Samsung's Frame is different from your average 4K TV. Its biggest selling point involves what it does when you aren't actively using it: it can display art, turning your living room into a gallery. The Frame has bezels that make it look like framed art, and its matte finish can replicate paintings more naturally than your typical glossy-coated TV.

Amazon currently has the 55-inch Samsung Frame on sale for $697.99, about $200 lower than its typical price. The deal is on the 2025 model that features a 4K QLED panel, 144Hz refresh rate with variable refresh rate, and HDR10 Plus support.

The Frame connects with a single cable to its included One Connect box, which contains a bunch of inputs. The box has four HDMI ports (two that support 4K at 60Hz, one with eARC for soundbars, and one that supports 4K at 144Hz for gaming), two USB-A ports, a coaxial plug for an HD antenna, Ethernet, and optical audio.

Like other art TVs, the Frame underperforms in a handful of ways compared to other similarly-priced TVs. Analysis shows they generally have lower maximum brightness, lackluster picture quality and color accuracy, and poorer black levels, all of which can negatively impact how movies, TV shows, and games look. Despite its drawbacks, the Frame might be a nice compromise between dominating your living room with a TV or hanging up a painting.
