Really good, thoughtfully produced review - thanks! I’m very torn on this vs the standard mount just because I’m concerned about the increased gap from the thicker mount ruining the ‘it’s an art piece not a tv’ effect I really want.
I think you're the only person out there right now with this installed. I can't find any specs/drawings on this rotating wall mount. I am renovating a room and I want to put wood blocking in the wall and run the wires to the perfect spot. Is there anyway you can do a video detailing the size and thickness of the wall mount, where the wires should come out, etc. Any pictures you have of the instructions provided or a video on just the wall mount itself. That would be awesome for the community!
Good review! Quick question, whilst in portrait mode, do you find that the aspect ratio is somewhat too narrow and thin? Does portrait mode truly look like a piece of artwork on a wall.. Thanks
Thanks James! You know, I was curious about the exact same thing before buying. For photographs taken vertically, I found that the aspect ratio didn't really cut out too much of the picture, and it seems pretty good for photos. For art work though, most canvasses are considerably wider, so I found myself struggling to crop some art work (Mona Lisa looks great for example, but there were a lot of Van Goghs and Renoirs that didn't). But to answer your question, 9:16 isn't as narrow as I would have thought, and it gives you a lot to work with. Also, while I don't subscribe to Samsung's art store anymore, I've seen on reddit that some users complain that there are zero portrait mode paintings up yet.
@jerzyjd, amazing video thank you. Can you please help me understand, at what point does the screen auto rotate by itself. I have lots of portrait and landscape photos and would like the TV to auto rotate rather than me doing it every time. Also, do you have the crop the pictures to perfect 4k to get full screen without borders? Thank you so much
Maddeningly, that is not a feature -- the auto-rotating wall mount does not actually automatically rotate. I don't get it either. And you do need a perfect 3840x2160 (or vice versa for portrait photos) aspect ratio to avoid having a dumb border put around it. Nonetheless, I still thoroughly enjoy having it.
So glad you made this review! Once I figured out you can rotate the TV with the remote I knew there was only one option for me 🤣 I think I might end up getting two USB drives, one for portrait the other one for landscape and then manually swap them out 🫤
Question: my 2021 Frame TV only allows a minimum time of 3 minutes for slideshow mode. Does the current model's software allow for less time options? Thanks
Unfortunately not. If it’s any consolation though, the minimum on the 2020 Frame was a confounding 10 minutes. The transition to three minutes for me felt like warp speed.
Great video. Thank you! I have a recessed area in my hallway wall and want to permanently mount the Frame TV vertically. I don't have room to rotate the TV. Can this mount be mounted and then have the tv attached in vertical mode or is there a vertical mount that can be used?
According to this link, it appears the answer is yes for 2022 versions in 50, 55, and 65: help.framemytv.com/samsung-the-frame-vertical-mount-orientation
Great review! I was wondering if you could let me know what the distance is from the wall to the back of the TV with the rotating mount. The area I’d like to set the TV in has a door frame on the left that is slightly raised so I wanted to know if the TV would be able to rotate in front of it. Thanks in advance!
Excellent review thank you. I am considering getting a 75 inch and hanging it as portrait mode (since this size doesnt allow auto rotate) OR a 65 with the auto rotate. This is for my office and I wont be watching long movies or stuff like that. But its an amazing feature to have - I just don't know if I will be rotating it as much. Would you prefer a 65 with auto rotate or a 75 in portrait?
I appreciate it! I think the overall wall size matters, but if it's important for you to be able to put up a wide array of photos, I would nudge you towards the auto-rotating option. Specifically, there will be a lot a photos that work exclusively in portrait, and others which work only for landscape. Hope that helps!
Helpful video! Do you have any issues with having to always pair the tv/remote with the rotating mount? I just got this mount and every time I turn the TV off, I have to re-pair the remote with the mount before I can rotate it again.
Thanks! I do, and it's definitely annoying. I don't ever really turn my TV off, but in the 6 months or so that I've had it its maybe happened 3 or 4 times. And then I physically have to unplug and replug the power of the wall mount to be able to reset it. I feel like I tolerate a lot of stuff about this TV just because of its novelty.
