any issues with mounting it on a swivel mount to have if set to portrait instead of landscape?

[@bertilmagnusson3643]

is it possible to give me instruction in Swedish, BERTIL

[@modo203]

Dear B, do I still have to buy the frame separately even if I'm opting for black? Is the default bezel it comes with not considered a frame and so I have to buy the frame separately? Thanks!

[@curtvprice]

@@modo203 No, as he said in the video there isn't much point of buying a black frame.

I really appreciate how you took into consideration homes outside the US and how informative and concise you are.

[@logan.stark777]

One thing I really like about you is how fast you think. Have watched a few of your videos now, and you would make a good co-worker in the field. After approximately four or five years as an installation and service technician transferred out of the field and into the store. Home and system design as well as sales. There some jobs I would have liked to have done the install myself, but for the most part was much happier in design and sales. Keep up the good work.

Just got our Frame TV this week and we are art enthusiasts. This video was great !! Thank you !!!

[@mariairiondo4133]

I very much appreciate how concise you are. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so well.

[@jondbell]

Just installed a 32 frame tv as a computer monitor. Life changing. So clean.

[@DominikNajberg]

Isn't it too bright? If not I bet it looks awesome!

[@madpaddy21]

The best revview. Excellent.. Espically as i live overseas and you cover the fact that we have brick walls. Just bought one of these TVs

[@crazyhawaiian40]

Thank you for doing this video. This was literally the most helpful video I have found. It answers all my questions and follow up questions!

[@unckieherb]

THANK YOU! I thought I was going to go crazy looking for these specific answers.

[@BTheInstaller]

Awesome. Just installed the 2021 frame, check it out.

[@unckieherb]

@@BTheInstaller I've ordered a 65" for my sitting room and three 43" for the bedrooms in my new home here in Australia. I'm hoping the installer here is half as good as you are!

[@JohnCauldwell]

That bit at 5 min has solved the issue about remote etc is really good to know

[@hgodtx]

So helpful! The remote using Bluetooth was a huge help in understanding if I could mount the box in the adjacent room!

Can you do an updated review of the 2021 version? Love your channel!

[@bobalvey6525]

Great overview of this TV. Thanks!

[@GreekIslands]

Hi B, one topic you may want to cover with the Frame tv is that the 32" currently doesn't seem to have a 15m cord available for it, although if you contact Samsung they will tell you the VG-SOCR15/ZA is compatible which is not correct (I bought that cable and it definitely doesn't work). Also, it seems the 32" Frame isn't being manufactured by Samsung anymore, and most items (like the slim wall mount and longer One cable) are not compatible with it.

[@tlhewitt2631]

do you know why I can't find the 'in wall' cable for sale anywhere for this TV? Was it recalled or discontinued? Do you know of anyone that sells it? Its been out of stock for months on Samsung's website and other sites that sell it. It defeats the purpose to have a cord running down the wall if you're trying to make it look like a framed picture.

[@GuitarGuy5000000000]

We ran the fiber optic cable through the wall without a conduit, and put the One Connect Box in the wall also (at the bottom, disguised as a vent with a cover over it that allows access), I thought this was a genious solution, but after hearing what you said I'm afraid it's going to burn the house down! Is it really a risk? It's pretty spacious and breathable in the wall. Great videos btw!

The most informative video on this TV i've seen so far. Thanks!

[@davidainge7670]

Installed this in the uk today, great tv, thanks for the good info. Very happy 😊.

[@David-bl1bt]

I'm looking at purchasing this TV (I'm in the UK too). Can you spare a few minutes to share your thoughts and user experience after 3 years? Was it a good buy...or a grave mistake? What's good ,bad or indifferent about it? Do you still have it? Would you purchase it again knowing what you know now?

[@ninjaawesomebattlepower]

Great review and breakdown of these TVs. FYI, as you mentioned about the OLED TVs they will burn-in. My grandmother, who was a power user burned in her top-of-the-line OLED tv so badly it could not be reset or repaired. It only took one year of almost constant use, but like I said she was a power user who rarely turned her tv off.

