About the Samsung QN32LS03T "The Frame"

Hide your TV in plain sight
Hide your TV in plain sight
My folks wanted to replace their old TV when they moved into a new place. They were also dead set on hiding it inside a cabinet so they wouldn't have a black rectangle on the wall when it wasn't in use. It turns out, a Samsung Frame TV ended up being the perfect solution.

Art Mode transforms The Frame into a beautiful work of art when you're not watching TV.
The Frame itself, well, it looks like a frame. So it easily doubles as a work of art when you're not watching TV or movies. Display a selection of masterworks from galleries around the world. Or perhaps even more satisfying — display a few of the countless photos you've taken with your phone and never made prints of.
Movie night can be a work of art, too
The QN32LS03T's 32" screen might be small, but the picture quality will make a big impact on your favorite movies and shows. And its compact size means it can fit comfortably into a bedroom, office, or kitchen — or you can just tuck it into your gallery wall amongst your other art.
Thanks to Quantum Dot Technology, these QLED TVs can deliver 100% color volume in the DCI-P3 color space — that's over a billion shades of color. In simpler terms, it means that the TV can display vivid, accurate colors at any brightness level.
So many display options
The QN32LS03T keeps a very low profile when hung with Samsung's included No Gap Wall Mount. It allows the Frame TV to rest nearly flush against the wall, just like a real picture frame.
But you don't have to hang it on the wall to create an artsy look. This model has a special multi-position stand that allows it to mimic a standing picture frame by leaning back slightly. You can also rotate The Frame on its stand to display vertical art when the mood strikes you.

The 32" Frame TV allows portrait orientation, and its multi-position stand can lean back for a very artsy display.
A rotating digital gallery
The Frame includes a curated collection of 20 pre-loaded pieces of art. But if you crave more options, you can purchase individual pieces from the Art Store or pay a monthly membership fee for unlimited access to the whole catalog. And if you subscribe, The Frame will learn your taste and automatically curate your collection accordingly.
Show off your own works of art
It's easy to upload and display your own photographs or digital versions of other kinds of art, too. Load them up on a USB flash drive, or simply use the Samsung SmartThings app on your phone. You can use the app's filters to edit and improve your uploaded images. Further customize the artwork display by choosing from different matte color and layout options. Built-in ambient light sensors adjust the image to your room's lighting conditions.
Smart stuff
Ready for a movie marathon? This smart TV doesn't disappoint, with loads of ways to watch your favorite content. The major players are all there, including Netflix®, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube. It also includes the Apple TV® streaming app, so you can rent, buy, and watch titles from Apple's video library, and subscribe to Apple TV channels, all without connecting a separate device. The QN32LS03T also supports Apple AirPlay® 2, so you'll be able to stream content wirelessly from your iOS® device or Mac® to this beautiful screen. Android users can mirror content using the SmartThings app.
Samsung's slim OneRemote is one of the smartest remotes we've seen. It automatically detects, identifies, and controls your connected devices and content. It also has a built-in voice assistant which you can activate by pressing the mic button or by saying “Hi Bixby."
Already have a voice assistant you love? This TV is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home devices.
Personalize it
And if you want The Frame to blend in or stand out in your decor, customize it with an add-on bezel (sold separately) to match or contrast the rest of your art or furnishings. This pint-sized version even comes in a few extra fun colors that you won't find on the larger sizes.

The Frame's gallery-like bezel can be swapped out for different colors (sold separately), so it can blend in or stand out as much as you want.

QLED Technology: Samsung's Frame TV utilizes Quantum Dots to produce an immersive viewing experience with a wide range of color, exceptional contrast, and accurate detail. Quantum Dots are nano-sized, cadmium-free, finely tuned particles that turn light into the brilliant billion plus colors you experience on Frame TVs. Quantum dots are inorganic particles that resist wear out, so you can enjoy superb picture quality for years. As some TVs age, you may see that colors are less vibrant. Frame TVs are built to last and provide a vibrant picture even after long periods of time. Samsung's metal alloy quantum dot pixels feature inorganic materials that are engineered for durability and resistance to fading.
- 1080p Resolution: The Samsung Frame TV is outfitted with two HDMI 2.0 inputs (located on the One Connect Mini Box Mini). The TV's HDMI inputs will support 1080p (24/60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i video signals. All video signal are upscaled and displayed at 1080p.

QLED televisions can produce 100% color volume in the DCI-P3 color space, the format for most cinema screen and HDR movies for television. By definition, Color Volume is an index of how well colors are reproduced in richness and accuracy at different brightness. With higher color volume, you get a wider, more diverse range of color that feels rejuvenated at higher brightness levels.

Not compatible with Dolby Vision, HLG, or HDR10+.

Mounting Options
The Frame Design (Interchangeable Frames Sold Separately): Designed to be indistinguishable from a modern picture frame in every detail, the Frame TV is able to seamlessly blend with any room decor. The Frame TV's interchangeable frame is the secret to interior harmony. It magnetically attaches to the standard metal frame, allowing the Frame to beautifully complement any space. Available in attractive finishes, the high-quality frame options (sold separately) add an elegant finishing touch to any decor.
One Connect Mini Box: The Frame TV includes Samsung's One Connect Mini Box which connects to the television via a single 16' proprietary fiber optic cable. The One Connect Mini Box features 2 HDMI inputs, an Optical Digital output, and two USB-A 2.0 ports. The One Connect Mini Box provides clean integration of all your external devices so there's less clutter, plus allows you to update your TV with the newest software and features. The One Connect Mini Box measures 8.25" (w) x 1.375" (h) x 5.5625" (d).
- Proprietary Fiber Optic Cable: The included 8' proprietary fiber optic cable has a diameter 0.25" in diamter and each connector measures 1.375" (w) x 0.5" (h) x 2.25" (d). The cable is not directional and the connectors are interchangeable for connection at the Frame TV or One Connect Mini Box. When installing the proprietary fiber optic cable, make sure it is not bent at a 90-degrees or greater angle (this will damage the cable). The proprietary fiber optic cable is not rated for in-wall use, but can be run through 2" conduit.

The pedestal feet mount to the TV with the included hardware. You can install the Frame TV's pedestal feet traditionally or in a way so the Frame TV mimics a standing picture frame. The pedestal feet do not allow the Frame TV to swivel. The television weighs 11.9 lbs with the pedestal feet.
Included Wall Mount: The Frame TV comes with two brackets and hardware to mount the television on your wall. The brackets mount the Frame TV almost flush with your wall. The wall-bracket does not swivel, tilt, or articulate. The TV weighs 11.7 lbs without the pedestal feet when wall mounted.
Note: Even though the Frame TV can be used with a 3rd party wall-mount bracket (sold separately), Crutchfield does not carry any wall-mount brackets that will fit this Frame TV.

So far so good! Great picture quality easy to set up. The remote takes some getting use to but other than that I love how it sits on the wall. We have played around with the art stuff but not sure if we will use that or not.....