At 2:28, how much extra clearance is required on each side to allow the rotation to portrait? Fantastic video though! This has definitely helped me with my decision! Just need to make sure I don’t order too big for my space :)
Thanks! Here's a dropbox link to a picture of the manual that gives some guidance on the clearance: www.dropbox.com/s/node0i82lwoxksi/Screen%20Shot%202022-07-08%20at%2012.59.40%20PM.png?dl=0
@@jerzyjd awesome, thank you kindly! Paying it forward for anyone else curious, minimum clearance on each side appears to be approximately: 43” model: 7.5 cm 50”: 9 cm 55”: 10 cm 65”: 11.5 cm It also suggests adding an additional 10 cm on each side to be “safe.” Thanks again!
Since it doesn’t auto rotate, I am guessing you need to have a landscape or a portrait slide show. It seems there is only one place to store the pictures. Do you need create a portrait one and delete all pictures if you want make a portrait slideshow?
That's exactly right. There's no ability to create, say, an album or anything like that with different orientations. I try to appreciate the device for what it is, but it's pretty ridiculous that they can go this far in designing a product without considering/implementing what are really basic things.
Nice review... great to see some Canadian-produced content. 🍁 Is anyone using the 2022 model with a fixed mount for portrait mode? There are some third party solutions that minimize wall gap but I'm surprised that Samsung isn't offering their own option for people who don't have any interest in rotating the display. Also: is anyone using the Frame to display movie posters? There are other solutions available out there that there less costly but they don't offer the same value-adds that make the Frame so compelling.
Thanks very much Mark. I actually did this video because you asked me to on an earlier video of mine. I am a sleuth and I believe I saw that you're from St. Catharines. My law office is across from City Hall in St. Catharines. You can feel free to look me up if you'd ever like to check out how I use the TV.
@@jerzyjd lol... I remember encouraging you to do the review and only spotted it yesterday! Wow... what are the odds of being so close? Looks like a terrific office so now I'm trying to imagine the location. Feel free to add me on LI.
Have you tried just connecting an Apple TV to the FRAME and using that as a primary UI for photos etc? I’m hoping that’s a workaround to the janky Samsung default. I’d be keen to hear your feedback.
So I've never had an AppleTV, despite owning practically every other product line they have. I have heard people on reddit say it's a considerable improvement, so it definitely seems worth trying. My only reservation would be that I almost always keep the TV in portrait mode, and I don't know that it would be as convenient in that orientation. Sorry I can't be of much help, but thanks for your comment!
Do I need to buy the Auto Rotating Wall Mount to make the TV go into Portrait/Vertical mode? Or can I just buy a Vertical TV wall mount and the Portrait/Vertical mode still work?
Hey Edwin, I believe so, but I'm not entirely sure. My impression is that the TV rotates automatically based on its internal gyrometer, but I'm not 100% that there isn't some programming that will only allow it to work if it has the auto-rotating wall mount. I do seem to recall a lot of other people installing their TV's vertically without the auto rotating wall mount and it working.

So one thing you quickly realize is just how hard it is to find truly high res images online these days. It has become a hobby of mine, but it is a very time consuming process. I’ve also acquired a taste for individual photographers, and some of them post high res photos on their websites. Neil Leifer for instance is AMAZING, and his vintage photographs look better than modern ones somehow.
I still love it. It's the centrepiece of my office in a lot of ways. I do have a Mac attached to it though which has allowed me to completely ignore the UI issues, of which there are many.
It does indeed require its own wire, so you now have two wires being run through the wall. It's a similar wire to the one that connects to the OneConnect box, and it connects to an identical AC adapter, which then connects into the wall. Point for the in-wall mounting option.
@@reyjohnson6705 I can’t speak to fire code compliance, but I did use a conduit for both wires from Amazon that supposedly made it more flame resistant. There isn’t any twisting of the wires, and the rotating mount has instructions on where to insert the wires in cavities on the back of the TV. It’s kind of hard to explain, but the way the brackets fit on to the TV, the wires don’t actually turn at all. Quite well engineered.
@@jerzyjd Hello! could you share a video with how the installation looks like from the back and the wires and the cut-outs please? not able to find any information online at all ... or any instruction manual
I am buying the TV to play a slide show of portrait and landscape photos with the auto rotation. You said it was glitching? Can I do it. If not I will return the mount.
Hey David, so the trouble is that you manually have to switch the orientation yourself (i.e. it won't automatically change orientation during a slide show based on the picture), which is annoying.
@@jerzyjd Great review, I appreciate all the information, you have more info in your review then the whole internet (and the Samsung customer service) combined. I purchased the auto rotate wall mount and the Frame TV comes on Nov 1, guess I will use the wall mount even though it seems like minimal functionality for $350, still cool , just not real cool.
