The Samsung Frame and Frame Pro are the most installation-sensitive TVs on the market. The wrong mount — or a single visible cable — defeats the entire point. Here's exactly how we install them right, every time.
Samsung's Frame TV lineup is built around a single idea: a television that looks like art. When it's off, it displays your favorite paintings, photographs, or patterns in a matte finish frame that blends into your home. When it's on, it's a reference-grade QLED display. The technology inside is impressive — but the installation is where that vision either succeeds or fails completely.
At Smarthome Techs LLC, we've installed Frame and Frame Pro TVs across Colorado-Denver, Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Parker, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Littleton, Cherry Hills, Greenwood Village and Englewood. South Florida — living rooms in Boca Raton, master bedrooms in Palm Beach Gardens, and above fireplaces throughout the West Palm Beach area. Every single installation starts with the same process: understanding the wall, choosing the right mount, and eliminating every visible cable. This guide walks through exactly how we do it.
Samsung Frame vs Samsung Frame Pro: What's the Difference for Installation?
Before we talk mounts, it's important to understand the difference between the Samsung Frame and the Samsung Frame Pro — because they have different cable situations, and that affects how we plan the installation.
Samsung Frame (Standard) — Wired One Connect
The standard Samsung Frame uses a wired One Connect system. The TV itself has no HDMI ports, no power connection, and no tuner built in. All of that lives in a separate external box called the One Connect Box. A single slim cable — thinner than a standard HDMI cable — runs from the One Connect Box to the TV, carrying power, video, audio, and control signals through one barely-visible tether.
In a perfect installation, that One Connect cable disappears into the wall at the TV, routes through the wall cavity, and emerges at a cabinet or recessed location where the One Connect Box lives out of sight. The Strong VersaBox makes this possible cleanly and code-compliantly — more on that below.
Samsung Frame Pro — Wireless One Connect
The Samsung Frame Pro takes this further: the connection between the TV and the One Connect Box is wireless. There is no cable running between the TV and the box at all. The One Connect Box can sit up to 30 feet away — in a rack, a cabinet, or anywhere in the room — and transmits video and audio to the Frame Pro wirelessly.
This sounds like it solves the cable problem entirely. And for many wall installations, it does dramatically simplify things. But here's what clients often don't realize: the Frame Pro still needs power at the TV location. A power cable still runs from the TV to an outlet. And if that TV is going above a fireplace — which is one of the most common places we install Frame TVs — that power cable still needs to disappear.
KEY INSIGHT: The Frame Pro is wireless between the TV and the One Connect Box — but the TV still needs power. Above a fireplace, that power cable is just as visible and just as problematic as the One Connect cable on the standard Frame. The Strong VersaBox solves it for both models the same way.
Here's a full side-by-side of what differs between the two from an installation standpoint:
Feature | Samsung Frame (Standard) | Samsung Frame Pro |
One Connect Box | Included (external box) | Included (external box) |
TV-to-Box Connection | Slim wired One Connect cable | Wireless — no cable between TV and box |
Power to TV | Via One Connect cable | Separate power cable to TV |
One Connect Box Power | Plugs into outlet | Plugs into outlet |
Cable at TV location | One slim cable (power + signal) | One power cable only |
VersaBox needed? | Yes — hides cable + box | Yes — hides power cable + box |
Above fireplace use | VersaBox conceals cable in chase | VersaBox conceals power in chase |
Cleanliness rating | Excellent with VersaBox | Excellent with VersaBox |
Price point | Standard | Premium |
Best for | Most wall & fireplace installs | Purists, above fireplace, tight spaces |
Stud Placement: Getting It Right Before Anything Goes on the Wall
Whether you're installing the Frame or Frame Pro, the mount goes up first — and the mount goes into studs. Getting stud placement right is the most important part of the entire job. A Frame TV is meant to be permanent, displayed like art. You don't want to be re-doing this.
