The physical hardware appears identical on the outside, except for the remote which now has the AI click to search button. The previous version of colored bezels are perfectly compatible with this frame.There is a significant difference in the responsiveness of the menus because of the faster processor. The 2025 model feels like a normal modern UI with its snappy quick response. The menu icon style is slightly redesigned and improved. The 2024 model on the other hand has a very laggy menu that gets annoying to use. This alone is a reason to upgrade!As far as picture quality, I noticed this is better with the deep blacks even though the specs are the same. The 2024 model was not ideal for video content showing dark grey when areas were supposed to be black. I wonder what Samsung did with the panel to improve this. I love the improvement in the deeper blacks.Art mode is amazing, and it’s the main reason I have the Frame TV. While I prefer OLED TVs for video content, this is decent for video too. However nothing else on the market beats this for rotating through realistic art that looks like the real medium of oil paintings, paper, etc.Settings tip for most realistic viewing: turn down the brightness and use the auto brightness and power save settings so it’s not artificially bright. For some reason TV manufacturers crank up the brightness way too much in the default settings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Picture Quality!

1.0 out of 5 stars Huge TV… HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT….DEAD AFTER 8 DAYS.

A.C. · May 25, 2025

I have service coming tomorrow for this 8 day old tv that was delivered and professionally installed for $265, mounted to my wall. After 8 days it just clicks and the red LED light blinks on the tv then goes out. Then after several minutes lights back up. I have reviewed all the service recommendations and gone through all the reset options to rectify the issue with no resolution. At this point I have Samsung authorized service coming tomorrow but they informed me that Samsung had a run of bad capacitors in their power supplies and that if it is a power board issue, which is exactly what it is according to all the information, that it will be 12 weeks for the part and the repair. 12 weeks. A $4500 tv that lasted only 8 days. Now a 3 month wait, most likely, for parts and repair. Thank GOD I saved the box and packing. I almost put it out for recycling but it was a really windy week. I am going to return this tv if they can’t get it working at this service visit. I have had great luck with Samsung in the past, my laundry and kitchen appliances are all Samsung and most of my tvs have been Samsung for the last 15 years. I guess my luck ran out with this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shoddy User Interface, Solid Aesthetically

Great tv but the interface is not the best and the app remote is awful. The slim fit mount is great and the size is perfect but it is a racket that the frames are sold separately. For a tv that costs this much, I’d think they’d include the frames or at least a better bundle.

Really nice picture, frame mode is crisp. Hanging it on wall was fairly straightforward if you have stud finder, drill bit and some fliptoggle anchors. Never had hung a TV on the wall before but was able to with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful picture, improved Tizen operating system and looks beautiful on the wall!

This review is for the 2025 model “the Frame” TV from SamsungOnce mounted it becomes more than a TV – it becomes a personal art statement. Have received nothing but astonishment from guests – some did not even realize it was a TV at first!The TV picture can look a little overly bright, also skin tones a little harsh at first, but turn off the ECO mode, and turn the picture settings to movie - and everything comes together very nicely for a very stunning and accurate palette to display anything from local news to your favorite movie.The Tizen operating system has always been the thing I hate most with Samsung TVs, but this one updated operating system feels much different - everything moves fast, apps come up very quickly and now it is one of my favorite operating systems out there. Only gripe is for whatever reason – the NFL App still is not represented in this TV’s App catalog and with the season approaching I have to attach a streaming stick to watch Red-Zone or NFL+. Luckily, I had a Google Streamer available and the included Samsung remote easily was able to operate the functions of the streamer so I didn’t have to use multiple remotes.The included remote is very different from most TV remotes, and the 2025 Generation TV remote even has a solar light charging function, as well as a “C” USB port to quick charge the remote should you need it – after 2 weeks of use my battery started and is holding at 83 percent.The TV comes with its own wall mount solution to hang it right at the wall, only requires a single wire up to handle all HDMI, USB, Power connections and running that behind the wall gives you an incredibly clean install.It was easy to put a frame on this TV, and while Samsung offers its easy mount frame in multiple colors – I opted for a more Substantial frame which I purchased from The Laredo Company on Bolo. The pictures posted with this review show the TV in the black frame it comes in and The Laredo Frame which turned it into a centerpiece in my Living Room. Is the Frame TV for everyone? Maybe not. But for me, I am extremely happy with it, and love the look that it gets from Guests in our home.Easy to recommend for your home as well!
