It's actually a good TV now!. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Samsung has just unveiled its new The Frame Pro TV, which finally adds the company's Neo QLED mini-LED tech to The Frame range that previously relied on edge-lit QLED displays.

Not only that, but The Frame Pro also adds a Wireless One Connect external connection box, meaning that you can hang The Frame Pro on the wall with a power cable going into it and nothing else – all your set-top boxes and so on connect into the wireless external streaming box, which you can place anywhere within 33 feet of the TV (including inside a cabinet), and the video is beamed in 4K 144Hz over to the TV. Samsung says there should be no noticeable latency here – specifically, the latency is said to be around 1.5 frames, and well under 20ms.

I saw The Frame Pro in action next to a regular 2024 The Frame TV, and the difference is staggering. We've always had a slightly cool relationship with The Frame TVs here on TechRadar, because they're wildly popular and we understand why people like them, but it always rankled that they used such mediocre image tech.

For those who know Samsung's range, The Frame has always been equivalent to the Q70 models, meaning and edge-lit QLED panel with Samsung's Dual-LED tech, but with a matte display that elevates back tones and weakens the already-middling contrast. Now, The Frame Pro is still equivalent to Samsung's Q70 range… it's just that in 2025, we're talking about a model called the QN70F that's a new cheaper mini-LED model. On top of all this, Samsung has also added variable refresh rate support up to 144Hz, making it a better gaming TV.
