Pros and cons
According to our television expert
- The QLED screen with 1 billion colors and a 100Hz refresh rate ensures a rich color representation and smooth images.
- You connect all your peripherals to the TV via One Connect Box with a transparent cable.
- You can hang your TV close to the wall with the included wall mount, much like a real painting.
- You have to request the removable frame from Samsung when you receive the TV.
- Due to the edge lit local dimming, black parts of the screen aren't always truly black.
Description
The Samsung The Frame QLED 55LS03A (2021) is a television that you can also use as a painting or photo frame. Thanks to the thin design and removable frame, it blends into your interior seamlessly. You can put The Frame on leg stands or mount it close to the wall among your other paintings with the included Slim Fit Wall Mount. You connect the TV to the One Connect Box with a thin, almost invisible cable. Connect this box to a socket and all your peripherals. That way, there won't be a tangle of cables running from your TV to the TV cabinet.
In the Samsung Art Store, you have access to hundreds of art pieces to display when the TV is switched off. Or you can choose to display your own photos on the TV via your smartphone. You never have to look at a 'black hole' in the living room again. The QLED screen of the The Frame TV provides a realistic viewing experience, thanks to the 1 billion colors (10-bit) and 100Hz refresh rate. As a result, every subtle color difference is displayed clearly. In addition, the screen uses a sensor to adjusts the brightness and color temperature to the ambient light.

- Manual(0.90 MB)

Finally a bigger screen without a black hole in the wall.
- art mode
- One Connect Box with only one thin wire to the TV
- Hangs nicely flat on the wall
- Because mounting has not become easier
Although we liked our old TV, we still wanted a bigger screen. However, all of us in the family find that black surface on the wall very ugly. An acquaintance told us about Samsung the Frame. My interest was quickly aroused. After a long process of reading and viewing reviews, we decided to order the 50 inch Frame 2021. The thinner design really appealed to us. Last week the TV was delivered and hung up by a 'delivery hero' from Coolblue.
INSTALLATION We are glad that the Coolblue employee hung up the TV. Compared to the 2020 version, the wall mounting is quite complicated: two plates must be precisely measured and fixed to the wall. There is no large template included, so with directions you have to measure everything exactly on the wall. It would have taken me a long time to do that myself. The Coolblue employee, however, managed this neatly. The first installation of the TV itself was very simple: you go through a number of steps. The TV immediately recognized the ziggo box, SONOS Beam and the Nintendo Switch. He did not recognize my old Mede8er media player. It is very easy to set manually.
IMAGE The colors pop off the screen in my eyes (especially compared to my old device). The intelligent mode is very bright and the colors are too saturated. Manually adjust the image to your liking with the 'Film' image setting. Now it looks pretty calm, yet very colorful. The black values of the Qled screen are of course not comparable with an OLED screen. In a non-dark room, however, the black values are not disappointing at all; in a dark room you see that black is not completely black, but quite acceptable.
SOUND The sound flows over my Sonos Beam. No experience with the sound from the TV.
SMART TV In the main menu you can list all the apps you use frequently. You can also place the HDMI sources there. The commonly used apps, such as YouTube, Netflix, Videoland and Prime video were already installed. Apps launch quickly. There is an 'appstore', but we haven't looked at it yet. Unfortunately, the main menu also advertises certain apps and other things. It's not large in view, but you do have to click past it when navigating the main menu. Unfortunately, that cannot be turned off, and that is very unfortunate.
ART MODE When the TV is off, you can project art or photos onto the screen. A fantastic function, because you don't have an empty black surface on the wall when the TV is turned off. This works more than reasonably. You can take out a (trial) subscription to the 'Art-store', where a large number of images are available. However, you can also easily put your own images on the Frame via your smartphone or USB stick. So I keep that 5 € per month for the subscription in my pocket. For example, high-resolution images of many works of art can be downloaded from the Rijksmuseum on the internet. The images are best if you put them exactly in 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) on the TV. The art mode looks quite realistic in a lit room. A breath of fresh air! In a dark room you can see better that it is a TV with backlight lighting. We ordered the free list this weekend from Samsung's promo website. That was an unnecessarily difficult process: there was a whole list of frames to choose from, but in the end the choice was only three colors for this size and version. Chosen for the Teak color. Curious what it would look like then!
CONCLUSION A very nice TV, and meets expectations! We are happy with it.

Absolutely recommended
- nice picture
- Hanging service is an absolute must
- Smart TV options are extensive
- Handy if Coolblue employees remind you before hanging up to take a picture of the sticker on the back with registration number. Is needed for request list
Fantastic image and nice to be able to choose a painting or photo when the TV is off

There is currently no better television available
- Super handy one connect box
- Beautiful Qled image quality
- Art fashion is really beautiful
Compared to the 2020 model, the 2021 frame has a thinner screen and a sharper image. In addition, the art mode has been improved with a higher internal memory. This makes it nicer to use your own photos
