Panel type: LCD VA Refresh rate: 144Hz Brand: SAMSUNG Resolution: 3840x2160 System: Tizen Model year: 2025
The year 2025 can be considered a breakthrough 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, the Samsung The Frame Pro (LS03FW), is meant to answer the needs of more demanding viewers who previously opted for the classic The Frame due to its appearance and Gallery mode but always had to compromise on picture quality. The Frame Pro aims to change this balance of power – maintaining the characteristic, design flair while delivering picture quality at a significantly higher level. Adding a few new features, such as the odorless One Connect module, makes it really interesting. Has Samsung managed to create a television that finally does not force a choice between style and quality? Let’s check that in our review.
SAMSUNG The Frame PRO - Our verdict
7.3
Overall rating
Samsung The Frame Pro 2025 is a television that brings a breath of freshness to the lifestyle model segment. Its design takes center stage – a symmetrical frame, the ability to easily change decorative frames, and above all, the image effect on the wall thanks to the matte coating and special mount. In everyday use, it makes a great impression, and the Art Store feature combined with the high brightness of the screen means that the television works well not only as a display for movies and series but also as a decorative element in interior design. It is also hard not to appreciate the gadget-like addition of the wireless One Connect module – the ability to hide the box with ports anywhere in the living room provides significant 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 enjoyment of HDR effects even in brightly lit rooms, while the VA panel ensures stable and solid contrast. On the other hand, there are quite a few question marks. First and foremost – the naming. The designation "Pro" and the Mini-LED suffix suggest that we are dealing with an advanced local dimming system. However, in the 65-inch variant, we counted only 24 zones, all located at the bottom edge of the screen. You probably already know the effect after reading this review. Black levels and contrast are acceptable, but far from what Mini-LED televisions with full, dense backlighting provide. The issue of the wireless module also raises mixed feelings. While it indeed performs decently for connecting an amplifier or decoder, gamers and PC users will quickly discover that direct connection to the television via MICRO-HDMI is a necessity. Otherwise, they must contend with high input lag and worse font readability. Therefore, it is difficult to truly call The Frame Pro "Pro" in a strictly technological sense – it would be more appropriate to say it's "Frame Plus." A great lifestyle television, polished and visually striking, that will successfully fit into a bright, modern living room, but at the same time, it does not reach the level of quality we could expect from a product labeled as Mini-LED. It is a device that will delight with its design and additional features but will leave a slight sense of disappointment for those who expected a true breakthrough in image quality.

It can be said that The Frame Pro is not significantly different from the classic The Frame. We still have a symmetrical black frame characteristic 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 personalization. The set also includes classic legs with adjustable height, although it's hard to expect many users to actually use them. The very idea of The Frame is based on the idea of having the television hang on the wall and imitate a picture. Samsung has taken care of the appropriate accessories – in the box, we get a special mount that allows the screen to hang flat, almost flush with the wall. The design of the back panel has been crafted so that the whole unit doesn't protrude, and when the Art Store mode is activated, the television truly resembles a suspended piece of art.
What distinguishes The Frame Pro from both the competition and its "non-Pro" brother is the new, wired Wiralles One Connect Box module. Thanks to it, all cables are connected not to the television but to a separate box that can be placed anywhere in the room – within a radius of about 10 meters. To the TV itself, we only bring a power cable, which is easy to hide in the wall. This solution not only simplifies installation but also helps maintain aesthetic cleanliness – without dangling cables and the need to mount 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.

Samsung The Frame Pro has officially been labeled as a Mini-LED backlit television, but… is it really? In the 65-inch variant we tested, we counted only 24 dimming zones. The number itself seems somewhat modest, but the more important aspect is their placement – all of them are located along the bottom edge of the screen. In practice, this means that The Frame Pro should be treated more as edge-lit rather than a full-fledged Mini-LED with dense, direct local dimming. Samsung has used a similar maneuver before, renaming the Q70 series to Neo QLED televisions – mainly for marketing purposes. How does this translate to picture quality? Black levels and contrast look decent, but there are no effects known from televisions with advanced local dimming like in the QN80 series. Much of this is due to the high-quality VA panel, which provides solid parameters on its own – a contrast ratio of about 5000:1 looks good and, importantly, is stable without significant fluctuations. However, if someone buys The Frame Pro hoping to experience “true Mini-LED,” they might feel disappointed. We ourselves expected this model to differentiate itself more from the classic The Frame series in terms of contrast quality; however, the differences turned out to be smaller or even nonexistent compared to what the “Pro” designation might suggest.

