SAMSUNG 55-inch The Frame Customizable Bezel Modern White (VG-SCFA55WTBZA, 2021 Model)

I rarely review items, however, this FrameTV is so fantastic, I have to tell you about it.As a wheelchair user, and an art lover, I needed the install to be done by a pro. After a minor math error, he remeasured, and the 65" Samsung Frame was perfectly hung above the cabinet in our living room. This model came with a TEAK bezel. Personally, I couldn't imagine it WITHOUT a bezel. It's hard to explain what a difference it makes from the black edge of the tv screen. Just know that if there's any way you can swing it, GET A BEZEL.We forked out the $49 bucks for a year subscription to the Art Store. Holy moly. Whether its the impressionists, watercolors, or underwater photo galleries, again, as an art enthusiast, I am at a loss for words. I'm still learning (after just 2 days) but I love the selection and variety in the Art Store and I even like adding mat borders. Color and size mats can create a new feel for some of the pieces. Im afraid my pics can't quite capture the actual quality.Perhaps the greatest piece of tech in this tech marvel is the little sensor on the bottom rt corner. Among other things, this sensor measures the ambient light conditions in the room and lights the art accordingly. I've read some reviewers say that, although impressive, you can tell its not an actual painting. Well, they should come visit our living room! WOW.Other notes: There's an app called Smart Things that you'll need. So far its great, and if you're 'one of those peeps' you can control most of your home from this app! Also, the install guy first thought that the bezel wasn't a fit because the little space for that sensor looks like its on the wrong side. WRONG! it just takes a moment to figure that its correct after all. Lastly, you can choose to name your voice commanded robot Alexa or Bixby. I chose the later since Alexa is like 10 feet away and who needs the AI confusion!It was easy to get Netflix, Prime, Youtube et al linked to this tv. Mostly, your'e asked to point your phone at a QR Code on the screen and its simple from there. Also, watched the beginning of Dances w Wolves and, I know im sounding easy to please here, but wow. That's a gorgeous picture.OK, ive raved enough for one review. Just know that if you're an art enthusiast and always wanted a rotation of stunning museum quality pieces in your home, this FrameTV will not disappoint.

I thought this was relatively easy to place around the TV. The little clips at the 4 corners were a little tricky but it was an amazing feeling when each would eventually give the little “click” signaling they were successfully in place. Does the teak bezel look nice and provide a lovely finishing detail? Yes. My advice would be to try to get it with the TV in a bundle when purchasing (I know that’s an option on Amazon) because buying it separately really does feel like a crazy rip-off when comparing the high price with the small, simple edging pieces one gets.

This completes the look of a Frame TV. I bought it because I wanted it. As long as you are careful it is an easy install. It does seem quite fragile and for that reason I did not attach the included corner pieces that hold it together. They aren't necessary and I expect I would have broken something trying. It is a little pricey for 4 pieces of plastic but when you see the price of the 3rd party frames it doesn't seem so bad. If you find a color you like buy it and call it done. If you swapped between multiple colors of these I expect you would probably break them taking it on and off repeatedly.

Let me start off by saying: This product is a blatant cash grab by Samsung. These frames should absolutely be included in the box of your $1500+ TV for free.That being said, the installation is seamless. Just take them out of the box and attach them to the TV using magnets. However, the magnets are pretty weak—any sudden jolt can knock them off. I’ve even had the lower piece fall off during a movie when my subwoofer hit just the right frequency.The pieces themselves feel cheap and flimsy, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they broke with too much handling. They don’t fit perfectly unless you clamp them down with the TV off the wall (which, frankly, I couldn’t be bothered to do). You can see in the close-up image I included that there’s a slight gap. This is exactly why I feel they should be included with the TV rather than costing an additional $200 after purchase.On the bright side, once installed, they look fantastic and really transform the TV into The Frame. The art mode looks great with the bezel, as shown in the photo of my setup. But if you don’t have this bezel, what’s the point of buying The Frame TV? Samsung essentially forces you to shell out an extra $200 for a product that completes the look they market so heavily, and it feels pretty sleazy. But if you’re going for aesthetics, this is the cost you pay.

Despite clearly stating that these bezels are magnetic, the product relies on a 1mm thin, flimsy plastic snap-in piece to hold the bezel in place on the TV. Without them, the bezel does not sit flush with the TV or with the corners.We ordered this multiple times and each time, these flimsy pieces broke as a result of installing them. If even one breaks, there is no way to use the product, as the bezel relies on tension from all four corners of these - if one is missing, there is no tension throughout. There is literally no way to install them without breaking them, as after they are installed you have to hold the TV by the bezel (otherwise you'd need to grab the screen). This puts pressure on the pieces, which causes them to snap off and break.The fact that these are $200 originally is mind blowing to me given how poorly these are made - even the current $100 price is an absolute rip-off.

Great TV. You get everything for a seamless installation. Template (I have it on the table, with the wall base, I'm also showing the TV before putting it up. Amazing how only one cable connects to the TV unit from the One Connect Box (Including power, power is only connected to the One Connect box). When you finally put it up, you just pull the legs and they come out. In the pictures I have it on art mode with a picture I took with my phone in the patio. This is the 2024 85" model with the white bezel.