[@tedd7028]

Yeah, you have to use the app that cycles paintings, if you're going to leave it on.

[@PorshaHomeTheater]

Excellent concise info...im seriously impressed and I've been watching a lot of Frame reviews. Well done, and THANK YOU!

[@nickgallegos430]

Got to do the comparison, I think what’s holding a lot of people back is the quality

[@trudys7676]

Thank you. I was going crazy trying to fix it. Followed your video and fixed!!!

[@KairosGaming]

Did you have to do anything specific to your camera settings so that the TV wouldn't flicker on camera? I'm thinking of getting this TV for the background of my videos, but I'm worried about about making it look good with all of the lighting in my studio

[@BTheInstaller]

It's difficult. There is issues with LEDs in that respect. I would recommend an OLED...

[@rodrigocartens7563]

Awesome video! Very good questions and super clear answers! Thank you very much. Keep it up!

[@jawjagrrl]

There are Americans hanging this TV on masonry walls, FWIW 🙃 For people wondering about the 2021 model, it is: -Much thinner - 6gb storage vs 55mb storage - does not support tilt - sensor moved to bottom right - black remote - mounts with 2 brackets, not one (more difficult install) Despite a challenge to mount level on a brick wall, glad I got the 2021 model. Not a millionaire, but probably adding a decotvframe product for a more polished finish look in a historical home.

[@ro1614-m7s]

thanks for the video! any issues regarding the wiring in the wall since the one connect wire is technically not “in wall safe?”

[@jameshiggins26]

Great video. I would love to see this TV vs LG's gallery series. I live in a concrete house and would like to get the LG GX and run cables in the wall. Cutting channels into the wall, running a conduit, mortaring over it and then repainting sounds like a lot of work. Is there an easier way? In fact, I would love to see you install a tv on a concrete wall and run wires in the wall. But I suppose you don't have access to many houses made of concrete in the states.

[@rudyek]

BTW, great description on the Frame. Good information. Thanks

[@xavier3880]

Greetings from France. Great videos! I’ve got 2 questions. 1- Do you plan to review the 2021 Frame TV? 2- I think you said there is a difference b/w 50inches and above and 50inches and below. Or maybe it was 55inches and above/below? I can’t find where anymore on the video. What are the differences please because I am hesitating b/w ordering the 2021 50inches and 55inches. Thank you X

[@avantgardedntl]

He answered all my questions 👍👍👏

[@JulioRamirez-ee5st]

[@klanbo78]

Also, are the 2019 bezels metal and 2020 plastic? Last question, I promise...... Loving your videos!

[@Cuddlycloud858]

Just bought the bezel, it’s plastic with magnets

[@susanbaker100]

This is the best and most helpful review I’ve seen. I’m now seriously considering the Samsung - 75” or 85” Q90T (vs Q80T) Series QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV. I don’t know if you have reviewed and done comparison Q80T vs Q90T, have you? About 5 days ago BB had $1500 discount, today it is $300 for the 75” and zippo on the 85”. You snooze, you lose. Now this gives me time to really understand. Also, primary purpose for TV is watching sports and movies (apps) and general TV. No gaming. In high rise, so lighting is key. TV will be on fully adjustable arm. I wish you were in Dallas TX, as I would hire you to do install for sure. Seriously great videos and I just subscribed. Any help would be appreciated.

[@KingKola01]

I have a 2014 65" Samsung curved TV and I have no intentions of buying this but yet I clicked to watch

[@rotemtalmi]

Thank you for this video. Question: Should I wait for the 2021 “The Frame” model?

[@BTheInstaller]

Not too sure about that. Samsung is working on some stuff and im about to do video on the general question of buy or wait. They could definitely do better on the frame and likely will have so e upgrades.

[@AhmadA0101]

Yes you are look at 2021 ces

[@roeeturgeman6398]

Yes wait the new frame tv 2021 is better

[@jawjagrrl]

Just got my 2021, see my comment on changes to it. Glad I waited.

