Why I would buy Samsung The Frame

If you're worried about your TV being an eyesore in your living room, then you absolutely need Samsung The Frame

Switched on, it's a stunning 4K TV set that is bright and colourful across movies, sports and TV shows. But switched off, it transforms into a digital photo frame or work of art, framed by sleek customisable bezels which adds to the gallery effect especially when you wall-mount it. If you pay for the extra Art Store subscription you'll be suggested curated pieces to display based on your browsing history. 

Outside of that, there are a few other features that make this one of the best TVs in the world. Firstly it's loaded with features like screen mirroring and the ability to control the TV through the SmartThings app on your phone. It also has motion sensors which will only switch the TV to Art Mode when you're in the room, saving power when you're not. 

Secondly, you won't have a big mess of cables because it comes with a Samsung One Connect box to hook up your other devices like your games consoles, it's a media receiver with a built-in TV tuner and loads of connection options that you can hide discreetly behind the set or in a TV cabinet.

And finally, Samsung The Frame is a smart TV through and through. It runs on Samsung's TIZEN platform which is easy to use and includes streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Now TV, Disney+ and catch-up services like BBC iPlayer, as well as Samsung TV Plus which is a free platform with more than 90 live and on-demand channels to choose from including CNN, Tennis Channel International and Rakuten TV Comedy.

The sound quality from the speakers is perfectly fine but we described it as 'a little bland' in the T3 review so you're probably better off pairing this TV with one of the best soundbars
