Samsung’s 65-inch Frame Pro is $1,447.99 ($752 off) — a new all-time low — at Woot. The 75-inch model is $1,897.99 ($1,302 off), also an all-time low at Woot. The TV’s main attraction is its “Art Mode,” which cycles through a gallery of famous paintings when you’re not actively using it. The artwork on the TV’s matte QLED display looks more like an actual painting display than they would on an LED or OLED screen.

Art mode requires a subscription ($50 per year) to access. Once you have an account, you can select the paintings you’d like to display, including world-famous works like Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night. Samsung refreshes the Art Store’s library, so you should check back often to see if a new painting catches your eye. There’s also a chance your favorite painting could get delisted, so it’s best to have plenty of options picked out.
Colors will look less vibrant on the Frame Pro’s matte screen than on a TV with an OLED or LED panel, but it also shows less glare from the sun or indoor lights. It displays thick bezels around artwork in Art Mode, but an edge-to-edge image when you’re watching videos or playing games. Samsung includes both a stand and wall mount for the TV, though we recommend using a wall mount if you want it to look more like an actual painting.
The Frame Pro only has one built-in HDMI port. Four additional HDMI ports — plus two USB-A ports, a coaxial port, Ethernet port, and optical audio port — are on the included Wireless One Connect Box. You connect your devices to that box, and it sends the audio and video from your game console or other gadget to the TV wirelessly. There’s some latency, but it shouldn’t be noticeable unless you’re playing a first-person shooter or fighting game that relies on precisely-timed inputs to win.
Three more great deals
- If you’re already in the holiday spirit, Lego’s Star Wars Advent Calendar is $26.99 ($18 off) at Amazon. The calendar contains 263 pieces and 24 toys, including buildable droids, and BB-8 dressed up like a snowman. Some of the mini builds fit a bigger theme, so you’ll slowly build up Babu Frik’s workshop throughout the month. It’s a little bit of holiday cheer to wake up to every morning.
- The lead up to the holidays can be a stressful time, but Headspace has cut the price of its monthly subscription to $6.49 ($6.50 off) and annual subscription to $34.99 ($35 off) on its website. The service includes access to over 500 guided meditations, sleep sounds, wind-down exercises, yoga, and focus music playlists you can access through its smartphone app.
- You can get a two-pack of Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Chargers for $21.99 ($36 off) at Woot, which is $8 less than Apple charges for one. The 1m cable can charge an Apple Watch Series 10 or later from zero to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. Older watches will take between 45 and 60 minutes to charge to that level. You’ll need the proper power adapter to charge an Apple Watch at its maximum speed, and we recommend Anker’s 47W 523, which is on sale for $17.99 ($12 off) at Amazon and from Anker’s website with promo code WS7DV2BA1LEU.
