12 owner reviews, fewer 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
This is a renewed Samsung Frame-series 65-inch QLED TV, model CRT2SAMQN65LS03DA. The original Frame TV is designed to display art when idle, blending into a room decor. The set runs at 120 Hz with Tizen OS and Bluetooth plus Wi-Fi connectivity. At 50.3 lb and 10.3 x 57.4 x 34.2 inches, it is a typical 65-inch form factor.
The concern here is the rating. A 3.8-star average from 12 reviews is below average for this category. While the sample is small, the lower score indicates that several buyers were unsatisfied, which for a refurbished unit could point to inconsistent quality control between units. The art-mode functionality of the Frame TV also depends on software that works correctly, adding another variable for a renewed purchase.
At $899.80, this sits at a price where new non-Frame 65-inch 4K QLEDs are available. Unless the Frame's art-display feature specifically appeals to you, a new set in the same price range may offer better reliability.
Pros
- 65-inch 4K QLED panel with 120 Hz refresh rate
- Tizen OS with full streaming app support
- Frame-series design blends with room decor
- Lower price than a new Samsung Frame TV
Cons
- 3.8-star rating from 12 reviews is below average
- Refurbished condition adds uncertainty on art-mode and software features
- Only Amazon Renewed 90-day coverage, no manufacturer warranty
- Priced close to new non-Frame QLED alternatives
Performance notes
The 65-inch QLED panel runs at 120 Hz and outputs 4K UHD resolution. Connectivity includes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The unit is 10.3 x 57.4 x 34.2 inches and weighs 50.3 lb. Tizen handles the smart platform duties.
What buyers say
With 12 reviews averaging 3.8 stars, there is enough data to indicate real buyer dissatisfaction. This is a below-average score for a TV listing, and for a refurbished purchase it deserves extra scrutiny. Buyers who have reviewed this product seem split between those satisfied with the price and those who experienced quality issues.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Samsung Frame TV's art-mode work normally on a renewed unit?
The art-mode feature relies on Samsung software and an ambient light sensor built into the hardware. On a properly refurbished unit it should work, but there is no guarantee all software features are fully intact on every renewed set. Verifying art-mode during the return window is a smart first step after setup.
Why is the rating lower than other renewed Samsung TVs?
A 3.8-star average from 12 reviews can reflect inconsistency in the refurbishment process for this specific model or batch. Frame TVs have more complex software and design requirements than standard TVs, which may make the quality floor harder to hit consistently in a renewed program.
Is $899.80 a good price for a renewed Samsung Frame TV?
The Samsung Frame regularly retails new in the $1,200 to $1,500 range for a 65-inch model. At $899.80 there is a discount, but new 65-inch non-Frame QLEDs from Samsung and competitors sell in a similar price range. If the art-display design is not a priority, a new standard QLED offers better value and warranty protection at a comparable price.
