You can use it as a regular television, display your own photos or enjoy museum-like art with a subscription service. It can be mounted flat onto a wall, has a wood-style bezel and no visible lights or operating panels that would reveal its true nature as a television. In a nutshell, The Frame is a television disguised as a picture frame. I was able to use my neighbour’s The Frame as Samsung couldn’t provide me a review model. There are no financial or material donations to be disclosed.

I updated the 2nd para of my post with a bit more info (links to AVS forum), but on the plus side, from everything I've read, most people who bought the set are quite satisfied and can't tell the difference (unless they run the test pattern (The Quick Brown fox one).My tests are unbiased. I guess with nothing to compare it to I'll just keep telling myself its 4k. At least 3K is still better than 1080, and the photos do look very good. If so not the great bargain I thought it was. I'll have to check the pixels on my unit out.

In other words, the effective resolution of the "4K" TV is really three-quarters the stated resolution (2880 horizontal pixels), and even though it claims to support 4:4:4 over HDMI 2.0 60Hz, I'm betting text won't be nearly as sharp as it is on RGB-layout TVs (all other LG TVs). I briefly had the LG UF7300 (a 60" set sold for $899 on BF), and which, incidentally, eschews the RGBW layout for the more typical RGW.

Regarding contrast ratio, I think IPS is a fine choice for your intended use. Nevertheless, the set does NOT meet the CEA (consumer electronics association) standard for 4K. LG, in its defense, argued that it did so to make 4K available at a more affordable price-point. But I suspect this is of little/no consequence to you-given the intended usage. You can easily verify the sub-pixel layout by entering your phone's camera app, zooming in, and positioning the phone such that the pixel grid is visible. More info on this at the AVSForum thread (MikeK614's post towards the bottom) and HDTV Test. More information on this at as well as HD Guru. The LG UF6400 lineup as well as the UB6800 drew much controversy earlier this year when it was revealed that their subpixel layout was RGBW rather than the typical RGB. Is it something else? (BTW its the UF6430, which I assume is similar)īecause I believe it's a "fake" 4K TV. For the purpose of displaying pictures in a bright room, that isn't a big factor and for me is outweighed by the wide viewing angles. why? If you are going to say black levels are poor, then that I know.
