    Hi folks. 

    My budget for a new TV had been the 500-700 mark but I am intrigued by The Frame.

    It would be the 43" version, positioned within a built-in unit similar to Ikea's Billy Bookcase style.

    Have you guys much experience with these? Where does that €500 premium actually go?

    (Also, for TV-watching can the mount swivel, even slightly?)

    Thanks,
    dingbat

    i Dingbat,

    Thanks for the post!

    The new Frame TVs do look fantastic and are a big upgrade over the older Frames now that they use the QLED panels!

    You really are paying the premium for the design though with the customisable bezels, art mode and the near invisible cable/mount solution. They do look great on the wall (we have on in store and it blends in seamlessly) however with the supplied mount you are unable to tilt or swivel as it leaves no gap behind the TV!

    Let me know what you think!

    Kind regards

    David
