The Frame Pro’s Wireless One Connect box can move a console, cable receiver and their HDMI leads away from the wall display. The set still needs power. It also has an easily overlooked alternative for a gaming device: a direct micro-HDMI input at the TV. Which connection you choose matters as much as the screen’s stated 144 Hz ceiling.

Pros

  • The wireless box simplifies where the main source equipment can live.
  • A direct input at the display offers a lower-latency gaming route. 1

Cons

  • The wireless path introduced noticeable input delay in independent testing. 1
  • Edge-lit local dimming is a compromise for dark-room films. 1

Gaming & Connectivity

  • 4 full-size HDMI on the box
  • 1 micro-HDMI on the TV

RTINGS measured 6.6 ms of input lag at 4K120 using the 65-inch model’s direct input, versus noticeably higher delay through the wireless box. At 4K60 the direct route measured 11.1 ms. Plan that cable before mounting a console-only setup. A movie player is a better candidate for the convenient remote box because it does not need immediate response to a controller. 1

Display

  • Matte 4K LCD
  • Edge-lit local dimming
  • HDR10+

The matte surface and SDR brightness handled bright direct light well in RTINGS’ room. The same review found more limited dark-room dimming and some blur in moving players. That combination fits a wall where artwork is visible all day better than a room built around late-night cinema. 1

Size & Installation

  • 55, 65, 75 or 85 inches
  • 65-inch VESA: 400 × 300 mm

The LS03HW Frame Pro comes in 55, 65, 75 and 85 inches. On furniture, the 65-inch spans 41 inches between its feet. The 75-inch offers wide and narrow positions, at 49 and 13.4 inches. Check the stand drawing for the exact size if you are moving up without changing your cabinet. Wall brackets vary too, from a 200 × 200 mm pattern on the 55-inch to 400 × 300 mm on the 65-inch.

Art Mode & Smart TV

  • Personal photos
  • Rotating free art selection
  • Full Art Store by subscription

You can display your own photographs, choose from Samsung’s rotating selection of free art or subscribe for access to the full Art Store. The art service needs Wi-Fi and a Samsung account. If you mainly want family photographs on the wall, you can try your own collection before paying for the catalogue. Tizen also runs the streaming apps when the screen returns to television duty.

Mounting & Sound

  • Included Slim Fit wall mount
  • Separate power for TV & box
  • 65-inch audio: 40 W

The Slim Fit wall mount comes with the Frame Pro. Decorative bezels are sold separately. The 65-inch screen weighs 48.1 pounds without its feet, and both the TV and Wireless One Connect box need power. Allow for those two outlets before choosing a wall. The TV has its own 2.0.2-channel, 40-watt sound system, so a separate bar is an additional item to place if you want one.

Alternatives

The standard 2026 Frame has built-in connections instead of the Pro’s Wireless One Connect box. In RTINGS’ comparison, the Pro produced a brighter picture, which matters if the TV faces a well-lit room. A 2025 Frame Pro owner already has a wireless box. For that owner, the day-to-day value of the 2026 set’s direct gaming connection matters more than buying another art TV for its model year. 1

Verdict

Choose the Frame Pro when both wall appearance and equipment placement matter. Plan power, the box position and any direct gaming cable together. A directly wired performance TV is a better use of the budget if the art display will rarely be on.