Samsung The Frame Pro belongs to relatively bright televisions. In synthetic tests, we managed to achieve values around 900 nits, which, for a lifestyle model, is quite a decent result. In full-screen scenes, such as the frame from the movie The Meg or the opening sequence in Life of Pi, brightness remained at levels of 700–800 nits. These are values that allow you to fully enjoy 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 locally dim entire strips, does not handle them very well. It sometimes happens that small elements are excessively dimmed, which weakens the effect, or on the contrary – they are significantly brightened, but at the cost of losing black depth in that part of the image. This can be compared to light glows resembling the spread of a laser beam in dense fog – the effect is visible and bright, but at the same time, it is not very natural and distracts our attention. Fortunately, the color aspect performs better. Thanks to the use of a quantum dot filter (QLED), the colors are saturated, and the reproduction of the DCI-P3 palette exceeds 92%. In general, movies or series watched in HDR on The Frame Pro present a rich color palette, even if the contrast and the operation of the backlight algorithms can sometimes distract our attention.
Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)
Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)
Although The Frame Pro uses edge lighting, the reception of films can be considered truly satisfying. Even in more challenging scenes, the image held its level, and during screenings of films like Mr. and Billy Lynn, the fullscreen, bright shots looked convincing. Details in the brightest parts were clearly visible, and one could indeed feel the cinematic magic of HDR. However, we suspect that if Samsung had actually decided on full-fledged Mini-LED backlighting, the effect would have been even better.

The Frame Pro is a TV bright enough to accurately reproduce details in whites, but that doesn't mean that dynamic metadata doesn't contribute anything to the image. On the contrary – in tests, the difference between classic HDR10 and dynamic HDR10+ was clearly visible. Samsung's proprietary format can significantly improve the perception of scenes, adding depth, detail, and naturalness. The same material presented itself more maturely, and watching became simply more enjoyable. It's encouraging that HDR10+ is appearing more frequently in streaming services and gaining popularity. Dolby Vision still dominates globally, but there is no longer any reason to fear 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 paid attention to the factory settings. In SDR content – the type of content most often viewed – The Frame Pro performed really well. White balance and gamma were almost perfectly matched, making the image look natural and consistent. Yes, there were some noticeable errors, especially in skin tones and reds, which could be overly saturated, giving everything a slightly “warmed up” character, but in everyday use, this did not significantly affect the viewing experience. In the case of HDR content, the situation was similar regarding white balance. It was at a good level; however, the biggest problem turned out to be brightness management. The EOTF curve was set in such a way that in many scenes the image appeared to be overexposed, and the brightest areas lost details and turned into solid patches of light. This severely undermined realism and made the colors appear strongly over-sharpened. Fortunately, Samsung provides the option for manual adjustment of the curve in its televisions, 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 simply perfect. We managed to eliminate the overly strong red saturation that previously gave the picture a somewhat excessively warm character. The colors became more balanced, which translated to a natural and pleasant reception of daily content – from television to movies and series from streaming or materials on YouTube. In HDR mode, the EOTF curve required the most work, as it originally caused excessive burning of the entire image. Calibration largely helped to "tame" this problem – the image stopped being overexposed, and details in bright areas became more visible. Of course, the limits are set by the television's own design, as edge lighting reveals its limitations, and even the smallest elements of light can still be oversaturated or blend into the background. However, this is a matter of technology, not calibration itself. After the correction, The Frame Pro is much more enjoyable to watch, and it's definitely worth opting for if you want to make the most of your television's capabilities.
SAMSUNG The Frame PRO - Smoothness of tonal transitions
9.5/10
Here Samsung truly deserves immense applause. The Frame Pro has proven to be one of the best TVs of the year when it comes to the smoothness of tonal transitions. During testing, we were practically unable to detect any noticeable issues with color blending – the gradients looked smooth and natural, and the "banding" typical of many TVs simply did not appear. Yes, in very dark scenes, minimal imperfections can be noticed, but you have to really focus to see them – even the seasoned eye of our editorial team had trouble with this. Therefore, in everyday viewing, there’s no way anything will disrupt your experience. This is a huge plus because it’s in darker scenes that TVs most often struggle. 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
While the smoothness of tonal transitions in 4K HDR content on The Frame Pro is not a problem at all, naturally with weaker signal quality – from television, HD content, or older Full HD films – imperfections may occur. Therefore, it is crucial how the television handles these limitations thanks to its 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 noticeable but not overly exaggerated way. However, it should be noted that Samsung tends to operate aggressively – even at the lowest setting of this feature, it can "eat" film grain. It is therefore advisable to use it with caution and adjust the settings to the material being viewed.
The upscaling itself is at a high level. The Frame Pro can effectively upscale older materials to native 4K resolution while maintaining good sharpness and readability. Movies and series in lower quality simply look better here. However, it is worth mentioning a minor drawback – typical for many Samsung televisions. With very old sources of poor quality, you may notice cropping of the image edges on the left side of the screen. This is not a problem that will ruin the viewing experience, but it is good to know that it may occur.

