The 2025 Frame makes the television part of the room even when nobody is watching. The standard LS03F is the member to consider if you need 43 or 50 inches, or if you want to route a wired connection to a separate equipment box.

Pros
- A matte screen and Art Mode suit a prominent wall.
- The Slim Fit mount and separate One Connect box are part of the design.
Cons
- The 43- and 50-inch panels stop at 60 Hz.
- The cable still needs a route between the screen and the box.
Display
- 4K QLED LCD
- Matte screen
- Art Mode
A painting displayed on a TV is still lit from behind. The matte surface makes the effect more convincing by softening distinct reflections, while ambient brightness and the height of the artwork determine how it looks in the room. You can use your own photographs. Access to the full Art Store collection is a separate subscription.
Gaming
- 43 and 50 inches at 60 Hz
- 55 and 65 inches up to 144 Hz with PC
Someone pairing a console with the 50-inch and someone pairing it with the 55-inch are buying materially different motion capabilities. The 55- and 65-inch sets can also accept a high-refresh PC input. The smaller models make more sense for video and artwork than for a console's 120 Hz modes.
Size and Installation
- 43 / 50 / 55 / 65 inches
- Wired One Connect
Plan where the box and the devices plugged into it will live. The slim wall appearance depends on a clean path for the cable to the screen. Decorative bezels are separate accessories, so check the size and year of the bezel you like along with the mounting clearances.
Alternatives
The 2025 Frame Pro is available at 65, 75 and 85 inches and uses a wireless connection for the source equipment. It still needs wall power. At 65 inches, the cabinet location and cable route are good reasons to pick one over the other.
Verdict
Choose the standard Frame for the artwork installation. The 55-inch is the first size I'd consider if high-refresh gaming will share that wall.
