Samsung85-Inch Class QLED 4K The Frame LS03B Series, Quantum HDR, Art Mode, Anti-Reflection Matte Display, Slim Fit Wall Mount Included, Smart TV w/Alexa Built-in (QN85LS03BAFXZA)

SAMSUNG 85-Inch Class QLED 4K The Frame LS03B Series, Quantum HDR, Art Mode, Anti-Reflection Matte Display, Slim Fit Wall Mount Included, Smart TV w/ Alexa Built-In (QN85LS03BAFXZA). 2022 model year. Brand new on prime day for $2700 USD all in. I got deluxe delivery with unpacking in the chosen room. It's a beast and no good place to hold it so two guys is a must for unpacking and wall mounting. I am not a hardcore videophile or audiophile. This was a HUGE upgrade for us. The sound is fine. The picture is great. The remote is fine. The Samsung UI is fine (not as good as Roku by a long shot). We got this TV for the matte display in a very sunny room. No one is going to believe we have an 85" art piece 38in above the ground in the center of our room...the art is beautiful though. Even my kids like it. The remote took 1 day to get used to. The UI took 1 day to get used to. Watch the wall mount instructions and read all you can on tips and tricks for a smooth install. The instructions are not great so you have to figure out a lot yourself. I'm so excited to be able to sit anywhere in the room on a sunny day and watch football or basketball. Unless you buy a new best of the best TV every year, the TV functions of this will probably be fine for you. That said, I'm glad I got it new but still at a good price. It's a lot of money to justify for a TV. Also, Samsung needs to get it together with drywall mounting hardware and some better instructions. Lots of pictures...not a lot of explanations. The UI also needs an easier way to move apps and remove apps from the home screen.

I cannot believe Samsung continues to sell this $3,500 tv when there is a known issue with Art Mode!!I purchased this 85” The Frame tv in October 2023 because I loved the Art Mode. The Art Mode does not work properly on this tv! After contacting Samsung several times, a supervisor told me it is a known issue that is being worked on, trying to find a solution which would be a firmware update. 2 1/2 months later and nothing! It’s really unbelievable that they continue to sell this product when the art mode malfunctions.The issue:You can set the Art Mode to stay on for a given amount of time set by the user, then it goes to sleep, then the Art Mode comes back on when the tv senses motion. Most of the times it works as it should.**Sometimes when it should be going into sleep mode, instead it turns the tv on to the last channel watched on SamsungPlus tv. **Sometimes the tv just goes black and doesn’t come back on.Today’s call to Samsung 01/09/2024 - won’t give me a supervisor. Agent remotely checked my tv settings AGAIN. She said everything was correct and she will send a link to set up a service call…BUT…if service doesn’t find anything to repair, I WILL BE CHARGED for the service call. I asked if the previous supervisor lied to me when she said an update is needed that will come via new firmware, she didn’t answer. BTW…that phone call was over an hour long 🤬

This is my fourth Samsung the Frame. The TV is a bit pricey compared to other non-frame products. The only competitor "Frame" type product is Chinese (Hisense), and not as big, and doubt the quality will be as good as this Samsung. The TV does everything we want it to do and then some. The quality is outstanding, and the thickness is as thin as they can get it.My only issue was that the amazon reseller used an inferior freight company to ship. Although the box was okay, the item had been dropped and the LCD was shattered to smithereens. I had to send it back and purchase one locally due to time issues. The other 3 had been purchased through Amazon and no issues.

Mounting was relatively straightforward. Sits flat on the wall. The breadbox sized controller is connected to the screen with a clear minimally obtrusive cord.I use the screen both as a PC monitor and as a television. Switching between PC and television is not as straightforward as it should be. There is an art mode that is nice but you need a subscription :-(

Very good price for the Frame 85”, I have a huge wall and my 65” Frame just looked lost. This TV looks great and is much more proportionate to my space. It has an excellent picture and one thing I really like is the antiglare quality is far superior to the previous generation of frame. The menu is also much more user friendly than previous generations of Samsung TVs. I also like the mount system. It has 2 brackets and the previous 65” has a single bracket in the center.

The American standard is the wall studs are always spaced 12 inches apart vertically. The width of the holes on the bracket are barely 11 inches apart, which means that while you can drill the bracket mount to the stud on one side, the other side will always be into the drywall. To make it worse, the drywall screws are poor quality, and not really supporting the whole 85" TV. I have to go buy toggle bolt to ensure that it is strong enough. Making the bracket 14 inches wide wold fix the problem nicely.Picture quality is excellent. More expensive than standard OLED TV, but you pay for the wall art design. So that's OK. But Samsung should really fix the design of the wall mount bracket.

We put this in our living room and it looks awesome. Every guest we had thought it was a real frame. Picture quality is good.. We’ve been having it for a year and no issues at all!