The Frame TV's VESA mounting pattern — the bolt hole configuration on the back of the TV — determines how the mount attaches, and which stud configurations work. Here's how the sizes map to standard stud spacing:
Frame TV Size | VESA Pattern | Stud Span Needed | Ideal Stud Config | Included Mount Fits? |
43"LS03FA only | 200 x 200 mm(~7.9" span) | ~8" | Single centered stud or 16" pair | ✓ Yes — Slim Fit included |
50"LS03FA only | 200 x 200 mm(~7.9" span) | ~8" | Single centered stud or 16" pair | ✓ Yes — Slim Fit included |
55"LS03FA & LS03HW | 200 x 200 mm(~7.9" span) | ~8" | Single centered stud — simplest install | ✓ Yes — Slim Fit included |
65"LS03FA & LS03HW | 400 x 300 mm(~15.75" span) | ~16" | 16" stud pair — standard framing ideal | ✓ Yes — Slim Fit included |
75"LS03HW only | 400 x 400 mm(~15.75" span) | ~16" | 16" stud pair — standard framing ideal | ✓ Yes — Slim Fit included |
85"LS03HW only | 600 x 400 mm(~23.6" span) | ~24" | 24" pair or blocking between 16" studs | ⚠ Blocking advised |
Standard stud spacing in most Florida wood-frame homes is 16 inches on center. Some older construction uses 24-inch spacing. In South Florida's CBS (concrete block structure) homes — which are extremely common in our market — there are no wood studs in exterior walls at all. We anchor directly into the concrete block using Tapcon masonry anchors rated for the TV's weight. The mount selection doesn't change, but the anchor hardware and technique do.
INSTALLER RULE: When studs don't align with the VESA pattern, we install horizontal blocking — a piece of solid lumber mounted horizontally between studs inside the wall cavity — giving us a solid anchor point exactly where we need it. We never use drywall anchors as the primary support for a Frame TV. Ever.
The Four Mount Options We Use for Samsung Frame and Frame Pro
Option 1: Samsung No Gap Wall Mount (Included) — The right call when everything lines up
Samsung includes a No Gap wall mount in the box with every Frame TV. When conditions are right, it's the best mount for the job — engineered specifically for the Frame TV, it sits the panel flush against the wall with virtually no gap, exactly as Samsung designed it to look.
We use the included Samsung mount when:
Studs align cleanly with the TV's VESA pattern at the chosen placement location.
The wall is standard drywall over wood studs at 16" or 24" on center.
Fixed position is what the client wants — no tilt, no movement, permanent gallery placement.
The VersaBox location works directly behind or below the TV for clean cable routing.
We don't use the included mount when:
Studs don't align — we won't compromise the anchor to force the included bracket to work.
The wall is concrete block — the included hardware isn't designed for masonry.
Any tilt is needed — the No Gap mount is fixed. Period.
The TV is going above a fireplace — that's a MantelMount job.
The Strong Razor Fixed is our professional-grade alternative when a flush, fixed installation is the goal but the included Samsung bracket isn't the right tool. The Razor Fixed sits under an inch off the wall, matches the Frame TV's aesthetic, and carries higher weight ratings with broader VESA compatibility — giving us the flexibility to anchor correctly regardless of stud situation.
We specify the Strong Razor Fixed when:
Studs don't cooperate with the VESA pattern and we've installed blocking — the Razor Fixed's wider plate spans the blocking cleanly.
Concrete block walls: paired with Tapcon masonry anchors for a solid, professional anchor in CBS construction.
Metal stud framing: common in condos and commercial spaces — the Razor Fixed with a backing plate gives us the solid anchor drywall alone can't provide.
The 75" or 85" Frame TV: where the included mount's weight rating is marginal and we want the confidence of a rated professional mount.
Fine positioning is needed: the Razor Fixed allows micro-adjustment after mounting before final lockdown — useful when the placement has to be exact.
The Strong Razor Tilt maintains a nearly flush profile when flat but allows a downward tilt of typically 5 to 15 degrees — bringing the picture to a comfortable viewing angle when the TV is placed higher than ideal eye level. On a Frame TV, we always have an honest conversation before specifying a tilt mount: tilted art looks wrong. But function sometimes has to take priority.
We specify the Razor Tilt when:
High bedroom wall placement: the TV is above standard eye level and a reclined viewing position needs the picture angled down.
Split-level rooms: where seating relationships to the wall aren't standard.
The client insists on a high placement and comfort has to come before the gallery-flat aesthetic.
ABOVE FIREPLACE NOTE: Above a fireplace is the one high-placement scenario where we don't use the Razor Tilt — we use the MantelMountPRO MM860v2 instead. The MantelMount is purpose-built for above-fireplace TV installation in a way a standard tilt mount simply isn't.
