Panel type: LCD VA Refresh rate: 144Hz Brand: SAMSUNG Resolution: 3840x2160 System: Tizen Model year: 2025
The year 2025 can be regarded as a turning point in the world of lifestyle televisions, as for the first time in this category we have a design with Mini-LED backlighting. The model we tested, Samsung The Frame Pro (LS03FW), is meant to be the answer for more demanding viewers who previously opted for the classic The Frame due to its appearance and Gallery mode, but always had to settle for lower picture quality. The Frame Pro aims to change this balance of power – maintaining the distinctive, designer aesthetic while delivering picture quality at a significantly higher level. Let's add a couple of innovations, such as the odourless One Connect module, and things get really interesting. Has Samsung managed to create a television that finally doesn't force a choice between style and quality? Let's find out in our test.
SAMSUNG The Frame PRO - Our verdict
7.3
Overall rating
Samsung The Frame Pro 2025 is a television that brings a breath of fresh air to the lifestyle model segment. Its design stands out - a symmetrical frame, the ease of swapping decorative frames, and above all, the image effect on the wall thanks to the matte finish and special mount. In everyday use, it makes a great impression, and the Art Store feature combined with high screen brightness means that this television works well not only as a display for movies and series but also as a part of interior decor. It's also hard not to appreciate the gadgetry addition of the wireless One Connect box – the ability to hide the port box anywhere in the living room offers considerable design flexibility. In terms of image quality, The Frame Pro holds up quite well. Brightness levels of up to 900 nits in peak scenes allow for enjoyable HDR effects even in brightly lit rooms, and the VA panel provides stable and solid contrast. On the other hand, there are quite a few question marks. Primarily - the naming. The "Pro" designation and the Mini-LED suffix suggest that we are dealing with an advanced local dimming system. Meanwhile, in the 65-inch variant, we counted only 24 zones, all located at the bottom edge of the screen. The effect after reading this review is probably already known to you. The blacks and contrast are decent, but far from what Mini-LED televisions with full, dense backlighting offer. The issue with the wireless module also raises mixed feelings. While it does work reasonably well for connecting an amplifier or decoder, gamers and PC users will quickly find that direct connection to the television via MICRO-HDMI is a necessity. Otherwise, they have to contend with high input lag and poorer readability of fonts. Therefore, it's hard to call The Frame Pro "Pro" in the strictly technological sense – it would be more appropriate to say it’s “Frame Plus.” A great lifestyle television, refined and visually striking, that will successfully find its place in a bright, modern living room, but at the same time, it doesn’t reach the level of quality we might expect from a product labelled as Mini-LED. This is a device that will impress with its design and additional features but will leave a slight sense of disappointment for those who anticipated a true breakthrough in image quality.

One could say that The Frame Pro is not significantly different from the classic The Frame. We still have the characteristic symmetrical black frame typical of this series. It can be replaced with accessory frames that Samsung sells separately – often appearing in promotions for a symbolic amount, which further encourages personalisation. The package also includes classic legs with adjustable height, although it’s hard to expect that many users will actually use them. The very idea of The Frame is based on having the television hang on the wall and imitate a painting. Samsung has taken care of the appropriate additions – in the box, we get a special mount that allows the screen to be hung flat, almost flush with the wall. The design of the back panel has been created in such a way that the whole unit does not protrude, and when the Art Store mode is activated, the television truly resembles a hanging piece of art.
What distinguishes The Frame Pro from both its competitors and its “non-Pro” brother is the new, wireless Wiralles One Connect Box module. Thanks to this, all cables connect not to the television, but to a separate box that can be placed anywhere in the room – within a range of about 10 metres. To the TV itself, we only bring a power cable, which can easily be hidden in the wall. This solution not only simplifies installation but also helps maintain aesthetic cleanliness – without dangling cables and the need to install additional shelves under the screen. All these elements make The Frame Pro present itself as a truly premium device, and it’s hard to deny that.

Visibility of details in the lights:
Samsung The Frame Pro has officially been labelled as a Mini-LED backlit television, but… is it really? In our tested 65-inch variant, we counted only 24 dimming zones. The number itself seems modest, but more important is their distribution – all of them are along the lower edge of the screen. In practice, this means that The Frame Pro should be treated more as edge-lit than a full-fledged Mini-LED with dense, direct local dimming. Samsung has previously employed a similar manoeuvre, renaming the Q70 series to Neo QLED televisions – mainly for marketing purposes. How does this translate to picture quality? Black levels and contrast appear satisfactory, but there are no effects known from televisions with advanced local dimming as seen in the QN80 series. Much of this is due to the high-spec VA panel, which provides solid parameters on its own – a contrast ratio of around 5000:1 looks good and importantly, is stable, with minimal fluctuations. Nevertheless, if someone purchases The Frame Pro hoping to experience "true Mini-LED," they might be disappointed. We ourselves expected this model to significantly differentiate itself from the classic The Frame series in terms of contrast quality; however, the differences turned out to be smaller or even non-existent than the “Pro” designation might suggest.

