Samsung QN85LS03BAFXZA Tv Review
Our verdict
The Samsung QN85LS03BA is a massive 85-inch Frame TV that doubles as wall art, pairing 4K QLED picture quality with a 120 Hz refresh rate at a premium price point. It suits living rooms where aesthetics matter as much as performance, though the $2,445 ask and limited early review pool mean buyers should weigh carefully.

50 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The QN85LS03BA is part of Samsung's The Frame lineup, a series built around the idea that a TV should look like framed artwork when idle. At 85 inches, it is one of the larger sizes available in this line, and the QLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate means motion handling and color volume are solid for everyday viewing.
Connectivity on this set is limited to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, with no wired Ethernet listed in the specs. For a TV at this price, that is a notable omission for anyone who wants a reliable streaming connection. The Tizen smart platform is Samsung's mature OS and works well, but the wireless-only setup is worth factoring in during setup planning.
At 100.1 lb, installation will require two people and a mount rated for the weight. The Charcoal Black finish works with The Frame's art-mode design, and Samsung sells optional bezels to customize the look. Early buyers rate it 3.8 out of 5 across 50 reviews, which suggests a mix of satisfied customers and some complaints worth reading before committing.

Cons
- No wired Ethernet, only Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

- Premium price with limited spec transparency on HDR support

What buyers say
With 50 reviews and a 3.8 out of 5 rating, buyer sentiment is cautiously mixed. The review count is thin for a product at this price, and the rating falls below the 4.0 threshold many shoppers use as a baseline. Buyers interested in The Frame concept should read through the existing reviews closely before purchasing.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Samsung QN85LS03BA support wired internet?
Based on the listed specs, this TV includes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi but does not list Ethernet as a connectivity option. If a stable wired connection is important for your setup, confirm directly with the seller before buying, as wireless-only connections can vary in reliability depending on your home network.
What makes The Frame different from a standard Samsung QLED TV?
The Frame series is designed to display artwork or photos when the TV is not in active use, making it look like a framed picture on the wall. Samsung sells customizable bezels in different finishes and colors to match room decor. The picture and smart features are otherwise similar to standard Samsung QLED sets at the same tier.
Is 120 Hz enough for gaming on this TV?
A 120 Hz native panel supports smoother motion than a 60 Hz set and is capable of running content at up to 120 frames per second, which is useful for console gaming on current-generation systems. However, HDR spec details are not confirmed in the available data, so gamers who rely on specific HDR modes should verify those features before purchasing.
