Beginner's guide to the Samsung Frame TV

So you’ve unboxed and mounted your new Samsung Frame TV but feel you might be missing something? Read on for tips and tricks on how to make the most of your Samsung Frame TV.

What is Art Mode?

First things first, let's talk about Art Mode. This feature is really the centrepiece of the Frame TV and the reason why you would buy it. It allows you to display beautiful works of art when the TV is turned off, turning that big black rectangle on your wall or entertainment unit into a stylish piece of home decor.

Art Mode is enabled by default, and you’ll be pleased to know that it is a lower energy consumption mode than watching TV. There is also a built-in motion sensor so the display will turn off automatically when no one is in the room, allowing you to further save on your energy bills.

How to add your own art to your Frame TV

You don’t have to settle for the pre-loaded art options. Take things to the next level by uploading your favourite photos or artwork to display on your Samsung Frame TV. This could be family photos, your kids’ artwork, vintage masterpieces or unique pieces created by modern designers.

Once you have the photos or custom art you want to upload, follow these step-by-step instructions to get the pictures onto your Frame TV.

Changing the art on your Frame TV

If you’ve browsed around the various resources for where to find Frame TV art, you might now be feeling like there are too many options! Never fear, take it as a challenge and have some fun changing your art every season, for special events or even every day!

Style your TV with custom frames

You’ve invested in the TV which does come with a nice frame, but did you know you can get custom frames which can further sell the illusion that you have a real painting on your wall? There are sleek, modern designs, but my favourites are the more ornate, vintage style frames. Gold frames for the win! These complement certain art styles amazingly well, taking you back in time for that antique look.

Does your TV need lighting?

Just like in a real art gallery, lighting can make all the difference. Of course the TV has its own lighting built in, but having a little picture light above your TV will really help convince everyone that it is a real painting.

Key takeaways

So to summarise, ways to get the most out of your Samsung Frame TV include:

  1. Understand Art Mode
  2. Upload your own pictures
  3. Change it up
  4. Style with custom frames
  5. Don’t forget the lighting

There you have it! With these tips, you can turn your Samsung Frame TV into a true work of art.
