Supplementing the OP, there are a number of other stores offering this Samsung pricing who have freebies or other benefits that may not be as good as BuyDig, but if you have preferences may interest you. I personally am going with Costco for the value of the Art Store Credit, 5 Year Warranty, 2% Executive Cashback, and Costco return policy, but otherwise may have gone directly through Samsung
with the amount of Samsung Points I have burning a hole in my pocket.

AAFES has been mentioned for being tax free for military members. No add ons.
Costco includes both a $50 Art Store Credit and Square Trade 5 Year warranty ($115 total value) - https://www.costco.com/.product.9943003.html.
Samsung Direct bundles the bezel for an additional $40 for first responders/military, and $50 for others. 2% CB on your favorite site, and some may have a bunch of Samsung points to use up - https://www.samsung.com/us/televi...s03tafxza/
Crutchfield is discounting the Bezel by $50 and 3% CB on some sites - https://www.crutchfield.com/p_305...Frame.html
It looks nicer on the wall when you aren't watching anything

Doesn't show Samsung as Employee Pricing. Nice way to suck us in.

Long story short....$864.99 delivered for a 50" Samsung The Frame TV and brown bezel bundle.

Edit: The $50 off for teachers/first responders/military is not supposed to apply to Samsung, nor televisions, but they did it no questions asked.
Did you ship it to somewhere that doesn't collect tax?
Best I could do with ABT was $985.96 OTD. ??
They said if you send me your order number then they can look up what kind of deal you got. But even with my student discount, it wouldn't get as low as your order did (mine would be $936).

Set it up today. Wife likes it; I... eh. Definitely a gimmick. Tried to upload some pictures, but all of them are forced to use a border/mat/shadowbox even though they're cropped to 16:9 or exactly 4k.

Its alright as a TV but I'll definitely have to tweak the picture settings. Nice in a family room, but picture not as a main tv or movie spot. Sidenote, I wish dumb TVs were still sold. First smart tv, another Nvidia Shield is already on order.

Samsung's "smart" TV functions I have found to be a joke. Clunky and don't work well. The last few smart TV's I've owned I've always immediately hooked up the Apple TV.

That was always my intentions. I didnt even plan on signing into a samsung let alone connecting it to wifi.. but the art mode requires it.

I love the idea of this TV. I've just been underwhelmed by the quality of the TV you get for the price. Although I very much would pay a premium for the art feature and sleek design in general... but I also would want this to be a top of the line TV. I'm not buying this to hang in the living room only to have to go upstairs to watch movies. One of the gripes I worry about is the angle viewing I read is subpar and to boot lack of pivoting from left to right when mounted. Would sit flush while not in use and you would angle when in use. Our seating area is off to the left of the TV mounting location so that bothers me. I was hoping the 2020 model would have been more of a step up. Fingers crossed for 2021!

Can someone eli5 (explain like I'm 5) what this is?

How is it different that a regular TV, advantages, disadvantages, etc.

I've never heard of this and kinda don't get it.

Shipped to Florida, so no tax from ABT. That's usually how I pick who does the price match, by who won't charge shipping/tax. In essence a price "match" becomes a price "discount". Not exactly the case here, but end result was the same.

I just don't know how there isn't more competition for the Frame. A flatscreen that actually sits flat against the wall. My OLED is as thick as a few credit cards stacked, but has a bulge near the bottom for the electrical components - seems that could easily be relocated to a separate box with a wire - go to it LG.

Actually, Samsung could do even better now by changing the shape of their standard QLEDs to being flat on the back and mounting without a gap with NO separate box. So what if the whole TV is an inch thicker -- hide it with a better frame. How would that not sell? Even so, the software for the Frame is awful.

I just had this delivered by buydig. The tv box was inside of another box which had no markings that the contents were fragile. Fedex literally cartwheeled it down my front steps (one guy), the box rotated at least three full times on the thin side. Scared to open the box and even if it's fine I'm concerned it may die a year from now. Regretting not buying from Costco and spending the extra $200 on the bezel

I just got my 43" set up today.

Initial impressions:
- The stock black "bezel" looks fine. It has a metallicy dark charcoal plastic finish.
- Off-axis color reproduction is good, so as you walk by the image doesn't shift much
- It was much heavier than I expected
- The mount is clever. It does sit flat on the wall but is not as thin as I expected. The bezel is 1.5" deep, which does look like a framed picture, more or less, and then there's a quarter inch behind that which is recessed for ventilation. So it is still sticking out 1.75" from the wall total.

Disappointments:
- the "one wire" is thin and unobtrusive, but using their wire routing ONLY exits at the center bottom of the set. In my case it would have been perfect exiting right side bottom edge.

- Initial picture quality impressions is that this is a good but not amazing TV

- the one connect box I actually like, if only the wire were easier to deal with

- It really isn't fooling anybody. If you are within 8' of it, it looks like a TV. Maybe slightly more art-like than a regular TV but that's about it.

I bought it primarily to use as a second monitor in my home office (for presenting) and hung it on the wall next to me where I had a photo. It looks good and gives me some visual interest but I am way too close to it to be fooled. I will admit it DOES look pretty convincing when displaying an oil painting as the depth of the paint adds a bit.

Overall I rate it a 5/10 on sale with a 5 year warranty, (costco) at full price I probably would have returned it. It probably would be very cool if your normal viewing distance was 12+ foot away.

I would enjoy this in my living room on a 75" set but I'd need it to be a super high end panel to justify it.

I bought a different Samsung tv recently and came across this one so I looked into it briefly. I decided it was a gimmick and at the time it wasn't on sale, so I didn't look into it any further. Basically, this TV will look "really nice" when not in use and it looks more like a "frame" than a TV.

You can have it display "art" or family pictures of whatever you want when not watching/gaming.

I'm pretty sure my Q70R has the option to do the same thing except it looks like a regular TV on a TV stand. The TV in this post, you would mount flush on a wall.

Honestly, I'm not a TV expert but if there is a cheaper TV with the same specs, then get that instead, unless you want to be able to match your tv to your wallpaper or whatever.

I went searching to see what the weight of this tv is and apparently Crutchfield is selling the 43 inch model for 797 with free shipping

Did you receive the bezel? Mine was missing and only the TV unit arrived.