Samsung The Frame Pro is one of the relatively bright televisions. In synthetic tests, we managed to achieve values around 900 nits, which is quite a decent result for a lifestyle model. In full-screen scenes, such as the frame from the movie The Meg or the opening sequence in Life of Pi, the brightness maintained a level of 700–800 nits. These values allow you to fully enjoy the HDR effects and capture their cinematic magic. However, the situation complicates when smaller, point light sources appear on the screen. The edge lighting used here, equipped with the ability to local dim whole strips, does not handle them very well. It happens that small elements are overly darkened, which weakens the effect, or conversely – they become heavily brightened, but at the cost of losing black depth in that part of the image. This can be compared to light halos reminiscent of a laser beam spreading in dense fog – an effect that is visible and bright but at the same time not very natural and distracting. Fortunately, the colour aspect performs better. Thanks to the use of a quantum dot filter (QLED), the colours are saturated, and the reproduction of the DCI-P3 palette reaches over 92%. Generally, movies or series watched in HDR on The Frame Pro present a rich colour palette, even if contrast and the performance of the lighting algorithms can sometimes draw our attention away.
Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)
Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)
Even though The Frame Pro uses edge lighting, the experience of watching films can be considered truly satisfying. Even in more difficult scenes, the picture maintained its quality, and during screenings of films like Mr and Billy Lynn, the full-screen, bright shots looked convincing. Details in the brightest areas were well visible, and one could really feel the cinematic magic of HDR. However, we suspect that if Samsung had actually opted for full Mini-LED backlighting, the effect would have been even better.

HDR luminance
The Frame Pro is a television bright enough to accurately reproduce details in whites, but that doesn't mean that dynamic metadata adds nothing to the picture. On the contrary – in tests, the difference between classic HDR10 and dynamic HDR10+ was clearly visible. Samsung's proprietary format can significantly enhance the viewing of scenes, adding depth, detail, and naturalness. The same material appeared more mature, and watching became simply more enjoyable. It's pleasing to see that HDR10+ is increasingly appearing in streaming services and gaining popularity. Dolby Vision still dominates globally, but there's no longer any reason to worry that productions in HDR10+ will be hard to find, which benefits ChooseTV.

Factory color reproduction
5.5/10
The best results were, of course, achieved in Filmmaker mode, which immediately showed that Samsung had put effort into the factory settings. In SDR content – the most commonly viewed materials – The Frame Pro performed really well. The white balance and gamma were almost perfectly set, making the image look natural and cohesive. Yes, there were some noticeable errors, particularly in skin tones and reds, which could be overly saturated, giving everything a slightly "warmed up" character, but in everyday use, it didn't hinder the viewing experience too much. For HDR content, the situation was similar regarding the white balance. It was at a good level, however, the biggest issue turned out to be managing brightness. The EOTF curve was set in such a way that in many scenes the image appeared blown out, and the brightest areas lost detail and resulted in uniform patches of light. This severely affected realism and made colours appear very oversharpened. Fortunately, Samsung provides the option for manual adjustment of the curve in their TVs, so we opted for calibration and its results can be seen below.
Color reproduction after calibration
8.5/10
After calibration, the SDR mode looks almost perfect. We managed to eliminate the overly intense red saturation that previously gave the image a somewhat excessively warm character. The colours became more balanced, which translated into a natural and pleasant viewing experience for everyday content – from television to movies and series from streaming services or materials on YouTube. In HDR mode, the EOTF curve required the most work, as the factory settings caused excessive clipping of the entire image. The calibration significantly helped to "tame" this issue – the image stopped being overexposed, and details in the bright areas became more visible. Of course, the limits are set by the design of the television itself, as edge lighting reveals its limitations, and even the smallest elements of light can still appear overly bright or blend into the background. However, this is a matter of technology, not just calibration. After the correction, The Frame Pro is much more enjoyable to watch, and it is definitely worth considering if you want to make the most of the television's capabilities.
SAMSUNG The Frame PRO - Smoothness of tonal transitions
9.5/10
Here Samsung has truly earned huge applause. The Frame Pro has proven to be one of the best TVs of the year in terms of smooth tonal transitions. During testing, we practically couldn't spot any clear issues with colour blending – the gradients looked smooth and natural, and the typical “banding” found in many TVs simply did not occur. Indeed, in very dark scenes, you can notice minimal imperfections, but you really have to squint to see them – even the keen eye of our editorial team struggled with this. So in everyday viewing, there's no chance of anything interrupting your experience. This is a huge plus, as it's in darker scenes where TVs typically struggle the most. You won't experience that here.
Image scaling and smoothness of tonal transitions
7.5/10
Smooth transition function
Image without overscan on the SD signal
Although in 4K HDR materials the fluidity of tonal transitions in the ChooseTV Pro is not a problem at all, naturally with weaker signal quality – such as with television, HD materials, or older Full HD films – imperfections may occur. Therefore, it's crucial how the television handles these limitations thanks to the image processor. The noise reduction feature works really effectively here. At the medium setting, it eliminates unwanted bands or artifacts, smoothing the image in a visible yet not overdone way. However, it's important to remember that Samsung has a tendency to be aggressive – even at the lowest level of this feature, it can "eat" film grain. So, it's wise to use it with caution and adjust the settings according to the material being watched.
The upscaling itself is of a high standard. The ChooseTV Pro effectively boosts older materials to a native 4K resolution, maintaining good sharpness and clarity. Movies and series in lower quality simply look better here. However, it's worth mentioning a minor downside – typical for many Samsung televisions. With very old sources in poor quality, you may notice some cropping of the image edges on the left side of the screen. It's not a problem that will ruin the viewing experience, but it's good to know that it may occur.

