i think the most important thing is not that it would disguise as real art, but that it just looks so much better than a regular TV. the screen is definitely low gloss compared to other TVs, so it has a nice art-like matte finish.

the sensor detects when theres no activity in the room and then shuts off. you can set the sensitivity so it turns back on easier when you enter the room if you prefer that, you can also set a timer so it auto shuts off.

and again, since i wrote this post, the app has gotten EVEN worse. for halloween i wanted to upload new art and i spent like literally 3 hours trying to make it work. eventually i used my husbands phone which has way less photos on it and that eventually worked.

if you want to upload your own photos, you just have to use a mat. they have an option for one, two or three photos. it can be very fun for holidays like i do every christmas with arlos santa photos. (fyi this is my older frame tv below, the first gen (yes the one arlo broke) which def had worst screen quality than our new one).

in the art mode settings you can modify the mat. you can display the art with no mat like mine are above, or you can adjust the mat. they have a thicker and thinner mat option, and you can change the color of the mat as well.

You could try plugging in an Ethernet cable into the box then your router, seems to be more stable than Wi-Fi for me! Just make sure you go in and change the connection settings after that you are wired in. Hope that helps!

I actually landed on this page as I was looking for people who have tried setting up a slideshow on the Frame. You can setup a slideshow, but you have to go to the menu option where you can find your device, and then run the slideshow. If you want to purposely run the slideshow it works well. You can load images from a network drive, a PLEX server, etc, or you can just hook up a USB drive with the photos.

Now I just switch to art mode every time we finish watching tv. I also turn on art mode before we go to bed and have art mode set to sleep after 15min. When we walk out in the AM it clicks right on 100% of the time!

Just discovered: We use AppleTV for everything. To switch between art mode and Apple TV make sure you have these properly configured:
The Frame: Settings > General > External Device Manager > Anynet + (HDMI-CEC) > OFF
Apple TV: Settings > Remote and Devices > Turn On Your TV with Your Remote > ON

We have had our 55 inch for a year now. TV it replaced was 10 years old so we found picture fantastic. However art mode is very poor. The memory is very small so we can only have 8 photos on it. When you browse art it seems to fill memory and Samsung force loads of memory heavy apps on you. Having my time again I would not buy this. The art is loverly but pricey, the picture is very good. The apps and functions poor. Twenty clicks to turn down brightness and you must leave Netflix, bbc I player etc to adjust. The light sensor does not seem to work for us so at night art looks false unless we go in and turn down the brightness.

The negative reviews seem to be a deal breaker , specially the memory capability. Also , the features not included on the slide show being reported , like advancing to next photo and always having to start a slide show at the same point is unacceptable. My 4 year old Vizio can do this! Anyone else having thee issues or was there a fix?

I have a new Frame TV. I like it so much that I want another one. If you have more than one Frame TV, and you want the Art Store on both, do I need to pay for another subscription? Or can I use my one subscription for both?

One of the things that I found most interesting about the TV is that it can look like art when it is not being used. This is a great way to save space in your home and to add a touch of style to your dcor.