Option 4: MantelMountPRO MM860v2 Pro Series Automated Drop Down & Swivel — The above-fireplace solution — and the showstopper install
The MantelMountPRO MM860v2 Pro Series is the mount we specify whenever a Frame TV or Frame Pro is going above a fireplace — or when a client wants the TV to appear and disappear on command. It's a motorized, automated mount that drops the TV down from its stored position above the fireplace to a comfortable eye-level viewing height, and swivels to face any direction in the room. All of it controlled by a button, a remote, or — in our installations — integrated directly into Control4.
Why Above-Fireplace TV Installation Needs the MantelMount
Mounting a TV above a fireplace is one of the most requested installs we do in South Florida. It's also one of the most frequently done wrong. The problem with a standard fixed or tilt mount above a fireplace is neck strain — the TV ends up 60 to 72 inches from the floor, and viewers spend an entire movie looking upward. Over time it's genuinely uncomfortable.
The MantelMountPRO MM860v2 solves this completely. The TV stores high on the wall — above the fireplace, out of the sightline — and drops to eye level for viewing. When the movie ends, it returns to its stored position. The Frame TV displays art in its stored position. The room looks intentional and clean regardless of whether anyone is watching.
MM860 Installation Requirements — What Your Wall Must Have
The MM860 is a precision motorized system that weighs over 40 pounds before the TV is attached. According to MantelMount's official installation manual, your installation site must meet all of the following before installation begins:
Wood stud framing required: the MM860 must mount into wood studs. At least 2 studs must be available in the mounting area. CBS concrete block walls require a different anchor approach — contact us to assess.
TV must be larger than 50" diagonal: the MM860 is not rated for TVs under 50 inches.
TV must be VESA compliant: hole spacing width 200–600mm, height 100–600mm. All Frame LS03FA and Frame Pro LS03HW models 55"–85" are compatible.
Combined weight under 125 lbs (57 kg): TV plus any soundbar attached to the mount must stay under this limit.
Wall covering must not exceed 5/8" thick: standard drywall is fine. Tile surrounds or thick stone veneers require evaluation before installation.
Mantle depth must not exceed 19 inches: the MM860 arm physically cannot clear a mantle deeper than 19 inches. Measure from the wall face to the front edge of the mantle before we arrive.
Temperature at mantle front edge must stay under 110°F: this is a decorative fireplace application only. The MM860 is not rated for fireplaces used as a primary heat source. We verify this during our site assessment.
Mantle Depth and Required Clearance Height
The deeper your mantle extends from the wall, the higher the MM860 housing must be installed — because the TV arc when lowering must clear the mantle edge. Per the MM860 installation manual, here is the minimum additional clearance height required above the TV based on mantle depth:
Mantle extends less than 10": add 5" of clearance above TV height.
Mantle extends 10"–12": add 6" of clearance.
Mantle extends 12"–14": add 8" of clearance.
Mantle extends 14"–17": add 11" of clearance.
Mantle extends 17"–19": add 14" of clearance.
This is why we always measure your mantle depth during our pre-install assessment — it directly determines whether the MM860 fits your space and how high the housing must be positioned. A 75" Frame Pro on a 16" deep mantle, for example, needs approximately 11" of clearance above the TV height before we can confirm installation.
What the MM860 Does After It's Installed — Smart Features Built In
The MM860 is significantly more than a motorized arm. It ships with built-in intelligence that makes it ideal for smart home integration:
ALPS — Auto Lowering Power Sensor: when your TV is plugged into the MM860's onboard power socket, the mount monitors the TV's power draw. When you turn the TV on, the MM860 automatically lowers to your programmed Memory 1 viewing position — no remote needed. When the TV turns off, it raises back to the stored position after 10 seconds. The Frame TV shows art at rest. No separate input required.
ARHM — Auto Raising Heat Monitor: a thermocouple sensor inside the MM860 electronics housing monitors the temperature above the fireplace at all times. If temperature behind the TV exceeds 130°F (54°C), the mount automatically raises the TV to the stored position — protecting your TV from heat damage even if the fireplace is used unexpectedly.
Programmable soft stops: the MM860 has both hard mechanical stops and programmable soft stops for the lower position, upper position, and side-to-side swivel. These are calibrated during installation so the arm never swings into the mantle surround or contacts adjacent walls.
Memory positions (M1 and M2): two programmable viewing positions can be stored and recalled instantly with a button press on the RF remote — useful for different seating arrangements or viewing angles.
RF remote control: the included RF remote does not need to be pointed at the mount. It works from other rooms. We configure a dedicated storage location for the remote during installation.
