Hey, I'm JR, training manager here at Crutchfield, and today we're talking about The Frame
from Samsung it is a beautiful TV on or off. It's available in many sizes, all the way from
a 43 to a 50, 55, 65, even up to a 75-inch size. We have the 65 on display here in this video. And yes,
it is a great Samsung QLED 4K TV, and it does all the things you would expect it to do. We'll talk
about those here in a minute. But I really want to focus on what makes it special, and that would be
Art Mode. It really does look like a piece of art hanging on your wall, and you've got to think, most TVs
in most people's homes are not on most of the time. Your TV...obviously you watch your movies and your
shows, but when you're not, your TV is turned off. And shouldn't your TV look great even when it's
turned off? That's what Art Mode and The Frame is all about. First, yes, you can upload your own photos
to the built-in memory on this TV. You can do that a couple of ways. You can take pictures from your
computer, put them on a USB memory stick, stick them in the USB jack on this TV and put them on
the TV that way. You can also take photos directly from your phone using the Samsung SmartThings app
and upload them to your TV wirelessly. The TV has 16 gigabytes of built-in memory, so you can
upload plenty of your own photos. In addition to your own photos, you'll also have access to
many, many works of art using the Samsung Art Store. It's accessible directly on the TV from the remote.
On your TV you'll be able to go through and choose from the free pieces of art that you can download
and use as your TV's background, or you can pay for a subscription service where you can choose
from new works of art updated monthly, as well as classic works of art. There's lots to choose from
in there, so no matter your artistic tastes and styles you'll be able to find something
that makes this TV just look super nice. If you're worried at all about energy savings, don't worry.
This TV has motion sensors built in, so it's only going to display the artwork
when the TV is turned off and it knows somebody's in the room to see it. If you're not in the room,
it turns everything off and saves energy. There's also timer settings, so if you want to tell it
exactly when to turn on and off you can do that as well. It's going to look great on the wall next
to your other artwork, and that's because you can mount it to the wall using a slim-fit wall mount
by Samsung that will get this so close to the wall, it's practically flush. It really will blend in
nicely with the rest of the art on your wall. You can also change the color of the bezel that The
Frame comes with. It comes with black, but you can purchase teak, white, or brown bezels right from
us, just go look at the "accessories" tab for this TV right here on crutchfield.com, and that way
you can make it blend in and look nice with the other art and picture frames you have on the wall.
Most TVs need lots of wires connected to the back of them, HDMI cables from your sources, power cables,
maybe audio connections, things like that. You wouldn't want that stuff hanging from something as
beautiful as The Frame. To fix that, Samsung uses the One Connect box, a separate component that
mounts lower down under, in a cabinet, in a closet, anywhere else where you plug in all of your other
gear: your cable box, your DirecTV receiver, your gaming console, anything you might want to plug
into the TV plugs into the One Connect box. The One Connect box plugs into the wall for power; all
of that is done there and then you run a single proprietary cable they call it the One Invisible
Connection. You run that from the component, the One Connect box, up to the TV. It's a super-thin cable
that carries all the video, all the audio and the power, up to the TV. If you wanted to even put it
in your wall, you could do that, you would just need to run some sort of conduit in your wall
to get the proprietary connector up and plug it into the back of your TV. The cable that comes with
it is 16 feet long, so you really can put that One Connect box just about anywhere. If you need more
cable than that there are longer lengths available in accessories as well. The frame is an LCD
TV, which means it uses a panel of liquid-crystal displays to make its picture, and it needs light, so
there's a backlight. In this case it is an edge-lit, dual LED back-lighting system, which means there's
two LEDs" one for a cool, one for a warm tone, so depending on what you're watching you'll get the
color temperature that makes it look just right. And of course it's a Smart TV, which means it's got
all of the streaming apps built in, it even has smart assistants built in. So Bixby, Google, Alexa,
all of that actually built into the TV. It's not just compatible with your separate smart assistant
devices, it's built in so you can use that as that room's smart assistant to you know, talk to your
house, talk to your TV, turn your lights on and off, lock your doors, things like that, as well as tell
the TV what you want to watch. And like I said, it has all the streaming apps, so Netflix, Amazon, all
of that stuff, plus the Apple TV app is built in so that you can download and stream all of
your iTunes Apple content, including TV shows on the Apple TV+ app. You can also do something
pretty cool with your smartphone and your TV, that you can actually mirror what's on your smartphone
to your TV and you can mirror what's on your TV to your smartphone. This is great for multitasking.
If you want to do things on your phone and not miss a minute of what you're watching, you can
have what's on your phone show up on part of the TV with what you're watching on the other part of
the TV, so you don't miss a minute. Plus you can take whatever you're watching on your TV and
send it to your phone, so if you need to walk out of the room, go to the kitchen, that kind of thing,
you can take what's on the TV with you so you don't miss a minute of the big game or whatever
else it is you're watching. it's pretty cool, TV to phone mirroring, and phone to TV mirroring.
And as I mentioned earlier, this is a Samsung QLED 4K TV. It's compatible
with high dynamic range or HDR; it does 4K AI upscaling, so if you're playing some less than
ultra high def content, 1080p stuff, regular DVD stuff, it will upscale and make them look
almost as good as native 4K stuff. There's also Filmmaker Mode, so that you can make
sure movies look the way filmmakers intend them to look without that annoying "soap opera" effect,
and it also has a very wide viewing angle so it'll look great from any seat in the house.
And if you're into gaming, it is compatible with the newest features and compatible with the
newest gaming consoles, so it has variable refresh rate, auto low latency mode, Game Motion Plus, as
well as ultra-wide game view, so you're if you're PC gaming you can really get the
widest aspect ratio possible. Even the remote is cool. It is Samsung's Solar
Cell Remote; there's a solar panel on the back so you can charge the built-in rechargeable battery
using the ambient light in your room. If you need a faster charge than that, you can also
plug it into USB, but you won't have to be buying batteries to keep the remote going.
So if you're looking for a TV that looks great while you're watching TV as well as when you're
doing anything else but watching TV, The Frame is exactly that. It is beautiful. If you have any
