The Samsung Frame represents a different philosophy in television design. Rather than being an obvious piece of technology that dominates your wall when turned off, the Frame transforms into a digital art gallery, displaying paintings, photographs, or personal images that complement your home's decor. It's a solution that appeals particularly to homeowners who want their entertainment technology to blend seamlessly with thoughtfully designed spaces. And with the right installation approach, premium technology doesn't have to mean premium installation costs.
This 55-inch Samsung Frame installation in a Minnetonka home showcases how premium televisions can integrate into everyday living spaces. The Frame's slim profile and customizable bezels create that art-on-the-wall appearance that sets it apart from standard televisions. When you're not watching content, the screen displays artwork in Samsung's Art Mode, turning your TV into a rotating gallery piece rather than a black rectangle dominating your wall.
We mounted this Frame using Samsung's specialized slim-fit wall mount, which positions the screen remarkably close to the wall surface—creating that framed-artwork appearance the product is designed to deliver. The mounting process for Frame TVs requires attention to different details than standard TV installations, particularly regarding the One Connect Box placement and the thin cable that runs between the box and the display.
Like several recent installations, these homeowners chose to handle cord concealment themselves to keep the project budget-friendly. We completed the professional mounting—ensuring the Frame sits perfectly level and securely anchored—while they retained the option to route cables through the wall on their own timeline. The One Connect Box, visible on the furniture below, houses all the connections and can be concealed in various ways depending on the homeowner's preferences and DIY comfort level.
The Frame's unique design creates specific installation considerations. The television itself is remarkably thin, enabled by moving all the connection ports and processing components into the separate One Connect Box. This means you're mounting the display separately from where cables actually connect, with a single thin optical cable running between the screen and the box.
The One Connect Box needs its own location strategy. Some homeowners place it on furniture, in a nearby cabinet, or mounted behind the wall in a recessed box. Each approach has advantages depending on your room layout and how much cable concealment you want to tackle. For this installation, the box sits on the furniture below—accessible, functional, and ready for the homeowners to implement their preferred concealment solution when they're ready.
Frame installations also benefit from Samsung's customizable bezels, available in different colors and styles to match your decor. Combined with Art Mode's motion sensor that activates the display when someone enters the room, the Frame creates an experience that feels less like mounting a TV and more like hanging a piece of art that happens to stream your favorite shows.
Premium televisions like the Samsung Frame represent significant investment in quality display technology. But the installation itself doesn't need to consume a disproportionate amount of your budget. By focusing professional services on the critical mounting work while handling cosmetic finishing yourself, you get expert installation where it matters most at a cost that makes sense.
We're transparent about what needs professional expertise versus what homeowners can tackle themselves. The mounting—finding studs, securing the bracket, ensuring perfect level and alignment—benefits from professional tools and experience. Cable concealment, while requiring some DIY comfort and the right materials, can be handled by many homeowners using readily available products and online tutorials.
The 55-inch size hits a sweet spot for many applications—bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, or secondary living spaces where you want quality viewing without the massive scale of 75 or 85-inch displays. The Frame's design philosophy works particularly well at this size, creating an art piece that enhances rather than dominates the space.
For kitchen installations like this one appears to be, the Frame offers practical advantages beyond aesthetics. Art Mode means the screen looks intentional even when not in use, and the ability to display recipes, timers, or cooking tutorials makes it genuinely functional in a cooking space. The thin profile keeps it out of the way while the slim One Connect cable simplifies the installation compared to managing multiple HDMI cables, power cords, and component connections.