[@ricog8209]

The 2021 model is thinner.

[@thudeets]

what about that optional easel mount I sometimes see it used with?

100% want a comparison between the Frame and LG GX. Apparently there’s an LG non-OLED gallery tv. Just got a GX that’s going up this weekend.

[@yanso5271]

Thanks for such an informative video! Does the TV get power through the cable connected to the One Connect box?

[@abutw0]

Is speaker built into tv or control box ? Great review BTW😊

[@jorgealbino-c6272]

Very good Video!! Any ideas on average power consumption when entering art mode? for a small room with a few sofas do you consider that the TV easily detects people? Is there any way to dismantle the cable plug to facilitate the passage inside the tube on the wall? Thanks

[@martijn3151]

05:06 Those lightswitches really tie the room together.

[@MrDBSV8]

[@jbielinski12]

Is there any way to scroll through the downloaded art faster than 1 piece every 10 minutes when using Art Mode??

[@terriewatkins9302]

Thanks for your help and information

[@narddogxman2265]

Great info many thanks

[@coreschwarz]

Hi B! Thanks for all the info. I was hoping you coule let me know if the wall mount rotates to a portrait view? If not, is there another all mount you'd recommend that allows for this? Would be a great feature to put the TV into portrait mode and flip it sideways when not in use to further the illusion of art instead of tv.

[@jimhowe4270]

By now you know about the Samsung Auto rotating mount that debuted at CES 2022 Here is the link for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGrUn3aEga2prbM

[@LooksEvil]

Is this non in-wall rated cable UL listed for in wall use inside of a conduit?

[@DesignsDM]

I just purchased the 50 inch frame TV and your video helped us mount it. Thank you! My issue is the art mode motion activation function does not seem to work. I set the artwork from free art, put motion sensitivity up to high, but it turns off art mode after a few minutes then never comes back on as artwork when you walk into the room. Any suggestions or what settings I need to have on? I’ve also heard it could be a software thing that needs an update patch. I just updated the tv software after unboxing it. Please help!!!

[@SaadNabil]

New Subscriber. I can't wait to have The Frame TV.

[@pauls477]

Fantastic information - thank you as you answered all my questions. One follow up question - can you recommend in wall conduit to run the one wire through? I am in Canada and the in wall one wire is really expensive.

[@brennamorrison5752]

Thank you - this is awesome info all in one place!

[@MakiPavlidis]

Thanks B, good run down.

[@Beatrizcaruso1965]

Thank you! Excellent.

[@davidmcdaniel1532]

Great review. One question; when in art mode is the tv consuming lots of power? Curious if the TV is "on" all day and consuming power and shortening the life of the TV.

[@BTheInstaller]

Good question. They are lights so they do have a life span. They're not on full bore so it's consuming some power. I'm not sure long term implications but I'm guessing they wouldn't add this ambient mode feature if it really hurt the tv. Many complain that OLEDs get burn in but some lower end LED tvs lose brightness over time. So any tv has a shelf life. I would imagine it would hold up 5-10 years like most Samsung.

[@4rzaluz]

@@BTheInstaller Every commercial display losses brightness overtime.. the difference relies within the maximum luminance output available when new.. So if the tv is 1600nits and you watch it mostly under 600nits, you would never notice the drop even after a decade thats Qled main advantage.. but it becomes an issue for low end tvs or Oleds which are used for hdr frecuently.

[@kiwirufer1]

As far as I know, the Art mode of the LG rotates the art pictures every 6 seconds or so. That makes it pretty much pointless IMO. So for those who like art mode on a regular basis the frame seems to be the better option. Thoughts?

[@PeterJames143]

Thanks great review. What I want to know is the difference between the ambient mode or art mode on the cheaper TVs. I almost bought a Q70A and I'm all about ambient mode and art mode but I want to do a custom mount possibly and I also wanted to save money. Until this review I didn't realize the Q70 was not as good. I just noticed that this review is from a year ago. Could you please tell me if these recommendations hold true for the 2021 models. Any indication for the 2022 models? Thanks a lot for your great information.

