Pros and cons

According to our television expert

With the combination of this TV and soundbar, you get a stylish home cinema.
Thanks to the matte screen and included wall mount, it looks like your television is a real painting on your wall.
You can connect all your peripherals to to your TV with a transparent cable via the One Connect Box.
You have to request the removable frame from Samsung when you receive the TV.
Due to the edge lit local dimming, black parts of the screen aren't always truly black.

Description

The Samsung The Frame 43LS03B (2023) is a stylish television that's only 25mm thick and blends into your interior as a painting on the wall. Because the TV has a matte screen, light barely reflects. That way, you always see what you're watching clearly and the paintings you display look real. You can find these paintings in the Art Store. If you get a subscription for this service, you can choose from thousands of artworks to display on the TV when you're not watching anything. With the included Slim Fit wall mount, you can hang your TV tight against the wall. You can connect all of your peripherals to the external One Connect Box, so there's only 1 cable going to your TV. The cable is 5m long. This way, your piece of art is complete and you have a neat TV setup against the wall. You can also request an interchangeable frame in a color that matches the style of your living room from Samsung. You can easily click it to the bezels of the TV. This way, your The Frame TV completely matches your home. Note: you need a Samsung account to use apps.

With the Samsung HW-S61B, you enjoy your favorite movies and series. The soundbar has Dolby Atmos. This technology reflects the sound to your listening position via the ceiling, which makes the sound come from every direction. That way, you can enjoy a surround sound without rear speakers. The sound from the center speaker comes right at you. This makes dialogues clearly audible. When you combine the soundbar with a Samsung TV that supports Q-Symphony, the sound of the soundbar is combined with the TV speakers. As a result, you can listen to a richer sound reproduction.

The Frame: I watch my favorite movies and works of art in

The TV hangs on the wall like a painting
No reflections from (artificial) light
Hundreds of artworks in the Art Store
Not a strong contrast

The Samsung The Frame (2023) looks just like a painting. As an art lover I am very happy with this, because via the Art Store I show hundreds of different works of art on the realistic QLED screen.

The screen looks like a work of art The TV has a 10-bit QLED screen. This allows you to view clear images with a lot of color tones on The Frame. This way, works of art on the screen are clearly visible and all the different colors come out clearly. Thanks to the matte screen, I am not bothered by reflections on the screen. The image remains clearly visible even in a lit room. The matte screen also makes works of art look realistic, because the QLED screen looks just like paper thanks to this anti-reflection layer. The contrast of The Frame is less strong than better QLED TVs. This is due to the edge lit local dimming, instead of the full array local dimming of other QLED TVs. Details in dark scenes of horror movies, for example, are less visible. There is also a slight haze around bright points in dark scenes.

Artistic design It's not just the image quality that makes The Frame look like a work of art. Thanks to the frame, your TV hangs on the wall like a painting. You choose the color of the frame yourself, so you can easily integrate the TV into your interior. Thanks to the included bracket, the TV hangs tightly against the wall, just like a real work of art. The One Connect Box allows you to connect all your peripherals with just one transparent cable. As a result, there is no tangle of cables in sight under the TV.

(Sm)art menu full of choices In the Art store I find hundreds of different works of art. I show all these works of art with a simple push of a button on the screen. The range is very large, so there is a work of art for every art lover. In the full-screen Tizen smart menu you will find all popular apps such as Netflix, YouTube and Disney +. This way I not only watch my favorite works of art, but also films and series,

Good products, bad company policies

Overall, I'm pleased with the TV and I would buy it again, however Coolblue service is really not what I expected. The TV does not come with the actual frame, you have to order this directly from Samsung. However, in order for Samsung to give the additional frame for free, they need an invoice with the TV serial number. Which you would expect to be Coolblue's invoice, but, this is not the case! I contacted their customer support and while they were kind and offered a solution, I found the solution to be quite disruptive. They want me to unmount my TV and exchange it for a brand new one, just so that I can receive a new invoice. This is not a complaint on the people behind support but on Coolblue as a company, since they could improve their processes towards their customers. This is not the first issue I have with them so it seems, and it's the reason I'm mentioning it, so other buyers can know what to expect.

excellent TV (please note when connecting live TV, see revie

Nice calm image
2nd chance TV in excellent condition fully met expectations
installation very simple except for 1 point (see negative point)
Took me a lot of time to activate live TV viewing. Afterwards, piece of cake

Connecting everything in terms of cables and installation took very little effort, just watching live TV was not possible. (Have fiber optic and connect the antenna (to watch live TV) via HDMI cable). But no image whatsoever, but all apps etc. were immediately there. Contacted Support from both Coolblue and cable provider. Both very friendly and helpful. But after 6 hours of tinkering on my part I discovered that I had to activate the HDMI port by clicking on it via "connected devices". Saved me almost 6 hours of tinkering. So this is a tip for other buyers. (After this I can also watch live TV via my provider's remote control). Another tip: if you want to turn off art, press and hold the off button on the remote control for a few seconds. Picture and sound are fine (I don't have a soundbar). Ultimately, I am very satisfied with the result.
