Until this year, Samsung The Frame TVs represented a compromise between television and Art display. They were very good at carrying out this second task, especially the latest generation models and their anti-reflective filter, but a little less so for the television function, that is to say for fully enjoying films, series and video games. With The Frame Pro, all this evolves so that the picture screen is also a real high-end television.

Even closer to a classic TV
To improve the brightness of The Frame, Mini-LED lighting is part of The Frame Pro. It is not Mini-LED with backlighting in zones behind the panel like on normal televisions in the range, but “Edge Mini-LED” located in the edge, at the bottom of the screen. The light then passes through multiple diffusers. The first feedback indicates that it is very constant over the entire surface. At CES 2025, a The Frame 2024 model and a The Frame Pro were compared side by side; the light power was clearly to the advantage of the latter. In this regard, Samsung has not yet communicated on the real gain in terms of figures: we should logically be between a The Frame television and a Neo QLED.
The panel is now compatible with 144 Hz, which makes The Frame Pro television more universal for high-performance use both when watching films and playing on the console. This is made possible by the move to the NQ4 Gen3 AI processor for even improved real-time processing, such as that related to HDR or upscaling. The screens are still just as thin, measuring 24.9 mm thick, and the concept of magnetic frames that can be changed according to your tastes and desires continues to exist.
The concept of the digital board even more advanced
In painting mode, 370 works will be accessible free of charge each year through the Art Store, in addition to paid protected works offered in partnership with museums. It is always possible to display your own images if you prefer. Furthermore, artificial intelligence now omnipresent at all levels in Samsung televisions allows you to create your own wallpapers by giving a voice instruction to The Frame Pro. It should also be noted that all the functions around table mode normally dedicated to this specific model are accessible to other high-end Neo QLED 4K and 8K TVs, including the Art Store.
To take the concept of a panel to the limit, the remote connection box now communicates wirelessly with the screen. This Wireless One Connect can be placed up to 10 meters from The Frame Pro, including in a closet to gain even more discretion. External devices are connected to this box. In addition, it links to the wireless local network in the best possible way thanks to the appearance of WiFi 7.
The Frame Pro is no longer a compromise television or just a screen chosen for its aesthetic qualities. Thanks to Mini-LED, image quality should increase drastically. We hope so in any case. As for the remote box, even if it groups and hides all the wiring, let’s not forget that the screen always needs a power outlet, preferably hidden behind it in the wall, so as not to spoil the result. In addition to the technical characteristics of the image which have not yet been disclosed, we are also awaiting the consumption figures of the screen in table mode, a critical subject in an era where we seek to reduce even the smallest power consumption . Has Samsung also made efforts in this area?