[@akankshabasu7606]

I love this review!!!🤩🤩

[@David-bl1bt]

1yr in, what are your thoughts? Would you purchase it again? Im considering buying it.

[@garretthinton2509]

install of mine went great, appreciate your earlier videos on how to do it. i am having one issue though, after it’s been on art mode for a few hours it disconnects from the wifi and then will not reconnect. i have to unplug my box and the replug it in to get it to reconnect. ever had wifi issues like this? i’m kinda stumped.

[@BTheInstaller]

likely it a software thing.... Samsung has pretty good CS they can remote in to tv

[@DreamGurlOreo]

Thanks for your conciseness. I just bought this TV and using it to display art but I noticed when it senses motion after I return to the room, it shuts the art mode off and turns it to TV mode. It might just be a setting, but any advice?

[@bruintoo]

2017 Gen 1 Frame TV have 2 cords (1 power cable + one connect wire cable). Later versions truly have one cable only.

[@eemanagramaminert]

When casting from my Apple devices using AirPlay to the Frame TV, it is super inconsistent. Do you know of others who are experiencing this issues? Being able to use with my Apple devices was one of the main reasons I settled on this TV (instead of a new computer monitor.) I googled around and didn't find any great explanations on the issue. Looking forward to your insight and thanks so much!

[@BTheInstaller]

Probably wifi related. Many people have far worse wifi than they understand. Do you have good coverage? Speed?

[@fedeeiconees]

Great video! How do you clean your tv frame screen?

[@pascival6468]

[@brockbradley4753]

Thanks B! Your videos are super-concise and helpful. Forgive me if you address this below, but have you ever run the wire through a lath and plaster wall? If so, what's the best technique for that?

[@bribri8785]

Hi B. Thanks for the great video. Question if you can help…where is the control panel located on the TV? Mine is already mounted but I can’t find the manual power button anywhere!

[@beefysuperdude]

I installed this TV today, with help from your videos. Thank you. The TV isn't playing well with my receiver. The audio is funky (soundtrack only--no voice). And I'm not super-thrilled about how much light it reflects. Hopefully, I can troubleshoot the receiver issues to get the sound and the picture lined up. Thanks for the videos.

[@NoLgU3N]

[@michaelchioma5977]

This is a very wonderful video

[@speedlever]

Very thorough review! I installed a 65 inch The Frame a few months ago. One thing I didn’t notice in this review was the sound quality of the built in speakers. Personally, I find the sound quality excellent. Better than my 48 inch Sony or my 43 inch Visio. In fact, I find it good enough that I cancelled my plans to install a 2.1 sound bar. I’m very pleased with the built in sound. A question: I wanted to put the cable in the wall, but would have to put some conduit in to meet code. What is a practical size for that conduit since the smallest connector on the cable is the one going to the one connect box which is about an inch across. Is just a straight pipe acceptable or does the conduit have to have a 90 degree bend at each end to keep the cable completely covered in the wall?

[@BTheInstaller]

I use a 2 inch non-split loom conduit. Again its very iffy on the code compliance. They just don't have a good answer in the code book.

[@speedlever]

@@BTheInstaller Thanks.

[@krishnachaithanyareddy8575]

are you experiencing any problems with the screen like bleeding, backlight issues etc. like many people are

[@speedlever]

@@krishnachaithanyareddy8575 I’m not aware of any issues like that. The 65 inch Frame continues to impress, even with the built in speakers. They sound full and rich, unlike many other TVs with a tinny, tight sound.

I have a question about the wall bracket I cannot seem to find. Is there any wiggle room for alignment once it's loosely screwed in? My house is not level (16th century farmhouse). If I use a spirit level to get the bracket dead level I may find that once the TV is on the wall it might not look level in comparison to the ceiling, floor and furniture, and so might need a few degrees adjustment, then be removed then the bracket tightened...is this possible?