The smoothness of motion in The Frame Pro is ensured not only by the panel, which operates with a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz, but also by the image processor and the smoothing system. It is thanks to this that we can adjust the way we display movies or sports broadcasts to our own preferences. Available are sliders for motion blur reduction and judder reduction – the first function improves the sharpness of fast movements, while the second allows for softening the "jumping" image effect during camera pans. Therefore, everyone can choose between a cinematic character of motion and a smoother, more "television-like" style.

Smużenie (4K@144Hz):
The motion blur performed better than one might expect from a VA panel, which is usually not the strongest aspect in this category. During tests, The Frame Pro handled very well – the image remained sharp, and most motion sequences looked natural and without major objections. Only in really challenging scenes, with a fast-moving object against a dark background, could slight traces of motion blur be noticed, but they were not clear enough to ruin the viewing experience. Overall, in everyday use, the television presents itself quite solidly in this category.

Samsung The Frame Pro doesn’t pretend to be just a “living room” television; here, gamers will also find something for themselves. The manufacturer has ensured a full suite of gaming features: we have support for variable refresh rate (VRR), automatic 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 any downsides? Yes, The Frame Pro doesn’t support Dolby Vision in gaming mode, but it's hard to consider this a serious issue – most gamers use HDR10 anyway... so, the HGIG mode. Exactly. The biggest surprise turned out to be 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 has no ability to enable settings designed for consoles. This is a step backward that may disappoint more informed gamers expecting full compliance with HGiG guidelines. We just hope that this mistake will be quickly corrected.
Interestingly, The Frame Pro also features an atypical arrangement of HDMI 2.1 ports. We have as many as five available – four are located in the One Connect module, and the fifth, in micro HDMI version, is directly on the TV. This solution is quite unconventional, but very practical. Samsung clearly suggests that this is the port to connect your console or computer. Why? Because it minimizes potential delays associated with communication through the wireless One Connect, and in gaming, every millisecond matters. We wrote separately about input lag, but it can be revealed here that by connecting equipment directly to the TV, we achieve the absolute maximum response speed.
SAMSUNG The Frame PRO - Input lag
9.9/10
The Frame Pro in wired mode achieves truly excellent results. Latencies range from 9 to 14 ms, ensuring smooth and instant reactions in games. These are values that can easily be considered reference – even in dynamic titles, the action unfolds without delays, and the controls are precise and predictable. The situation changes when the wireless One Connect module comes into play. While it allows for hiding cables and enjoying greater freedom of room arrangement, it significantly worsens input lag results. In tests conducted at a distance of 2 to 3 meters from the television, with no furniture obstacles, the values jumped to as high as 50ms. While this is acceptable for watching movies since input lag doesn’t concern us at all, it becomes problematic in games and greatly spoils the experience. It’s somewhat 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 proves quite detrimental for gamers. And after all, the console is one of the key devices we usually connect to the television...
For the sake of order, we present our wireless measurements at a distance of 2-3m:

