Our take on the Samsung 43 LS03A Frame QLED 4K Smart TV (2021)
The Samsung The Frame LS03A is a 43-inch 4K QLED smart TV built to look like framed art on the wall. In Art Mode it shows paintings, photos or your own images with a matte, anti-glare finish instead of a black screen. It runs Tizen with Netflix and the major streaming apps, and includes the SolarCell remote. It suits people who want a TV that blends into a living room and don't need the brightest, most gaming-focused panel. Against rivals, its picture is good but not class-leading; the draw is the design and Art Mode, which cheaper 4K TVs don't offer.
- Art Mode displays art and photos when not watching TV
- Matte, anti-glare screen reduces reflections
- Slim frame-style design with included wall mount
- 4K QLED panel with HDR support
- Tizen smart platform with Netflix and major apps
- SolarCell remote charges from indoor light

Questions and answers
- What is Art Mode on The Frame?
- Art Mode shows paintings, photos or your own images on the screen when you are not watching TV, with a matte finish meant to look like a framed print.
- Does The Frame come with a wall mount?
- Yes. The LS03A ships with a slim wall mount designed to sit the TV close to the wall like a picture frame.
- Is the 43-inch Frame good for gaming?
- It handles 4K gaming and has a game mode, but its refresh rate and brightness are below dedicated gaming TVs, so it suits casual play more than competitive gaming.
- Do I need a subscription to use Art Mode?
- No. You can display your own photos for free. Samsung's art store offers curated works through a paid membership.
- How does The Frame LS03A differ from a standard Samsung QLED?
- It uses the same QLED panel technology but adds the frame design, matte coating and Art Mode. Standard QLED sets usually offer brighter pictures for the same screen size.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, the SolarCell remote, a slim wall mount, a stand and power and connection cables.
