Samsung The Frame Pro (2026) Review

The Frame Pro takes Samsung's popular art TV and upgrades the engine. Where the standard Frame uses a basic edge lit LCD, the Pro adds a Neo QLED Mini LED backlight for deeper contrast and higher brightness, so it works as a real television and not just wall decor. The matte anti reflection finish that makes paintings look convincing is still here, along with the Art Store and the customizable bezels.

For 2026 Samsung lowered the entry price and added connection flexibility. It supports gaming at up to 144Hz, 240Hz for a connected PC, and it pairs with Samsung's wireless One Connect hub so the only wire to the panel can be a single near invisible cable. That combination of a picture frame look and a genuine Mini LED panel is unique in the lineup.

It is still a design first purchase. At 2,000 dollars for the 65 inch, 2,800 dollars for the 75 inch and 4,000 dollars for the 85 inch, you pay a clear premium over a better performing Mini LED like the TCL QM7L or Hisense UR8. The matte finish also softens fine detail and can raise black levels slightly compared with a glossy set. Buy it because you want a television that disappears into a room, not because you want the best picture per dollar.
