Short version: the newest Samsung Frame is the 2026 Frame (LS03HE). The 75-inch model we reviewed was the 2024 LS03D. The 2026 version drops the separate One Connect box, moves to 144Hz and Wi-Fi 6E, and weighs less. Buy the 2026 Frame for the cleanest wall install. Save with an older Frame if you find one discounted and don’t mind the extra box, since picture quality didn’t take a big leap.

The Frame is the TV for people who hate how TVs look. When it’s off, it shows art in a frame-style bezel, so your living room looks like a gallery instead of a sports bar. That idea hasn’t changed. What changed is how it hangs and connects. Here’s the comparison, based on Samsung’s specs and published reviews (we didn’t test it hands-on).
The Frame 2026 vs 2025 vs 2024 (75-inch): what changed

What matters in real use
- No box can be a plus or a minus. Older Frames sent every cable to a separate One Connect box you could hide in a cabinet. The 2026 model has the ports on the TV, so plan where your cables go before you mount it.
- Gamers get a small bump. 144Hz with VRR is nice for PC and console players, but this is still a lifestyle TV first.
- Picture isn’t a giant leap. Reviews citing RTINGS testing note the standard 2026 Frame still has no local dimming and no Dolby Vision. If picture quality matters most, look at the Frame Pro or a regular QLED or OLED.
- Lighter is easier to hang. About 5.5 kg less at 75 inches makes a wall mount a little less scary.
Want the fancy one? The Frame Pro
Samsung also sells the 2026 Frame Pro (LS03HW), which uses a Neo QLED Mini LED panel and a wireless One Connect box. It’s the pick if you want better contrast and brightness and still want the art-frame look.
Who should buy which
- Buy the 2026 Frame if you’re mounting a new TV on the wall and want the simplest setup.
- Save with a 2024 or 2025 Frame if you find a clearance deal. You keep Art Mode and the matte screen, and the One Connect box is handy if your cables have to hide in a cabinet. New stock of older Frames is limited, so check the seller before you buy.
- Skip the Frame if you mostly watch movies in a dark room. Read OLED vs QLED first.
Gift it to: the couple who just bought a house and “don’t want a black rectangle on the wall”, or the person who says TVs ruin a room’s vibe.