The fluidity of movement in The Frame Pro is not only due to the panel itself, which operates at a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz, but also the image processor and motion smoothing system. It is thanks to this that we can adjust the way movies or sports broadcasts are displayed to our own preferences. Available are sliders for blur reduction and motion judder reduction – the first function enhances the sharpness of fast movements, while the second helps to soften the effect of the "jumping" image during camera pans. Everyone can choose between a cinematic character of motion and a smoother, more "television" style.

The smear performance turned out better than one might expect from a VA panel, which usually isn't the strongest aspect in this category. During testing, The Frame Pro performed very well – the image remained sharp, and most motion sequences looked natural and without major complaints. Only in really difficult scenes, with a fast-moving object on a dark background, could slight traces of smearing be noticed, but they were not prominent enough to ruin the viewing experience. Overall, in everyday use, the TV presents itself quite solidly in this category.

Samsung The Frame Pro doesn’t pretend to be just a “living room” TV; gamers will also find something for themselves here. The manufacturer has ensured a full package of gaming features: we have support for variable refresh rate (VRR), auto low latency mode (ALLM), refresh rates up to 144 Hz, and compatibility with both G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro. Additionally, there’s the well-known Game Bar panel, which is a quick menu where you can check key parameters on-the-fly – from refresh rates to active image processing modes. Are there downsides? Yes, The Frame Pro doesn’t support Dolby Vision in game mode, but it’s hard to consider this a serious issue – most gamers use HDR10 anyway... so the HGIG mode. Exactly. The biggest surprise was the latest software update. Samsung... completely removed this option from The Frame PRO. In practice, this means that the TV independently interprets HDR tone mapping in games, and the user cannot enable settings designed with consoles in mind. This is a step backwards, which may disappoint more aware gamers hoping for full compliance with HGiG guidelines. We can only hope that this mistake will be quickly fixed.
An interesting feature of The Frame Pro is also the unusual placement of HDMI 2.1 ports. We have as many as five at our disposal – four are located in the One Connect module, and the fifth, in micro HDMI form, is located directly on the TV. This solution is quite unusual but very practical. Samsung clearly suggests that this is the port to connect your console or computer. Why? Because it minimises any potential delays associated with communication through the wireless One Connect, and in gaming, every millisecond counts. We have written separately about input lag, but we can reveal here that by connecting the equipment directly to the TV, we get the absolute maximum response speed from it.
SAMSUNG The Frame PRO - Input lag
9.9/10
The Frame Pro in wired mode records really great results. Latencies remain in the range of 9–14 ms, which ensures smooth and immediate response in games. These values can easily be considered reference standards – even in dynamic titles, the action proceeds without delays, and the controls are precise and predictable. The situation changes when the wireless One Connect module comes into play. While it allows you to hide cables and enjoy greater freedom in room arrangement, it significantly worsens input lag results. In tests conducted at a distance of 2–3 meters from the television, without any furniture obstacles, values jumped to 50 ms. While this is acceptable for watching movies since input lag doesn't concern us at all, it becomes problematic in games and severely ruins the experience. It's a bit of a paradox – on one hand, we have a television that offers some of the best results on the market in wired mode, while on the other hand, Samsung promotes a solution that turns out to be quite detrimental for gamers. After all, the console is one of the key devices we usually connect to the television...

