Our take on the Samsung 43" Class 4K (2160P) The Frame QLED Smart TV QN43LS03 2021
The Samsung The Frame QN43LS03 is a 43-inch 4K QLED TV built to double as wall art. In Art Mode it displays paintings, photos or Samsung Art Store pieces, and built-in brightness and motion sensors adjust the image to the room and blank the screen when nobody is around. The Quantum Processor 4K upscales everything to 4K, and Quantum Dot gives it 100% Color Volume in the DCI-P3 space. It suits people who want a TV that blends into a living room rather than dominating it; against ordinary 4K sets it trades some brightness and contrast punch for design and Art Mode, and the Art Store needs a paid subscription.
- Art Mode turns the screen into artwork when the TV is off

- Quantum Processor 4K upscales HD content to 4K
- 100% Color Volume with Quantum Dot in DCI-P3

What reviewers say
Owners like The Frame most for its design and Art Mode, which makes it feel less like a TV in the room. Picture quality is generally called good but not class-leading, and many mention the Art Store subscription and the panel's black levels as the main letdowns.
- Art ModePraisedOwners say the screen looks like framed art when it is off and often gets noticed by visitors.
- DesignPraisedThe slim profile and flat back are called out for sitting close to the wall and blending in.
- Picture qualityMixedColor and upscaling are well liked, but contrast and black levels are seen as a step behind OLED.
Questions and answers
- What is Art Mode on The Frame?
- It displays artwork, photos or Samsung Art Store pieces on the screen when you are not watching TV. Built-in sensors adjust brightness to the room and turn the screen off when no one is around.
- Do I need a subscription to use Art Mode?
- No. You can show your own photos and the Samsung Collection without one. The full Samsung Art Store library requires a paid subscription.
- How does The Frame compare with OLED TVs?
- It is a QLED set, so it is bright and colorful but cannot match OLED's deep blacks and contrast. Its advantage is the art display and slim wall-friendly design.
- Is the 43-inch version good for a bedroom?
- Yes. The size suits bedrooms and smaller living rooms, and Art Mode makes it less obtrusive when off. It is small for a large room where a bigger screen would show 4K detail better.
- Does it upscale older content to 4K?
- Yes. The Quantum Processor 4K upscales HD and lower-resolution sources to 4K, which helps with cable and streaming content.
- Can I upload my own photos to display?
- Yes. You can load your own images and show them in Art Mode alongside the built-in Samsung Collection.
