Samsung QN43LS03DK1 Tv Review
Our verdict
The Samsung QN43LS03DK1 is a compact 43-inch Frame TV designed to display artwork when you are not watching, blending into a room rather than dominating it. At $797.99 and just 2 ratings, there is not enough buyer feedback to evaluate it independently, but the Frame concept has a well-established track record across Samsung's broader lineup.

2 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
The Frame series from Samsung is built around the premise that a TV should double as wall art. The QN43LS03DK1 presents QLED picture quality in a flat, bezel-free profile that sits flush against the wall with an optional customizable frame border. The 4K UHD panel delivers clean resolution for the 43-inch class, and Samsung's ecosystem supports a curated Art Mode gallery of paintings and photography.
Pros
- Distinctive art-frame design turns the screen into a display piece when not in use
- 4K QLED panel at 43 inches with Samsung's well-regarded color processing
- Slim profile designed to sit flush on the wall
- Lightweight at 34.2 lb
Cons
- Only 2 buyer reviews, providing essentially no crowd validation at this price
- At $797.99, it carries a significant premium over standard 43-inch QLED sets
- No refresh rate confirmed in available spec data
- Smart platform listed as Windows, which may reflect a data anomaly rather than the actual OS
Performance notes
Screen size is 43 inches with 4K UHD resolution. No refresh rate is confirmed in the available spec data. Dimensions are 43 x 27 x 7 inches. Weight is 34.2 lb. Connectivity is listed as RCA. The smart platform field shows Windows, which appears to be a data entry anomaly for a Samsung Frame TV, which typically runs Tizen. No HDR tier is confirmed.
What buyers say
With a 5.0 rating from 2 reviews, there is no statistical basis for meaningful sentiment analysis. The Frame concept is well-established in Samsung's product history, which carries more weight here than the current review count for this specific model.

Frequently asked questions
What is Samsung's Art Mode on the Frame TV?
Art Mode activates when the TV detects no one is actively watching. The screen switches to displaying artwork from Samsung's curated gallery, which includes paintings, photographs, and digital art. Some content is included at no charge, while the full Art Store library requires a subscription. The display adjusts brightness based on ambient light to mimic how art looks in natural conditions.
Does the Frame TV need a special wall mount?
Samsung sells an optional No Gap Wall Mount specifically for the Frame lineup that allows the TV to sit completely flush against the wall with no visible gap. A standard VESA mount also works if you do not mind a small gap. The slim profile of the Frame is most impactful when paired with the No Gap mount, which reinforces the art-on-wall appearance.
