Our take on the Samsung QN85LS03HEFXZA 85 The Frame QLED 4K Smart Tizen TV

The 85-inch Samsung The Frame is a 4K QLED TV built to double as wall art. In Art Mode it shows paintings and photos with a matte, anti-glare finish, and a slim bezel lets it sit close to the wall like a framed print. It runs Tizen with the usual streaming apps, supports HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, and adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Against cheaper 85-inch QLEDs it trades some peak brightness and contrast for design; against other lifestyle TVs it offers a larger canvas and a wider app library. It suits buyers who want a big statement screen in a living room and will use Art Mode, not a dark-room cinephile chasing the deepest blacks.

Best forLiving rooms where the TV is on show all dayArt Mode users who want a gallery wallBig-screen buyers who value design over peak brightnessStreaming and sports in a bright room

Pros

Matte, anti-glare screen makes Art Mode look like a print
Slim profile and swappable bezels sit close to the wall
HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos support
Tizen smart platform with a broad app selection
85-inch size gives Art Mode real presence

Cons

What reviewers say

Owners of earlier The Frame models praise the matte finish and Art Mode as the reason to buy, and say guests mistake the screen for art. Reviewers rate the design highly but note that picture quality, especially black levels and HDR punch, trails comparably sized Mini-LED and OLED sets.

What people mention

Art ModePraisedOwners say the art display is the main draw and looks convincing on the wall.

ContrastCriticisedReviewers say blacks are greyish and the edge-lit panel trails Mini-LED and OLED sets.

Questions and answers

Is The Frame good for watching movies in a dark room?: It is fine, but not the best choice. The edge-lit QLED panel gives average blacks, so a Mini-LED or OLED set will look better for dark-room films. In a bright room it holds up well.
What is Art Mode and do I need a subscription?: Art Mode displays paintings and photos when you are not watching TV. Samsung includes a set of free images; the full art store is a paid subscription.
Does it support Dolby Vision?: No. It supports HDR10, HLG and HDR10+, but not Dolby Vision. Dolby Atmos is supported for sound.
Can I change the bezel?: Yes. Samsung sells optional magnetic bezels in several colors and finishes that clip onto the frame.
How many HDMI ports does it have and are they HDMI 2.1?: It has four HDMI inputs, one of which supports higher frame rates for consoles. Check the input labels before buying if you need 4K at 120Hz on more than one device.
Will an 85-inch Frame fit my wall?: Measure first. The set is roughly 75 inches wide, so it needs a wide, load-bearing wall and a mount rated for its weight.
