I have 2 Samsung frame TVs mounted in my office, living room and secondary bedroom. I decided to get another for my other secondary so my guests could have a tv while they visited. Having read favorable reviews, i thought I’d try this TCL sub brand as it was cheaper and reviews mentioned its picture quality was equal or superior.
Pros: cheaper, thinner and mounts even more flush to the wall than the frame tv. Picture quality also seems decent at first glance
Art mode is free, no subscription- but see below
Cons: No “one connect box” means all wires connect directly to the tv – you’ll need to get all the wires plugged in and hidden away before mounting which is a pain relative to the one connect box on the frame tv
Art mode sucks – it doesnt automatically default into the art mode when not in use like the frame tv. More importantly, you cant choose a specific artwork or frame it – it just cycles every few minutes through a random set of paintings or photos. One of the great things about the frame tv is you can set a perfect photo or painting that fits with the theme of your room, but this is impossible with this one. This is by far the biggest flaw with this tv, and in hindsight i wish id just spent the couple hundred bucks more for the frame tv.
