What's new for 2026
The standard Frame is the lifestyle TV standard — QLED panel with picture-frame design, Slim Fit No-Gap Mount included, wired One Connect Box, 2,400+ artworks in the Art Store. Sub-Frame-Pro pricing.
If you don't need the Frame Pro's Mini-LED panel + Wireless OneConnect, the standard Frame saves $500.

Who should buy this TV
Buy if: Lifestyle/décor-first · don't need flagship picture · flat-wall install (no fireplace) · want Art Mode at lower price.
Skip if: Fireplace install (Frame Pro's Wireless OneConnect is worth the $500) · picture quality matters more than aesthetics.
Rick's final verdict
Rick's verdict: the standard Frame is fine if décor is your priority and you're doing a flat-wall install. For ANY fireplace install, the Frame Pro is worth the $500 premium because the Wireless OneConnect eliminates the in-wall HDMI run.
Final score: 8.0 / 10 — lifestyle pick at standard pricing.
