According to our television expert
We tested it ourselves. Read our expert review of the Samsung The Frame here.
The Samsung The Frame UE43LS03 is a thin TV that seamlessly blends into your interior. This television includes a One Connect Box and the updated Invisible Cable. Use this to connect the TV to the socket and your devices with 1 transparent cable. In combination with the flat design, the stylish frame, and the No Gap wall mount, the TV looks like a painting on the wall. You'll never see a black screen in the room, since Art mode lets the TV display 1 of the 100 available paintings. If you subscribe to the Art Store, you can choose from over 1,000 paintings. Use a USB flash drive or the Smart View app to easily send your own photos to the screen.

I chose this device because of its simple and minimalist design. The device can be completely flat on the wall or on nice tight legs (both are included). Because of a separate box for connecting peripherals, only one thin cable is needed to the TV (so power and signal in one). This cable is almost invisible and certainly does not disturb us. This whole exceeds my expectations.
The TV with all accessories is neatly and properly packed with clear descriptions. The installation is quite simple and is done step by step. The remote control (AB) has a limited number of buttons and that works well when operating the TV. Our Bluray player is immediately recognized (also Samsung) and can be operated out of sight with the same AB. The AB is then limited (no menu button, etc.). The operation of the Ziggo interactive decoder (also Samsung) only worked after a manual setting. Unfortunately only with a direct line of sight to the decoder. Moreover, you are really short of buttons for this, unless you only want to zap channels. The TV's menu is extremely simple and self-explanatory. The apps such as Youtube work very simply with the remote control of the TV.
The feature to use the TV to display artwork is fun and also works with your own images. You can even set different passe partout. However, it remains a TV and you are constantly aware of that. For the time being, we therefore always turn this off (also goes automatically after a while no movement). I wouldn't pay more for this feature.
The quality of the image is good. We opted for 43" UHD (no OLED or QLED) and this is more than sufficient. I haven't been able to test the HDR functionality yet, but the contrast is many times better than my 8-year-old LCD TV. The sound is sufficient, as with almost every TV actually. However, this TV still deserves a soundbar in the long run.

It looks beautiful in the photos, even more beautiful in person. The No Gap wall bracket ensures that it comes flush against the wall. The thin cable to the (best large) One Connect box provides all connectivity. This allows you to hide the box in a cabinet and empty the environment directly around the TV and not put down any devices. You can make a beautiful interior that way. The image quality is top notch and the sound is okay, especially for such a thin screen. Recommended!

TV sits beautifully tight against the wall and picture and sound are good!