Control4 & Home Automation Integration
The MantelMountPRO MM860v2 includes a built-in Ethernet port and supports IP control over your home network — making it a fully addressable device in a Control4 system. MantelMount provides official Control4 drivers through their dealer portal, which we use during every Control4 integration project. After integration:
Single scene activation: one tap on your Control4 touchscreen, keypad, or app triggers the MM860 to lower the TV to eye level, powers the TV on, switches the correct input, and activates your lighting scene — simultaneously.
Static IP assignment: we assign the MM860 a static IP address on your network through the MM860 Utility software during commissioning, ensuring the Control4 driver always finds the mount reliably.
DHCP or static: the MM860 supports both DHCP (automatic network assignment) and manually assigned static IP — we always use static for home automation reliability.
Firmware management: the MM860 can check for and receive firmware updates over the network automatically, or we can apply them manually during service visits.
This level of integration is why we call the MM860 + Frame Pro + Control4 combination our flagship above-fireplace package. Nothing else in this price range delivers this level of automated, hands-free, aesthetically clean television installation.
We specify the MantelMountPRO MM860v2 when:
The TV is going above a fireplace — this is the primary use case and the right tool for the job.
Control4 integration is in play: the MM860v2 integrates with Control4 so the TV descends, powers on, and lights dim from a single scene tap.
The client wants the TV to disappear: bedrooms, formal living rooms, or spaces that double as entertainment rooms.
Multi-directional viewing is needed: the swivel function lets the TV face different seating areas in open-plan spaces.
Why the MM860 Must Be Professionally Installed
MantelMount's own installation manual states explicitly: 'This product is intended to be installed by professional installation contractors, or persons familiar with the tools and methods required for this installation.' This is not boilerplate — it's accurate. The MM860 installation involves:
Drywall cutting: recessed installations require cutting an opening in the wall for the lift housing. Cut location must account for stud position, electrical, and the clearance lookup chart.
Structural blocking: when studs are not ideally placed, horizontal 2x4 blocking must be installed inside the wall cavity through the cutout. The MM860 includes adapter brackets specifically for this.
Three post-installation calibrations: the MM860 requires adjustment of the hard bottom stop, the soft bottom stop, and the side-to-side swivel stops after the TV is hung. None of these can be set before the TV is on the mount.
ALPS calibration: Auto Lowering Power Sensor thresholds must be tuned to the specific TV's power draw range — typically set 20% inside each end of the TV's operating range to prevent false triggers.
Control4 commissioning: IP addressing, driver loading, scene programming, and testing across all control points.
Our MantelMountPRO MM860v2 installation rate is $1,000 for standard drywall walls, and $1,500 where tile or stone surround requires specialized anchor techniques. This reflects the skill, time, and tools the installation genuinely requires.
PREMIUM INSTALL: A MantelMountPRO MM860v2 with a Samsung Frame Pro and Control4 integration is one of the cleanest installations we do. The Frame Pro's wireless One Connect means no cable drops down the fireplace chase — just a power connection handled by the VersaBox. The TV descends to eye level, swivels, powers on, displays your content. When the scene ends it retracts and the fireplace wall is clean again.
Why We Always Use the Strong™ VersaBox™ — For Both the Frame and Frame Pro
This is the part most installers skip — and it's why so many Frame TV installations look almost right but not quite. The Strong VersaBox is a recessed in-wall power and cable management system that installs inside the wall cavity. It creates a recessed box with a power outlet and cable pass-throughs that let us route cables through the wall completely invisibly. No surface raceways. No cable covers. No visible wires on the wall.
VersaBox for the Samsung Frame (Standard — Wired One Connect)
On the standard Frame TV, the slim One Connect cable runs from the TV into the wall at the VersaBox location directly behind the TV. It routes through the wall cavity and exits at a second VersaBox or pass-through at the cabinet, rack, or AV closet where the One Connect Box lives. Power for the One Connect Box plugs into the recessed outlet in the lower VersaBox. The result: the TV has a single slim cable disappearing into the wall, and everything else is completely hidden.
VersaBox for the Samsung Frame Pro (Wireless One Connect)
The Frame Pro is wireless between the TV and the One Connect Box — but the TV itself still needs power. A power cable runs from the TV to an outlet. Without the VersaBox, that power cable hangs visibly on the wall — defeating the entire gallery aesthetic. The VersaBox provides a recessed outlet directly behind the TV so the power cable disappears into the wall the moment it leaves the TV. Zero visible cables. The One Connect Box sits in a cabinet or rack anywhere in the room, connected wirelessly to the Frame Pro.