Connecting The Frame Pro to a computer via a wired connection is basically no rocket science – it works as it should. The image is clear, the fonts look good, you can calmly handle everyday work in Word or Excel, and then launch a game and it’s still okay. The real fun begins when we use the wireless module. And this is where the entire paradox of this television comes out again – a solution that was supposed to make life easier in theory can actually make it quite frustrating in practice. It's not just about the aforementioned delays, which can be immediately felt when using the mouse, but also about the clarity of the image itself. The fonts start to look simply worse, at times you can see some kind of delicate stripes, and the letters lose sharpness, and suddenly working with text becomes simply exhausting. And it's really strange that such a simple thing as displaying letters on the screen can fall apart because of the wireless module. So if someone plans to use The Frame Pro with a computer – whether for work or gaming – it’s really worth connecting it via a wired connection right away. Because otherwise, you can become very quickly frustrated, and instead of enjoying the large screen, you’ll feel like your eyes are fighting with the television 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 uses a VA panel, and that immediately means that viewing angles are not one of its strengths. It’s enough to sit slightly to the side to see how the screen starts to lose quality – brightness decreases, colors fade, and blacks that look solid from a central perspective suddenly resemble more dark gray velvet than deep pitch. This is most apparent at about a 40–45 degree angle – there, the image clearly brightens, and color saturation drops significantly. Overall, this is nothing new, as most LCD televisions 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 - TV efficiency during daytime
7/10
Matrix coating: Matte
Reflection suppression: Very Good
Black levels during daytime: Good
The Frame series has stood out for almost a few years with its matte display coating, and The Frame Pro from 2025 is no exception. It is precisely because of this that you can be assured that light reflections will not annoy you even in a brightly lit living room. Samsung has refined this technology to near perfection over the years, and today, it can confidently be said that this is the best matte display we can find in televisions. Colors still look good and do not drastically lose saturation, as is the case with cheaper, Chinese designs. Black also remains at a decent level, although it must be admitted that in extremely bright lighting conditions, colors may slightly flatten and lose depth. However, this is a small price to pay for the complete lack of reflections on the screen – and this can be priceless in everyday use. Plus, the brightness must also be noted – about 600 nits in SDR mode makes the picture easily cut through daylight, and it will look satisfactory in most rooms.

Smart Features
Samsung The Frame Pro runs 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. It virtually includes all popular streaming applications, and the interface operates smoothly and without significant delays. Features such as AirPlay 2, screen mirroring, and voice control of the TV using Bixby, Alexa, or Google Assistant are also supported.
TV Functions
When it comes to classic TV functions – as in almost every Samsung – this is not the device's strongest aspect. We receive a clear EPG guide, teletext support, the ability to connect headphones via Bluetooth, and that's about it. We won't find more advanced tools known from 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 focuses mainly on smart features, while traditional television is somewhat neglected.
Art Store and Interchangeable Frames – A Unique Element of the Series
What has distinguished the series The Frame since its inception is the Art Mode and the Art Store application. Thanks to it, we can display reproductions of artworks on the screen, ranging from classics to modern graphics. The service is indeed paid (in the form of a subscription or a one-time annual fee), but it ensures that the materials are prepared in the highest quality, making the displayed images look almost as if painted. This element, along with the option to change the TV's frames, makes The Frame Pro serve a dual purpose as a television and a stylish interior design element.
Wireless One Connect Module
The second unique element of The Frame PRO is the wireless One Connect module, which includes all HDMI ports and other connections. This allows the TV to hang on the wall almost like a real painting, while all the electronics and cables can be placed in a separate box positioned 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 those using PCs (latency, deterioration in font quality), it works great for connecting amplifiers, decoders, or individual multimedia devices. It's a very "gadgety" solution, but in everyday use, it proves to be simply convenient and allows for better arrangement of space in the living room.

The Frame Pro handles multimedia playback from a USB drive correctly. Most popular movie, music, and photo formats work without major problems, and the TV manages them efficiently. During tests, 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 an iPhone, this may be a minor inconvenience, but apart from that, the player does its job well, and it's hard to have significant complaints about it.

The sound on The Frame Pro is not one of this TV's strongest features. Its slim design means there's virtually no bass, which makes the overall audio sound a bit flat and average. On the other hand, the TV plays loudly – it can easily fill a medium to larger room. Dialogues are clear, but when it comes to special effects or music, there’s a lack of depth. This is definitely a piece of equipment for which it's worth buying a soundbar, preferably from the designer Samsung S series. Thanks to decorative frames, it can be matched to the decor alongside ChooseTV.
