Samsung's turning all its 2025 TVs into The Frame and I'm here for it

Love my The Frame TV, but hate that they want you to sign up for a subscription to the art store. Free art content is extremely limited and hard to find (no "just show me the free stuff" filter). You can add your own artwork using the Smartthings app but this isn't easy, and there's no way to organize your own artwork and have it cycle through them (e g. - a folder of Christmas artwork). There is a LOT of room for improvement IMHO. Hopefully with the art store coming to more sets there will be an incentive for them to make some improvements but I'm not holding my breath. I'm sure they'd prefer to get more subscribers.

You make it a valid point here, I forget the Art Store is sub-based. I will say, at the very least updates to Tizen OS might bring generative AI wallpapers to older models, though I can’t say that for sure - nor is that a plausible fix for the issue here. You could always plug up a Roku and use backdrops (which is free), but that defeats the whole purpose. I hear you, thanks for this response. I’ll reach out to Samsung and see if improvements can be made.

Am I the only one who is completely baffled by the choices Samsung made in it's 2025 QLED series?

If the QN80F and QN90F are both featuring the Art Store and the anti-glare screens, then what is the purpose of the Frame Pro? I can't see why anyone would buy it with it's edge-lit display over these two FALD models. I bought a 2021 Frame model exclusively for the art feature, but would have opted for a QN80 over it in a heartbeat if the art store were available.

Also, why continue to offer the original Frame model along side the Frame Pro? From what I've read, the QN70F will use a mini-led, edge lit panel just like the Frame Pro. The Frame in past iterations has always shared the same panel as the QN70 series, so this isn't surprising. I just question the logic of keeping both versions of Frame TV, unless they're planning to offer the old tech (non-mini LED) version at a discount. Knowing Samsung, the more likely scenario is that they make the Frame Pro even more expensive.
