and better overall image quality. Against an LG OLED like the C5, the Frame can't match those perfect blacks and infinite contrast, but it wins on brightness and avoids burn-in concerns. The Hisense U6 and Roku Pro Series offer similar mini-LED tech at much lower prices, but they lack the Frame's unique art-gallery mode and wireless design.

Skip this if you're a picture purist. The Sony BRAVIA 5 or an LG OLED will give you a more impactful viewing experience for similar money. Also skip it if you hate extra boxes or accounts; the mandatory One Connect box and required Samsung login for art mode are deal-breakers for some.

Buy this if your top priority is a TV that looks like a framed piece of art when it's not on. The clean, wireless install and the art mode are the whole point. If that specific aesthetic solves a problem in your living room, it's a good fit. If you care more about pure picture quality or raw value, look at the competitors.
