Who is this for?

The Samsung 55-inch The Frame LS03B offers the best of both worlds: a glorious 55-inch TV with punchy colors and incredible sound and a TV screen that can double as a beautiful artwork display.

What to know

Samsung’s 55-inch The Frame LS03B combines beauty and technology in a sleek-looking, ultra-slim black bezel finish. The bezels are customisable with varieties of colours and designs (Modern or Bevelled) available separately, allowing you to switch up the frame anytime you want. Fancy a new TV every month? The new bezels will magnetically snap and click into place!

Most interestingly, when you are not watching TV, the Art Mode will display the artwork from Samsung’s Art Store’s 1,400+ library collection. This means that you can have the Mona Lisa displayed on your wall, just like in the Lourve!

The Frame features an anti-reflection matte display that reduces glare regardless of watching TV during the day or night time. It offers a vibrant 4K QLED resolution while Samsung’s Quantum Processor 4K brings out the best in its optimised picture and sound quality. Being a smart TV, you can look forward to streaming your favourite show using Samsung’s Smart Hub, offering multiple apps in one place from videos to games and sports.

“In Our Experience” - Live ProductNation Review

One of the first things we noticed when we first unboxed the TV was how pretty it was. The design of The Frame was minimalistic and aesthetically pleasing—it basically lives up to its name with the really thin bezels, as it looks exactly like a very large picture frame.

Truth be told, it does feel a little flimsy, as the sides and feet are all made out of plastic and relatively light. Then again, being light means it can hang more securely on your wall, and the plastic feet that came with it in the box holds up the TV quite nicely. The “brain” of the TV comes separately in the form of the One Connect Box, so you only need one cable to hook your TV up to the box. All the other cables are hooked dup to the box, which can be easily hidden.

Samsung added a matte finish to the TV, so there’s less glaring reflected light even when the TV is placed right next to a window with plenty of natural light. This makes it easier to view the screen at any angle and any time of the day. The image and colours are brilliant, though it lacks a little in displaying darker colours. 

To tie it all together, The Frame’s 40W audio system with Dolby Atmos does its job well enough, though lacks a little in the bass and depth region.
