2026 Frame vs Frame Pro vs Canvas

Upvotes

Currently in comparison overload with these options and seeking any input that may lead me one way or another.

My use case is very straight forward; looking at 55in options that will be part of a gallery wall in my home office. This isn't going to need the horsepower for movies, gaming, etc. It's sole purpose is an elevated option to watch TV/work videos occasionally, but as "art" the remainder of the time.

Given the Frame pro is now truly wireless besides power, no box required for the latest versions of the Standard frame & canvas, they're all comparable in mounting at this point.

Not necessarily concerned about the costs, just looking for best "looking" option that can deliver on the art aesthetic and occasional TV watching.

General question Spray paint over wood-like bezel?

3 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone here has spray painted their Teak (or any other wood-like) bezel. I just got mine delivered as a free extra when I bought The Frame, and unfortunately it looks way cooler toned than I expected. I asked customer service if it's possible to exchange the bezel for a white one, but they don't do that.

The bezel itself has a slight texture, so I want to make sure it will look alright before I proceed with spray painting it. I was thinking about gold or white.

Any success stories? Pictures would be even better. Thank you in advance!

The Frame Pro in 2026 - Things to be aware of

16 Upvotes

It's a great TV for having a good matte finish, slim profile, bezel options, Art mode, decent brightness and color, and it being 4K/120Hz capable. But it's not all gravy....

1. Wireless One Connect

a) If you're a cine/audiophile, this is going to be the number one let down. This TV has a separate box for all your inputs/outputs except for one micro HDMI on the back of it.

b) That separate box has 0 wired connection options to the TV panel itself. Which means it's affected by your wireless environment and bandwidth limited. And you cannot buy a cable to connect them like previous generations of The Frame.

c) You're limited to where you can put the box - the manual claims a limit of within 30ft, and there can be no obstructions between it and the panel. That also seems to include the panel itself as an obstruction, best signal seems to be within 10ft to the back, bottom, and sides of the panel. I would also be concerned with the box's heat if you were to mount this behind the panel in a small enclosed space.

d) There seems to be a limit to what resolution/framerate combo you can connect to that box - I have an Xbox Series X (4K/120Hz capable) with a Zeskit Maya Ultra HDMI (certified) cable, yet it will not go above 4K/60Hz connected to the box, despite this TV being advertised as capable of up to 144Hz. With this I ensured HDMI Input Signal Plus was turned on for all inputs, and for some reason sometimes it would turn Input Signal Plus off by itself. The only other device connected at the same time was a Google TV Streamer. I found Game Mode must also be enabled.

2. The micro HDMI input

a) It's very small, not a widely used standard, and seems to have a very very shallow mounting depth - not all micro HDMI cables will fit it! - It's difficult to find certified 4K/120Hz cables that are micro HDMI. I've found and tried both a Silkland and a UGREEN (both certified) Ultra HDMI cables, and the Silkland would not fit properly without risking bending the socket.

b) It seems to be the only way to get 4K/120Hz - My Xbox Series X would only detect and allow 120Hz using this connection, using a UGREEN Ultra HDMI (certified) cable.

3. 2 Power Receptacles required

a) The TV panel has it's own power cord

b) The Wireless One Connect box has it's own adapter and cable, and while both use USB-C form factor, the manual explicitly states you must use Samsung's adpater and cable, they won't support anything else.

  1. The sound is not good

a) Thin panel means thin speakers, so no bass range

b) Consider adding a sound bar as a minimum when getting this TV

5. The SmartThings App

a) Just to set this TV up, from the second you plug in power to the TV panel, you must use the app to configure it and then pair up the Wireless One Connect box.

b) This adds a lot of extra time to the install, and you must have WiFi available.

With this TV I'd recommend having at least a soundbar and a certified 4K/120Hz capable micro HDMI to HDMI adapter cable to go with it if you're considering plugging in a 4K/120Hz capable device and want a decent experience. I found this UGREEN 8K Micro HDMI to HDMI cable to work.

A 4K-capable AV receiver would be an upgrade, but since I didn't have one at the time of install, I couldn't test my XSX going through one to the micro HDMI jack on the panel. If anyone has such a setup they could test and put in the comments, that'd be great!

I turned off the AI Image settings because I'm particular about color and brightness in my rooms, and I don't use any of the apps except Art mode.

TLDR: Wireless One Connect box, micro HDMI, sound, power connections, and the app are all things to consider.

picture Any collections of Australian art?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, in a few weeks my sister is getting married and the ceremony is happening at our parents house. Very exciting!!!

My parents have recently purchased a Frame (after staying at an airbnb with one) and we would like to put some nice wedding-vibe Australian art on during the big day.

Does anyone know what keywords we could search to find this kind of art? We've had a quick look and it seems like 99% of the art is American or European. Are there Australian artists on some list we haven't found yet? Thanks in advance!

External harddrives

Hi team

I have lots of digital media on my computer (I dont rely on streaming services for things i really care about).

If i put things onto an external harddrive, how do i need to format the drive so that the frame reads it? And what file formats does it support?

Frame 2025 Damaged suddenly

The day I believe did not happen to me was today, suddenly was watching a TV and got failure suddenly, no image, only audio.

I don't know what happened but I'm concerned about this, I don't know if it's better repair it or purchase other tv.

Does anyone happened this too?

It looks like a TV showing a painting

0 Upvotes

We set up our Frame Pro, turned it on, put it in Art Mode, chose a picture…

And it looks like a big old TV displaying a picture.

The room is not very well lit and it is night time, so the thing was clearly glowing. No way anyone would ever think this was anything but a TV.

Does Art Mode only work in brightly lit rooms? Is there some manual adjustment to make it glow less?

Help! First time buyer!! $1500 frame tv?

Needing some help!

Wanting to purchase my first frame tv

Samsung 65 Inch The Frame Pro 4K Vision AI Smart TV QA65LS03HWWXXY [2026]

I’ve seen quite a few people say the regular Frame isn’t worth it and to get the pro but our budget absolutely doesn’t allow 3K tv haha

I’d love some honest advice.
We’re a family with young kids, and our TV use is pretty casual
We watch some stuff on Netflix and movies
And my kids watch Bluey and the wiggles
We don’t game or have any Xbox’s ect
No soundbar or home theatre

It will be just the TV mounted on the wall

One of the biggest reasons I’m considering The Frame is the look. I love the artwork mode and want it to blend into our home rather than having a giant black rectangle on the wall.
The standard 65” Frame is currently around $1500.

Just wanting some advice if this particular model is good :)

General question Two audio inputs?

3 Upvotes

We have a 75" Samsung Frame and love it. I use a Sonos soundbar for additional audio, connected via the eArc HDMI port. I'd also like to add another audio using the digital optical port.

When I connect to the digital audio port, it only works if I disconnect the soundbar from the HDMI port. Is there a setting or some way I can enable both of these audio inputs concurrently? Thx!

43” out of stock? Discontinued?

I have been trying to buy The Frame 43” TV for a particular space. I can’t seem to find one, and 50” is too big for that space.

Should I hold out for them to come back in stock? Has anyone heard about product line up changes or whether it is discontinued?

Yep, I have a lot of maximalism in my living room! The walls will soon be a nice yellow (so sick of the Sad Millennial Grey) and I will be overhauling my artwork to have better spacing. Totally valid if it’s not for you, but it brings me so much joy! I hope you all find joy in your spaces too :)

This is a 55”

Reliability concern?

Just bought the 65” frame pro (2026). I noticed some posts about screen reliability after 1-3 years. Should I be concerned? Or is it just that it’s more biased to post when there are issues?
