Samsung 65-Inch Class The Frame 4K QLED Smart TV is $1,399.99 right now, down from $1,799.99, so you’re looking at a straight $400 off a current premium model. If you’ve been wanting a big screen that does not look like a giant black box on your wall, this is the one you probably had in mind. When it’s on, you get a 65-inch 4K QLED panel with a real size of 64.5 inches, a 120Hz refresh rate that can go up to 144Hz, and a matte display that cuts glare. When it’s off, it looks like framed art instead of a TV, which is the whole point of The Frame line. That matte finish is a big deal if your living room has windows or bright lights, because you won’t be staring at your own reflection every time a dark scene comes on.
On the picture side, this set leans hard into image quality. You get 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) with an NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor that handles 4K AI upscaling, so older shows and 1080p content still look clean and sharp. Quantum HDR, HDR10+ in both adaptive and gaming modes, and HLG support keep colors and contrast strong no matter what you watch. Samsung’s Dual LED backlighting and Supreme UHD Dimming help with deeper blacks and more even lighting across the screen, while Real Depth Enhancer and Filmmaker Mode are there if you want movies closer to how they were mastered. Motion Xcelerator 144Hz and the 120Hz panel are handy if you game or watch a lot of sports, since fast action stays smooth instead of turning into a blur. EyeComfort Mode is a nice touch if you watch late at night, as it adjusts things so the screen is easier on your eyes.
Sound is better than the basic speakers you usually get in thin TVs. You have 40W of output with a 2.0.2 channel setup, Dolby Atmos, and Object Tracking Sound, so audio feels like it has more direction instead of just coming straight at you from the bottom of the set. Adaptive Sound Pro adjusts audio based on what you’re watching, and Q-Symphony lets the TV speakers work with a Samsung soundbar instead of turning them off, which can fill a room more without a lot of tweaking. Bluetooth audio and 360 Audio support help if you use wireless headphones or buds and want to keep things quiet for everyone else in the house.
For smart features, this TV runs on Tizen Smart TV with Alexa built in, plus Bixby support. It works with Alexa and Google Assistant speakers, so you can tie it into your smart home, use it as a SmartThings and Matter hub, and control other devices from the screen. Samsung TV Plus gives you free streaming channels, there’s a built-in web browser, and you also get Samsung Health and a Universal Guide to pull together what to watch from different apps. Multi Device Experience and Multi-View let you mirror your phone, start mirroring from the TV, send TV audio to your phone, or watch up to two video sources at once. Buds Auto Switch makes life easier if you use Samsung earbuds, jumping sound from phone to TV without digging into menus. If you want a TV that pulls double duty as wall art, handles bright rooms, is ready for movies and gaming, and is down $400 from the usual price, this deal on the Samsung 65-Inch Class The Frame 4K QLED Smart TV is the kind of sale you grab and then forget about TV shopping for a long time.
