What makes The Frame different
Samsung's The Frame is a TV designed to look like framed artwork. When it's off, Art Mode displays paintings or your own photos on a matte, low-glare screen, and a motion sensor turns the art off when no one is in the room. Snap-on bezels in wood, white, black and other finishes let you match the frame to the room.
The catch: it only looks like art if it sits tight to the wall with no cables showing. That's what the install is about.
The Slim Fit wall mount
The Frame ships with Samsung's Slim Fit wall mount, which holds the TV almost flush against the wall, the way a picture hangs. A standard tilting or full-motion mount pushes the TV out from the wall and spoils the look, so we use the Slim Fit mount on nearly every Frame install. Because there's almost no gap behind the TV, the mount has to be dead level and anchored exactly right the first time.
The One Connect box and the single cable
The Frame keeps its inputs in a separate One Connect box. Your cable box, Apple TV, game console and soundbar plug into the box, and one thin cable runs from the box to the TV. That cable is the only thing that needs to reach the screen, which makes a clean install possible:
- In-wall: we run the One Connect cable inside the wall to a media console or cabinet, so nothing shows below the TV.
- On a slat or accent wall: the cable can travel behind the panels and drop into a cabinet or closet.
- Over a fireplace: the box goes in a nearby cabinet or a recessed box, never sitting on the mantel.
Power is separate. If you want no cord at all below the screen, we add a recessed power outlet behind the TV.
Frame TVs in homes and businesses
The Frame works anywhere a regular TV would look out of place: bedrooms, living rooms with built-ins, and business lobbies where a screen should feel like decor. In a built-in, the bezel can be matched to the cabinetry so the TV looks like part of the room.
"Ayoub did a fantastic job mounting my tv in my new house. He had great customer service, he was speedy, and he was able to answer every question I had in great detail."

Where to hang it
For a living room, center the screen at about eye level when seated. Over a fireplace it will sit higher, which works well for The Frame because it often shows art more than TV. If the screen ends up high, a slight downward placement and a slimmer mantel help. See our guide to mounting a TV above a fireplace for heat and height checks.
What it costs
