Save Hundreds Off Samsung's Frame TVs, but Do It Soon Before It's Too Late

CNET5 days ago
With the summer sports almost here, there has never been a better time to replace your old TV with something a little more capable. Buying a new TV normally just means making sure it has all of the best viewing features you can get, but Samsung's The Frame models look just as good off as they do when they're on.
Right now, Samsung's stylish Frame TVs can be had with huge discounts, meaning they now starting at just $670. There are sizes ranging from 43 inches all the way to 85 inches on offer.
These 2024 Frame TVs offer 4K resolution for detailed images and a QLED display for excellent brightness and contrast. This is a smart TV that you can connect to your Wi-Fi network, so you can watch your preferred online content and streaming apps. The only catch? These prices won't last long, so you might want to hurry up before the deals expire.
Originally launched back in 2017, The Frame is famous for its intention to blend into your home by posing as a classical artwork carousel when you're not enjoying your sports and shows. You can even buy bezels for your Frame to hide the already-thin bezels and really sell your sophisticated, "tech-free" living space. Its matte 120Hz display makes it look more like a physical print or painting than a regular TV would.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
The upgrades for the 2024 series bring a dynamic refresh rate that proves especially handy when in Art Mode, allowing the TV to sip energy rather than gulp it, constantly refreshing a static image. HDR mode is also brighter, helping create a better contrast and more dynamic image, something that matte TVs like The Frame can need to overcome the soft glow matte screens can get in bright environments.
Looking for a smart TV but want to explore all your options? Check out our roundup of more TV deals you can shop right now.
Why this deal matters
The Samsung Frame TV is one of the most stylish options on the market. It looks sublime basically anywhere, but that usually comes with a hefty price tag. Because of that, any deep discount is worth paying attention to.

Here's How to Show the Volume Bar on Your iPhone's Lock Screen Again

If you're listening to music or a podcast and want to change the volume without unlocking your iPhone, then you probably press the buttons on the side of your phone. Those buttons can increase or decrease your volume a set amount, but they could leave you choosing between a volume that is slightly too loud or a bit too quiet. If you keep your iPhone up to date with the latest iOS releases, you can bring the volume bar back to your device's Lock Screen, giving you more precise control over your iPhone's volume without unlocking your device. Apple removed the volume bar from your Lock Screen when the company released iOS 16 in 2022. But when the company released iOS 18.2 in December, that update allowed you to bring the volume bar back to your iPhone's Lock Screen. If you like using the volume bar, you can return it to your Lock Screen. Here's how you can reintroduce the volume bar to your Lock Screen in a few easy steps. How to get the volume bar on your iPhone 1. Open Settings. 2. Tap Accessibility. 3. Tap Audio & Visual under Hearing. 4. Tap the toggle next to Always Show Volume Control. Apple/CNET Now, the next time you're listening to music or a podcast at the gym or on the bus, you can change the volume by using the slider on your Lock Screen. For more on iOS 18, here's what you need to know about iOS 18.6 and iOS 18.5, as well as our iOS 18 cheat sheet. You can also check out what you should know about iOS 26 and my first impressions of the iOS update.

I'm a TV expert who's picky about performance — these are the 5 TVs I'd buy for under $500 right now

