Customize Your Display

Now that your art is on the TV, make it look perfect with these display settings.

Mat Settings

Choose "No Mat" for edge-to-edge display when your image is exactly 3840 x 2160 pixels. Or experiment with Samsung's built-in mat styles — some look stunning with the right artwork.

Slideshow

Upload multiple artworks and set your TV to cycle through them automatically. Go to Art Mode > Settings to configure rotation intervals.

Schedule & Brightness

Set your Frame TV to turn Art Mode on and off on a schedule. The TV also automatically adjusts brightness based on ambient light.

Pro Tips

Use 4K resolution

Always download the highest resolution available. Anything below 3840 x 2160 may look soft on screen.

Stick with sRGB

Samsung Frame TVs use sRGB. Other color profiles (Adobe RGB, ProPhoto) can shift colors noticeably.

Strip metadata

Remove EXIF data before uploading. Metadata can sometimes cause the "No Mat" option to disappear.

Save as JPEG

JPEG offers the best compatibility. PNG works too, but keep files under 20 MB for reliable uploads.