Connecting The Frame Pro to a computer via cable is essentially no big deal – it works as it should. The image is clear, the fonts look good, you can easily manage daily tasks in Word or Excel, and then fire up a game and it's still fine. The fun really begins when we use the wireless module. And this is where the whole paradox of this TV comes to light – the solution that was meant to make life easier can actually complicate it quite a bit in practice. It's not just about the aforementioned delays, which can be felt immediately when using the mouse, but also about the readability of the image itself. Fonts begin to look worse, at times you can see faint lines, and letters lose sharpness, making working with text simply tiring. It's really strange that such a simple thing as displaying letters on the screen can fall apart due to the wireless module. So if someone is planning to use The Frame Pro with a computer – whether for work or gaming – it's definitely worth connecting it via cable straight away. Otherwise, you can quickly get irritated and instead of enjoying the large screen, you'll feel like your eyes are fighting the TV for every paragraph of text.
SAMSUNG The Frame PRO - Viewing angles
3.1/10
Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 73%
The Frame Pro features a VA panel, which immediately indicates that viewing angles are not its strong suit. Just sitting a bit off to the side shows how the screen starts to lose quality – brightness drops, colours fade, and blacks, which look solid from a central perspective, suddenly resemble more of a dark grey velvet than deep tar. This is most noticeable at around a 40–45 degree angle – there, the image clearly brightens, and colour saturation significantly decreases. Overall, this is nothing new, as most LCD TVs with VA panels behave this way. At the cost of better blacks compared to IPS panels, we get worse viewing angles.
SAMSUNG The Frame PRO - Daytime performance
7/10
Panel finish: Matte
Reflection suppression: Very Good
Black levels during daytime: Good
The Frame series has stood out for several years due to its matte screen coating, and The Frame Pro from 2025 is no exception. Thanks to this, you can rest assured that light reflections won’t irritate you even in a brightly lit lounge. Samsung has refined this technology to near perfection over the years, and today it can confidently be said that this is the best matte screen available in televisions. The colours still look good and don’t drastically lose saturation, as is the case with cheaper Chinese models. The black levels also remain decent, although it must be acknowledged that in extremely bright lighting conditions, the colours may slightly flatten and lose depth. However, this is a small price to pay for the total lack of reflections on the screen – which can be invaluable in everyday use. Brightness is also a plus – around 600 nits in SDR mode means that the picture breaks through daylight easily and will look satisfactory in most rooms.

Smart Features
Samsung The Frame Pro operates on the Tizen system, which has been the hallmark of the Korean manufacturer for years. It is one of the most refined smart TV environments – fast, stable, and intuitive. Almost none of the popular streaming apps are missing here, and the interface runs smoothly and without significant delays. It also supports features like AirPlay 2, screen mirroring, and the ability to control the TV using voice commands via Bixby, Alexa, or Google Assistant.
TV Features
When it comes to classic TV functions – like in almost every Samsung – this is not the strongest side of the device. We receive a clear EPG guide, teletext support, the ability to connect headphones via Bluetooth, and that's pretty much it. You won’t find more advanced tools known from other TVs (e.g., USB recording or PiP). However, this is standard in Samsung's offering. The manufacturer has been setting trends for several years and mainly focuses on smart features, while classic television is somewhat neglected.
Art Store and Interchangeable Frames – a Unique Element of the Series
What distinguishes The Frame series from the very beginning is the Art Mode and the Art Store application. Thanks to this, we can display reproductions of artworks on the screen from classics to modern graphics. Although the service is paid (in the form of a subscription or a one-off annual fee), it ensures that the materials are prepared in the highest quality, making the displayed images look almost like they were painted. It is this element, along with the ability to change the TV frames, that allows The Frame Pro to serve a dual purpose as both a television and a design element in the interior.
Wireless One Connect Module
The second unique element of The Frame PRO is the wireless One Connect module, where we find all the HDMI ports and other connections. Thanks to this, the TV itself can hang on the wall almost like a real painting, while all the electronics and cables can go into a separate box placed even a few meters away. The device is powered via USB-C and takes over all the “thinking” processes of the TV. While this solution has its limitations for gamers or PC users (latency, degradation of font quality), it works great for connecting an amplifier, decoder, or individual multimedia devices. It's a very “gadgety” solution, but in everyday use, it turns out to be simply convenient and allows for better space arrangement in the living room.

The Frame Pro handles playback of media from USB memory correctly. Most popular video, music, and photo formats work without major issues, and the television handles them efficiently. During testing, we noticed only one inconvenience – files in HEIC format, which is a standard used by Apple, do not open even though the system sees them and displays them in the player. For those who often transfer photos from their iPhone, this may be a slight annoyance, but apart from that, the player fulfills its role well and it's hard to have major complaints about it.

The sound on the ChooseTV Pro isn't one of the strong points of this television. The slim design means that there's practically no bass, which makes the overall sound a bit flat and average. On the other hand, the television plays loudly – it can easily fill a medium or even larger lounge. Dialogues are clear, but with special effects or music, it lacks depth. This is definitely equipment that it's worth adding a soundbar to, preferably from the Samsung S designer series. Thanks to the decorative frames, you can match it to the decor along with the ChooseTV Pro.
