Is The Frame good for gaming?

It handles casual console play, but the 60 Hz panel and lack of HDMI 2.1 mean no 4K at 120 Hz and no variable refresh rate. Serious gamers should look at a 120 Hz set.

Does Art Mode come free?

Art Mode itself is included, but the full Samsung Art Store library needs a subscription. You can display your own photos without one.

How does it compare with a Mini-LED TV?

Mini-LED sets beat it on brightness, black levels and HDR impact. The Frame wins on design, matte glare handling and looking like art when off.

The TV ships with a slim black frame. Magnetic bezels in other colors are sold separately, so check what is in the box before buying.

Can it be wall-mounted flush?

Yes. The 1-inch-deep body and Samsung's slim wall mount let it sit close to the wall, which is the point of the design.

The TV, stand, remote, power cable and slim wall mount are typical. Bezel color and any art subscription are separate.

Our take on the Samsung The Frame LS03F 55-inch

The Frame LS03F is Samsung's art-first 4K LED TV: a matte, anti-glare screen in a slim 1-inch-deep body with a magnetic, swappable bezel so it hangs like framed art. Art Mode shows paintings or your own photos when you are not watching, and the Tizen platform covers Netflix and the major apps with Google Assistant and Alexa built in. It is a 60 Hz panel without local dimming, so gamers and dark-room movie fans get better contrast and motion from Mini-LED or OLED sets at similar sizes. It suits people who want a living-room TV that looks good switched off and who watch in bright rooms.
