We have 2 Frame TVs. It's a great product if you aren't someone who obsesses over picture quality and have the budget.

I'd love a clean UI to accompany the minimalistic design of the TV itself...but this looks a bit early for me to try :).

My Frame TV developed a dim strip in the centre of the screen after four years of ownership.

Samsung would only proceed with organising a repair if I updated the firmware to the latest version. Something I deliberately held back on to avoid the introduction of ads.

Now I have new firmware. And new ads.

Oy for Samsung to tell me that spares are no longer available for my four year old TV, and would I like to buy a new one (with more ads).

Now everywhere I look I see Samsung displays being used in residential and commercial settings, and I'd estimate 30% of them have noticeably inconsistent backlights, with bright or dark spots.

Never again.
