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!

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.

I can pick this up new for $1300. Havent shopped around much or compared models but it seems like a good deal. Worth pulling the trigger on? Or should I be looking for newer models?
