Considering Samsung’s The Frame? Here’s What You Need To Know Before You Buy
Samsung’s The Frame is a unique TV designed to look like a piece of art. It’s a popular choice for design-conscious buyers, but there are a few things to consider before you buy one. We here at Bat City TV sell The Frame and can help you with the installation process, including TV mounting and TV installation.
The Frame and the one connect box
The first thing to know about The Frame is that it comes with a separate box called the One Connect. This box, which is about 14″ x 6″ x 3″, houses all the connections for your TV, like power and HDMI. Think of it as the brain of the TV.
When considering The Frame, you’ll need to factor in where you’ll put the One Connect box. The TV mounting process for The Frame often involves a special recessed wall box to hide the One Connect box. These boxes are typically around 18″ x 10″ to accommodate the One Connect box and any additional components you might have. While this will allow the TV to function properly, accessing the HDMI ports on the back of the TV can be tricky once it’s mounted, especially if you don’t plan on running HDMI cables through the wall.
The frame on stone, tile, and brick
If your thinking about mounting The Frame on a stone, tile, or brick wall, installing a recessed outlet box becomes much more difficult, if not impossible. In these cases, you might want to consider a different TV model altogether. There are other high-quality TVs on the market with better picture quality for a similar or even lower price point, especially when you factor in the additional costs of installing The Frame with a hidden One Connect box.
Consider professional installation
We recommend professional TV installation for The Frame, especially if you plan to hide the One Connect box. Our experienced installers can ensure your TV is mounted securely and that all the connections are hidden neatly. In many cases, we can save you money on the overall installation process when you buy The Frame through us**.