VersaBox Above the Fireplace — Frame and Frame Pro
Above-fireplace installations are where the VersaBox earns its place on every single job, regardless of which Frame model is being installed. Here's why:
Standard Frame above fireplace: the One Connect cable needs to run from the TV down through the fireplace chase — the cavity inside the wall beside or above the firebox — to the One Connect Box below or in a nearby cabinet. The VersaBox at the TV location provides the clean entry point into the chase, and a second box or recessed outlet at the bottom provides power and cable exit.
Frame Pro above fireplace: even without the One Connect cable, the TV power cable still needs to enter the wall cleanly at the TV and route through the chase to the outlet below. The VersaBox handles this exactly the same way — recessed outlet behind the TV, cable disappears, fireplace wall stays clean.
Both models: the VersaBox is UL listed and code-compliant for in-wall power — critical in permitted installations. We never run power cables inside walls without proper UL-listed solutions.
INSTALLER INSIGHT: A common mistake we see from other installers: running only the One Connect cable through the wall on a standard Frame and leaving the power brick visible. Or on a Frame Pro, assuming wireless means no cable work is needed. Both leave a visible power situation at the TV. The VersaBox closes that gap on every installation — Frame or Frame Pro, wall mount or MantelMount, fireplace or flat wall.
What a Complete VersaBox Installation Looks Like
VersaBox positioned directly behind the TV mounting location — inside the wall cavity.
Recessed outlet wired inside the VersaBox by a licensed electrician (required in Florida).
Cable pass-through installed for the One Connect cable (standard Frame) or left clean for the Frame Pro's power-only routing.
Lower exit point installed at cabinet height or behind AV furniture for One Connect Box access.
All cables routed through the wall cavity — no surface cables, no raceways, no visible anything.
One Connect Box placed in cabinet, rack, or recessed location with clean access to HDMI sources.
Our Complete Samsung Frame TV Installation Process
Here's how a Smarthome Techs LLC Frame TV installation goes from start to finish:
Site assessment: we identify wall construction (wood stud, metal stud, or CBS concrete block), locate studs, map the VESA pattern to stud positions, identify the fireplace chase or wall cavity routing path, and select the correct mount and VersaBox approach before any hardware is ordered or touched.
Mount installation: Samsung No Gap, Strong Razor Fixed, Strong Razor Tilt, or MantelMountPRO MM860v2 — anchored correctly into studs, concrete block, or blocking as the wall requires.
VersaBox installation: recessed in-wall power and cable management installed at the TV location and exit point, coordinated with a licensed electrician for the in-wall outlet.
Cable routing: One Connect cable (standard Frame) or power cable (Frame Pro) routed through the wall cavity or fireplace chase — completely out of sight.
One Connect Box placement: in a cabinet, AV rack, or recessed location with clean access for source connections.
TV hung and leveled: digital level used for precise alignment — a millimeter off is visible on a gallery-art display.
Art Mode configured: Samsung Art Mode, Art Store subscription, and ambient light sensor calibrated so the display looks its best in your room's lighting.
Control4 integration: if you have a Control4 system, the Frame TV and MantelMountPRO are programmed into your automation — one tap drops the mount, powers the TV, selects the input, and sets the scene.
Cost Analysis: What a Professional Samsung Frame TV Installation Actually Costs
We believe in complete transparency on pricing. A professional Frame TV installation from Smarthome Techs LLC is not the cheapest option in South Florida — and it's not meant to be. We are a premium service provider. What that means in practice: you get the right mount for your wall, cables that disappear completely, a level and centered TV on the first attempt, and a team that has done this hundreds of times and stands behind the work with a 90-day warranty. Here's exactly what to expect across every component of the project.

Why Professional Installation Is Worth the Investment
The Samsung Frame TV starts at $699.99 and the Frame Pro reaches $3,999.99 depending on size. The entire point of that investment is that it looks like art — not a TV. A $269.99 big box store like Best Buy installation that leaves visible cables, a crooked hang, or the wrong mount for your wall defeats every dollar you spent on the TV itself. Here's what professional installation from Smarthome Techs LLC protects:
Your TV investment: improper mounting — wrong anchors, overloaded drywall, skipped blocking — can result in the TV falling. A fallen 75" Frame TV is a total loss. Professional mounting is structural insurance.
