What Customers Say
Owners who moved up to the 65-inch Frame, several from a smaller Frame, say the artwork and the picture both benefit from the larger canvas, and the range as a whole gets the same verdict: in Art Mode on the wall it passes for a framed print, and the matte anti-reflective screen is praised again and again for coping with south-facing rooms and kitchens where glare had spoiled a previous set. The slim chassis sits flush on the supplied wall mount with only the thin One Connect cable to hide, the picture is described as bright and colourful with good upscaling, the sound as better than the depth of the set suggests, and set-up as quick, with the solar-charged remote a recurring favourite. One owner replacing a 55-inch Frame with this size found the new panel noticeably less prone to reflections than the old one. Owner reviews are pooled across the 43-inch, 50-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch models, so the reviews here cover the whole 2025 range.
The repeated complaints are that the wider Art Store catalogue is a paid subscription, that the external One Connect box needs somewhere to live near the wall, and that Samsung's Tizen menus feel cluttered, while a couple of owners note that black levels cannot match an OLED.
For a buyer who wants a large television that disappears into the room and copes with daylight, the 65-inch Frame brings the 144Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 input of the bigger sizes to the size most living rooms want; anyone buying purely for film performance should still weigh a conventional set at the same price.
Who Should Buy This
- Design-led living rooms wanting a large TV that reads as art
- Bright kitchens and south-facing rooms needing a matte screen
- Wall-mounters wanting a flush fit with one cable to hide
- Console gamers wanting a high refresh rate on one HDMI 2.1 input
- UK viewers wanting built-in terrestrial and satellite tuners
Who Should Skip It
- Film fans wanting deep native contrast for dark-room viewing
- Dolby Vision viewers wanting that HDR format on streaming and discs
- Multi-console households wanting four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports
- Buyers who want every piece of artwork included in the price
What Experts Says
Overall Assessment and Positioning
The Samsung QE65LS03F is the 65-inch model of the 2025 The Frame, Samsung's lifestyle QLED built to hang flush on the wall and show artwork in Art Mode when it is not being watched. It is the largest of the four standard Frame sizes and, like the 55-inch, carries the 144Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 input the two smaller sets lack, sitting below the Neo QLED Frame Pro that shares this size in Samsung's 2025 line-up.
Key Strengths and Standout Features
The 4K QLED panel has a matte anti-reflective finish, with the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor handling 4K AI upscaling and HDR10+ Adaptive, HDR10+ Gaming, HDR10 and HLG playback. The stated refresh rate is 144Hz, with one of the four HDMI inputs carrying 4K at 144Hz and the other three running at standard bandwidth, alongside ALLM, HGiG, Game Motion Plus, an AI Auto Game Mode and the Gaming Hub for cloud services. One HDMI carries eARC, and USB-A and USB-C ports, an optical output, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3 and Ethernet complete the connections, all housed in the separate One Connect box that Samsung lists in the box alongside a Slim Fit wall mount and a solar-charged remote. Audio is a 40 W 2.0.2-channel system with Object Tracking Sound, Dolby Atmos decoding, Adaptive Sound Pro and Q-Symphony for a matching Samsung soundbar. A built-in DVB-T2, DVB-C and DVB-S2 tuner with a CI+ slot covers UK broadcast viewing, and Tizen runs the streaming apps with Alexa and SmartThings built in.
Value Proposition and Who It's Best Suited For
This is a television bought for its design first: a 24.9 mm deep chassis weighing 22.4 kg that mounts on a 400 x 300 mm bracket and, with the matte screen and Art Mode, reads as a framed print rather than a black rectangle. The stated G energy class, 108 W on-mode draw in SDR and 150 kWh a year are on the high side for a 65-inch set and worth budgeting for. The 144Hz panel, the HDMI 2.1 input and the 40 W sound system are the same upgrades the 55-inch carries over the smaller Frames; against a conventional 65-inch QLED at the same price the honest qualifications remain the single full-bandwidth HDMI port, the edge-lit contrast and the absence of Dolby Vision. Buyers who want a large screen that suits the room, copes with daylight and can still handle a console properly will find it the right choice; film enthusiasts chasing contrast should spend the same money on picture performance instead.
