Samsung's 2026 Frame TVs ditch the box
2 Apr
Summary
- New Frame TVs integrate connections, removing separate box.
- Frame Pro features wireless connect box up to 30 feet away.
- Both models offer upgraded glare-free matte display for art.
Samsung has unveiled its 2026 collection of Art TVs, featuring redesigned Frame and Frame Pro models. The standard Frame TV now integrates all its connections directly into the unit, a significant departure from previous iterations that relied on a separate connect box. This streamlined design is complemented by a Slim Fit Wall Mount, allowing the TV to hinge for easy device access.
The Frame Pro, however, continues to include a Wireless One Connect Box, capable of transmitting signals up to 30 feet. This premium model is equipped with a Neo QLED 4K display, promising enhanced brightness, contrast, and deeper blacks. Both the Frame and Frame Pro models for 2026 incorporate an improved Glare Free technology, presenting artwork with greater realism, especially in well-lit environments.
Central to the appeal of the Frame TVs is access to Samsung's Art Store, which provides a vast library of over 5,000 artworks for subscribers, alongside a free curated selection each month. Customization options include a variety of bezel finishes. The TVs also feature AI Sound Controller Pro for audio management and AI Soccer Mode. They run on One UI Tizen OS, offering major streaming services and up to seven years of OS updates. Gamers benefit from Motion Xcelerator support, with refresh rates up to 144Hz or 240Hz with a connected PC. The Frame Pro is currently available, with the uppriced Frame model set to launch later. Samsung pioneered the gallery-style TV, and these updates aim to maintain its market leadership despite potential buyer concerns over integrated connections.