Your wall: in South Florida's CBS construction, wrong anchor selection damages concrete block and creates costly repairs. We carry the correct masonry hardware for every wall type.
Your time: a professional installation takes 2–4 hours. DIY Frame TV installations with VersaBox work frequently take homeowners full weekends — and often require calling a professional to finish anyway.
Your warranty: Samsung's TV warranty does not cover damage from improper installation. A professional installation protects your manufacturer warranty.
Your resale value: in South Florida's competitive real estate market, a professionally installed Control4-integrated Frame TV with clean cable management is a documented home feature. A visibly wired TV is not.
FREE CONSULTATION: We offer a free, no-obligation site consultation for every Frame TV project. We visit your home, assess the wall, confirm the routing path, and give you a detailed written quote — before any commitment. Call FL: (561) 858-8369 or CO: (720) 733-7776 to schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the Samsung Frame and Samsung Frame Pro?
The primary difference is the connection between the TV and the One Connect Box. The standard Frame uses a single slim wired One Connect cable between the TV and the box. The Frame Pro uses a wireless connection — no cable between the TV and the box at all. Both models still require power at the TV location, and both benefit significantly from the Strong VersaBox for clean cable management, particularly above a fireplace.
Q: Does the Samsung Frame Pro really have no cables at the TV?
Almost. The Frame Pro eliminates the One Connect cable between the TV and the One Connect Box — that's the big win. But the TV itself still requires a power connection. In a standard wall installation, a power cable runs from the TV to an outlet. With the Strong VersaBox, that outlet is recessed directly behind the TV so the power cable disappears into the wall immediately and no cable is visible on the wall surface.
Q: Why use the MantelMountPRO for above-fireplace installation instead of a tilt mount?
A tilt mount above a fireplace still leaves the TV at fireplace height — typically 60 to 72 inches from the floor. Even tilted down, this causes neck strain during extended viewing. The MantelMountPRO MM860v2 drops the TV from its stored above-fireplace position down to true eye-level viewing height, which is typically 42 to 48 inches center from the floor. It also retracts when not in use, protecting the TV from fireplace heat when the fire is lit.
Q: Do I need an electrician for the Strong VersaBox installation?
The VersaBox itself is a UL-listed device designed for low-voltage installer use. However, the in-wall power outlet it houses must be wired by a licensed electrician under Florida code. Smarthome Techs LLC coordinates with licensed electrical contractors as part of the installation when new in-wall power is required — we handle the full project.
Q: Can the Frame TV and MantelMountPRO be integrated with Control4?
Yes to both. The Samsung Frame TV integrates with Control4 via IP control for power, input selection, volume, and Art Mode triggering. The MantelMountPRO MM860v2 integrates via its control interface so the mount movement is part of your Control4 scenes. A single 'Watch TV' scene can drop the mount to viewing position, power on the Frame, select the correct input, dim the lights, and set the thermostat — all at once.
Q: Can you install a Samsung Frame TV on a concrete block wall?
Yes — we install Frame TVs on CBS concrete block walls regularly throughout South Florida. We use Tapcon masonry anchors rated for the TV's weight and the specific mount being used. The VersaBox installation in concrete block walls requires routing cables through interior partition walls where a wall cavity exists — we assess this during the site visit and confirm the approach before any work begins.
Q: Which Samsung Frame TV size is right for my room?
Viewing distance is the primary factor. As a general guide: 55" works well at 7–10 feet, 65" at 9–12 feet, 75" at 11–14 feet, and 85" at 13+ feet. Above a fireplace, we also factor in the mantel height and the MantelMount's drop distance to ensure the TV reaches a comfortable viewing height when extended. We make specific recommendations for your room during the free consultation.
The Bottom Line
The Samsung Frame and Frame Pro are exceptional televisions — when they're installed the way they were designed to be. That means flush to the wall, zero visible cables, correct viewing height, and seamlessly integrated into your home. Getting there requires knowing which mount works for your specific wall and placement, understanding the cable differences between the Frame and Frame Pro, and using the Strong VersaBox to finish the job cleanly regardless of which model you have.
At Smarthome Techs LLC, every Samsung Frame installation is a complete project — mount, VersaBox, cable management, Art Mode setup, and Control4 integration if you have it. We've done this across South Florida and we bring every lesson learned to each new installation.
