The Frame only looks like a picture on the wall if the mount and the One Connect box are handled properly. Most of the work is deciding where the box lives.
The Frame comes with its own slim mount, so there is usually no bracket to buy on top.
01How we do it
Most of the job is planning: which plate, where the One Connect box lives, and where the openings go.
Samsung ships a slim wall plate with the Frame, and it is the right one to use — a generic bracket leaves the panel standing off the wall and the whole point is lost. If yours came without it, or a previous installer used something else, we bring the correct plate.
Everything except the single thin cable plugs into that box, and it has to live somewhere. In a cabinet below is the simplest. Behind the panel in a recessed enclosure is the cleanest. Some rooms have neither option and it ends up in an adjacent closet. We work this out with you first, because it decides where the openings go.
It is thin enough to run inside the wall with the power, which is how you end up with a screen that has nothing visible attached to it. It is also easy to damage on a tight bend, so it gets pulled with a proper sleeve rather than yanked through.
Art Mode dims the screen using the light sensor on the panel. Mounted too close to a bright window or under a spotlight it will misjudge the room. Worth a minute of thought at the marking-out stage rather than after the holes exist.

Text a photo · (813) 536-3533No, the slim plate comes in the box and that is what we fit. You only need something else if the wall cannot take it — solid block, for instance, where the fixings change.
In a recessed enclosure, yes, if the cavity allows it and there is airflow. It gets warm, so it is not something to bury in insulation. If the wall will not take it, a cabinet below is the honest answer.
Same rule as any other TV: we measure the heat first. The Frame sits closer to the wall than a normal panel, which does it no favours above a working firebox.
LG Gallery, Hisense CanvasTV and the rest work the same way. The mount differs, the thinking does not.