As a TV expert, I field my fair share of questions about the best TVs money can buy, but I get asked about cheap TVs from friends, family and readers more than anything else. It makes sense: Not everyone is looking for high-end performance or fancy features they might not ever use. With the summer winding down and the season of sales rapidly approaching, I thought I'd put together an up-to-the-minute, top-five list of my favorite TVs under $500. They're not peak performers, but they're much better than flimsy, bottom-of-the-barrel sets. My name is Michael, and for over ten years I've been the person everyone in my immediate circle asks for advice when the time comes to upgrade their TV. I don't mind, though, because affordable TVs are often the hardest to shop for. There's a thin line between an low-cost, reliable TV and a cheap, undependable one — and I'm quite familiar with it. The Samsung Q7F is on deck for testing, so we can't speak to its performance metrics, but I've seen this TV in person and I'm confident that it's a reliable pick for folks shopping at or below $500. The Q7F doesn't feature local dimming (or Mini-LEDs, for that matter), so if you can justify the extra $50, I still recommend the Panasonic W95A and the TCL QM6K over it due to their superior display technology. Nevertheless, the Q7F is a quantum dot-enhanced Samsung TV, which should fit the needs of someone who's especially appreciative of the Samsung aesthetic. Remember: No Samsung TV supports Dolby Vision, so adjust your expectations accordingly. The Samsung Q7F isn't as flashy as some of the other TVs on this list, but if you're a fan of Samsung software and design, it'll meet your needs for under $500. Just keep in mind that this TV doesn't support Dolby Vision, the most popular enhanced HDR format. This is by far my favorite TV on this list. The Panasonic W95A impressed me when it debuted last year at $1,299. Now that it's below $500, I think it's one of the best-kept secrets on the market. The W95A not only delivers exceptional brightness (which is critical if you get a lot of watching done during the day), it also features terrific backlight control. These two performance features put it well ahead of every other TV on this list. I should mention that the W95A is a Fire TV, meaning it leverages Amazon's Fire TV operating system for all of the built-in streaming features. Fire TV is not my favorite platform, as its UI is relatively cluttered and navigation can be sluggish at times. Still, at this price point, the W95A's sensational performance makes it easy to look past these shortcomings. Panasonic's fantastic Mini-LED TV has never been more affordable, so it's worth pouncing on this right away. You're not just getting a great sale price with the W95A, you're also getting a superb, 55-inch Mini-LED TV loaded with extra features. We dug this TV when it was over a thousand bucks, and we really dig it now that it's below $500. If you're shopping at the 55-inch size point and the Panasonic W95A doesn't suit your taste, check out the TCL QM6K, another Mini-LED TV that's currently on sale for a hair below $500. You can peruse our TCL QM6K review for a full report, but here's what I love about this TV: It's just bright enough for the average living room and it comes with Google TV baked right in. For most people shopping in this price range, Google TV is a great software suite to have in one's back pocket. It's easy to use and offers top-tier app support. If the inclusion of Fire TV scared you away from the Panasonic W95A, the 55-inch QM6K might be a better choice. The QM6K represents one of the most affordable ways to land a Mini-LED TV at the 55-inch size point. Google TV is available right out of the box, and the TV's relatively modest Mini-LED backlight keeps scenes visually appealing. It also comes with a handful of useful gaming features. Roku TVs tend to be laser-focused at the type of TV-shopper who just wants a dependable, easy-to-use smart TV, and the 65-inch Roku Plus Series is just that. Why do I love the Roku experience so much? There are three reasons: Its app support is among the best you'll find, there are minimal ads across the user interface and, as mentioned, it's incredibly easy to use. From a performance standpoint, this TV isn't as impressive as the previous two, but you are getting quantum dot-color for your troubles. The Roku Plus Series' superb software is the real selling point. The Roku Plus Series is a perfect fit for folks who just need an easy-to-use TV above all else. Thanks to Roku's excellent app support and minimal ad experience, the Plus Series is the most user-friendly TV on this list. If you passed on the aforementioned, 55-inch TCL QM6K because you're looking for a 65-inch model, why not go for the step-down QM5K? Full disclosure: We haven't tested the QM5K yet, but given its place in TCL's 2025 TV lineup and some of its specs, I'm confident that this set is worth a look. Like the QM6K, the QM5K arrives with Google TV. It also features Mini-LED backlighting (though it probably doesn't wring as much out of this feature as the higher-end QM6K). Still, it's a 65-inch TV for under $500, so it's worth checking out. The QM5K arrives with built-in Google TV features for all of your streaming needs, plus Dolby Vision support. Its handiest feature is its Mini-LED backlighting. If the 55-inch QM6K is too small, the 65-inch QM5K is a good compromise for around the same price.