I have the Auto-Rotation Wall Mount with a 43 Frame 2022. i love it, But the cable Management is Not satisfying. It pulls the one connect box cable. Does someone have a Solution? Best regards
Oh darn. I definitely don't think that should happen. I followed the instructions on tucking the wires into the cavities behind the TV into the wall mount pretty meticulously, and I didn't seem to run into that problem. And I'm probably the least handy person you could meet. Hopefully you can get that figured out.
I'm installing the 50" frame with the rotating mount. I'd like to know if I can just use the "F Screw" (per 55" specs) instead of the "G Screw + D Spacer". Thank you!
Hey Kris, I really wish I could help, but I really am the least handy person you could meet. I’ll come clean and admit my friend installed it, I watched him, and he said it was a piece of cake. Hope you find your answer!
6th generation and they still barely have any software functionality ... I'm glad I got this one and not a prior model (actually ordered 2021's 5th generation on runout discount ... but somehow my order got lost in the system and 4 months later the shop game me the updated model at the same price!), but gee it's rather disappointing.
Came here just to double check if I had faulty "auto" rotate wall mount. There is nothing auto about this wall mount! I thought it will rotate whenever it detects the right orientation but no! What a waste. Samsung even makes you edit photos in the app in the orientation it will be displayed, I thought they will incorporate this and send a code to the TV what orientation user wants this picture and whenever that picture hits the slideshow, read the code and rotate but nooooo. Bravo samsung engineers bravo. This could have been programmed within a day. Again, this is not auto rotation wall mount, its just motorised rotation wall mount.
My thoughts exactly. I've done away with Samsung's UI entirely, and have the TV hooked up to a Mac now, and use the desktop wallpaper screen to shuffle photos. It finally gave me the opportunity to functionally use both landscape and portrait pictures, albeit without the ability to AUTO rotate. Samsung does boggle the mind though with how badly they neglect this product's software, especially given how good the hardware's design is.
@@arko986 So it's a dedicated Mac for the TV. The biggest annoyances of the built-in art mode for me were (a) that there was no way to create dedicated albums, i.e. one with just portrait photos and another with landscape, and (b) if you really like adding a lot of photos, it sucks having to manually remove the automatically applied matte border. Using a Mac UI allows you to make as many sub-folders as you want (for instance, I create some sub-folders just for art, others for sports pictures, others for music pictures), and you can actually switch between portrait and landscape photos. For adding photos, I was able to add thousands of photos by sharing a Dropbox folder among all my devices, so I just use that dropbox folder for the wallpaper. No more one-by-one adding of photos onto the stupid TV, removing the default white border, which took so much time. Another nice touch is that if you like high res photos, you have virtually unlimited hard drive space. Definitely an extravagant solution, but I've really been enjoying it.
This is great, thanks so much for the review. Answered all my questions, probably should've checked this out before I bought it lol
Great review!
Really good, thoughtfully produced review - thanks!
I’m very torn on this vs the standard mount just because I’m concerned about the increased gap from the thicker mount ruining the ‘it’s an art piece not a tv’ effect I really want.
Thanks! At the risk of sounding like a defensive salesperson, I would say that the difference in the gap between the two is fairly imperceptible.
Hi. We had the same concern. But with an additional decorative frame, it really isn’t noticeable. And, you need room for the wires to move.
Helpful vid...but how do you get your art to fill the screen when the TV is vertical
I'd love more info how you hid the wires!
Can you set whether it should rotate clockwise or anti clockwise? Both back and forward (ie from vertical to horisontal). Thanks! :)

Using a Mac UI allows you to make as many sub-folders as you want (for instance, I create some sub-folders just for art, others for sports pictures, others for music pictures), and you can actually switch between portrait and landscape photos.
For adding photos, I was able to add thousands of photos by sharing a Dropbox folder among all my devices, so I just use that dropbox folder for the wallpaper. No more one-by-one adding of photos onto the stupid TV, removing the default white border, which took so much time.
Another nice touch is that if you like high res photos, you have virtually unlimited hard drive space.
Definitely an extravagant solution, but I've really been enjoying it.
Are you connecting the Mac to it via Apple TV? Or how exactly have you connected the Mac to it?
What about the major evil con that the TV now has LARGE FORMAT ADVERTISING IN ITS USER INTERFACE!!! 🤬
