SAMSUNG The Frame Series Quantum HDR 50" 4K LS03D QLED Smart TV with Dolby Atmos, Artistic Mode, Anti-Glare, Customizable Frame, Slim Wall Mount with Built-in Alexa (QN50LS03D, 2024 Model)

The frame TV is clearly more expensive, but it has a perfect picture and hugs the wall. We have 3 in our house. When people come over they think they are paintings.

Excellent

The concept is great, and "Video & Audio Center - Same Day Shipping" was great to work with. TV arrived quickly, and the return process was quick and simple. Did I mention we returned it? The frame options and matte display are beautiful, but the overall functionality of the TV itself was nothing short of abhorrent. The "One Box" made a loud buzzing noise if it wasn't plugged directly in to the wall, which made it difficult to use in our living room. Had to order a longer power cable to avoid using a surge protector our extension cord. Could have lived with that if the TV itself and the hardware/software wasn't incredibly buggy and frustrating as all H***! I read some mediocre review prior to ordering, and thought I could outsmart this thing or some of the issues that others reported, but alas, I was wrong. TV would turn on and off randomly despite my adjustments to the auto on and off features using motion and ambient room lighting. It would never switch to the proper input when we tried to use our Amazon Firestick remote despite my hours of messing with the CEC settings and making sure the remotes were programmed to the TV properly. To make things even more frustrating, when I thought I had solved the input problem, and it would work properly for an hour or so, the TV would not respond to our remotes the same way less than 24hrs later. The flush wall mount is two pieces vs one, which means you need to have your measurements EXACT in order to get it mounted perfectly level. We ended up just using the feet while we made marks for the mount and by the time we were ready to put it on the wall, we were so frustrated by the TV itself, that we decided to send it back. I can't speak to other brands, but we have a Hisense Canvas TV in our bedroom, and we absolutely LOVE that TV. Display is just as good, IMO and the functionality is far more intuitive. Everything works exactly the way you expect it to. We bought this 50" Samsung Frame TV because the Hisense Canvas TV's aren't available in a size smaller than 55". We ultimately ended up ordering a 55" Canvas TV from Hisense anyway. If your intent is to use this TV as an actual TV almost never, then go for it. You might as well just save yourself the headache and hang a painting if that's the case. Otherwise, I would wait until Samsung has ironed out some of these bugs and releases a new model with an entirely rewritten interface. Best of luck!

One of the threads for screwing on the plate on the back of the TV was no good. I don't have the patience for return but it was a pain.
