The 30-Second Version

The Samsung 85" The Frame Wireless is a style-first TV. Its art gallery mode and wireless design are fantastic, but picture quality scores are surprisingly middling. Best for sports and design-conscious buyers. Worth it only if the look is your top priority.

Overview

The Samsung 85" The Frame Wireless is a TV that wants to be art when it's off. It's a massive 85-inch Neo QLED panel that promises a lifelike picture and a wireless One Connect box to cut down on cable clutter. But this isn't just a TV; it's a statement piece for your living room, with a design meant to blend in like a framed picture.

Performance

The performance is a bit of a mixed bag. The audio and connectivity are top-tier, landing in the 94th and 93rd percentiles, so movies sound great and you've got plenty of HDMI ports. The display quality is also strong at the 90th percentile. But the picture quality score is surprisingly low at the 43rd percentile, and HDR performance is just average at the 57th. It's a great TV for sports and corporate use, but gamers might find the 74th percentile gaming score a bit limiting compared to dedicated gaming TVs.

Value & Pricing

At around $3,660, this is a premium purchase. You're paying a significant amount for the unique Frame design and the wireless feature. If having a TV that disappears into your wall decor is your top priority, the price might be justified. But if raw picture performance for the dollar is your main goal, there are likely better values out there.

vs Competition

Compared to the Samsung QN90F Neo QLED, you're trading some pure picture performance for the Frame's design and wireless box. The Sony BRAVIA 5 likely offers better overall picture and HDR. And if you want the best possible contrast, an LG OLED like the G5 will beat it in dark rooms, though you lose the massive 85-inch size and the art mode. The Hisense and Roku options are much cheaper, but you sacrifice the premium build, audio, and that sleek Frame aesthetic.

Common Questions

Q: Does it really need the wireless One Connect box to work?

Yes, the wireless One Connect box is mandatory for full TV functionality. All your devices connect to it, and it transmits video and audio wirelessly to the panel.

Q: How good is the art mode when the TV is off?

It's the main selling point. With a Samsung account and internet, it displays high-resolution artwork and photos, making the TV look like a framed picture. It's very convincing.

Q: Is this a good TV for next-gen gaming?

It's good, with a 120Hz panel, but its gaming performance sits in the 74th percentile. Hardcore gamers might want a TV with higher refresh rates or better HDR for gaming.

Who Should Skip This

Skip this if you're a videophile chasing the absolute best picture quality. Our data shows its picture and HDR scores lag behind many competitors. Also, avoid it if you hate the idea of a separate, required wireless box—it's just another thing to find a home for.

Verdict

Buy this if you want a massive, beautiful TV that doubles as wall art and you value clean installation with the wireless One Connect box. It's perfect for a living room where style is as important as the screen itself, and you watch a lot of sports or general TV/movies.
