Samsung 65-Inch Class The Frame 4K QLED Smart TV is marked down to $997.99, and this is the kind of deal you look at if you want your living room to look clean and pulled together, not like a wall of black glass. The big draw with The Frame is that when you are not watching a game or a show, it looks like a piece of art hanging on your wall instead of a TV. The matte display cuts down on glare and reflections, so photos and artwork look more like prints and less like a shiny screen. At 65 inches (about 64.5 inches of actual viewable area), it is large enough for a main room, and the 4K resolution means you see sharp detail in movies, sports, and games. If you care about how the room looks as much as you care about picture quality, this style of TV makes a lot of sense, especially at this price point.
On the picture side, you get QLED with 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution, Quantum HDR, HDR10+ with adaptive and gaming modes, and a wide viewing angle, so you can sit off to the side and still see a clear image. The NQ4 AI Gen2 processor and 4K AI upscaling help clean up older HD content so it does not look soft or blurry on a big 4K screen. Features like Supreme UHD Dimming, Dual LED contrast, Real Depth Enhancer, and Filmmaker Mode are all there to make movies look closer to what the director wanted you to see, with better control of dark and bright areas. Motion Xcelerator 144Hz and a 120Hz panel that can go up to 144Hz are also good news if you play a lot of fast games or watch sports, since motion looks smoother and clearer, with less blur on quick camera moves.
You also get a good audio setup built in, which helps if you are not ready to buy a soundbar right away. The TV has 40W of sound power in a 2.0.2 channel layout, with Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound to give you a more roomy feel to the audio instead of flat stereo. Adaptive Sound Pro tunes the sound to what you are watching, so dialog in shows and movies is easier to hear without you riding the volume all night. Q-Symphony support means if you add a matching Samsung soundbar later, the TV speakers can work together with it instead of turning off, which gives you more sound without wasting what is built in. Bluetooth audio and 360 Audio support help if you use wireless headphones or earbuds and want to watch late at night without bothering anyone else.
For smart features, this TV runs on Tizen Smart TV, so you can stream from the usual apps, use the built-in web browser, and control it with Bixby or Alexa. It works with Alexa and Google Assistant speakers, and it has Samsung TV Plus baked in for free streaming channels if you want some background content without paying for more services. The built-in SmartThings and Matter hub features are handy if you have smart home gear, since you can manage lights and other devices right from the TV. Multi-device tools like TV to Mobile, Mobile to TV, mirroring, Tap View, and sound mirroring make it easier to throw your phone screen on the TV for videos or calls. Multi-View lets you watch up to two videos at once, which is nice for keeping a game on while you check something on YouTube. If you already use Samsung earbuds, Buds Auto Switch makes it easy to bounce audio between your phone and the TV without digging through menus. Put all that together with the art-style design and matte screen, and this sale price gives you a way to upgrade your main TV while also making the room look cleaner and more put together.
