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 CRTE99SAMQN55LS03DA is a certified-renewed Samsung Frame TV in the 55-inch class, with a 4K UHD panel and 120 Hz refresh rate. The Frame series is built around the idea that the TV should look like wall art when not in use, with a matte finish and customizable bezel styling. The Tizen operating system is the same found on new Samsung sets, with full app support including major streaming services.
At 54.5 inches measured diagonally, this set sits at the large end of the 55-inch category. The chassis measures 9 by 48.7 by 29.3 inches and weighs 38.1 pounds, which is manageable for a two-person wall-mount installation. Connectivity is listed as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi only, so buyers who need multiple wired HDMI inputs should verify port availability before purchasing.
The $926 asking price represents a noticeable savings over the equivalent new Frame TV, but the single 5-star review provides no real signal about typical unit quality. Amazon Renewed certification implies the unit has been inspected and restored to working order, but individual results can vary.
Pros
- Substantial savings versus new Frame TV pricing
- 120 Hz panel supports smoother motion than entry-level 60 Hz sets
- Frame series art-display mode for aesthetic appeal when idle
- Tizen smart platform with broad app support
Cons
- Only one review, no meaningful buyer consensus
- Connectivity listed as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi only, wired port count unclear
- Renewed condition means unknown prior use history
Performance notes
The 4K UHD QLED panel at 120 Hz is the same specification range as the new Frame-series units. QLED quantum dot technology generally delivers wider color gamut compared to standard LED-backlit displays. At 38.1 pounds and 48.7 inches wide, the set is on the lighter end of 55-inch class TVs, which makes handling easier during installation.
What buyers say
One review with a 5-star rating is statistically meaningless. It may reflect a genuinely good unit or simply an early purchaser who had not yet encountered any issues. Buyers should factor in the Amazon Renewed return window as their primary protection and not rely on the star rating for purchase confidence.

Frequently asked questions
What does Amazon Renewed certification actually cover?
Amazon Renewed products are inspected and tested by Amazon or a qualified supplier to verify they work and look like new. Renewed items typically come with a 90-day Amazon Renewed guarantee, meaning you can return the item for a replacement or refund if it does not work as expected. This is separate from the original manufacturer warranty, which may not transfer on renewed products.
Is a 55-inch Frame TV suitable for a smaller living room?
Samsung generally recommends viewing distances of around 7 to 9 feet for a 55-inch 4K TV. In smaller rooms where the set will also be on display as art during the day, the 55-inch size keeps the visual footprint manageable without overwhelming the wall space. The matte finish also reduces distracting reflections in bright rooms.
