This Frame Pro installation in Avalon Beach, on the Northern Beaches, shows why a Samsung The Frame Pro is a bit different from a standard TV. The whole idea is for the TV to sit neatly against the wall and look good in the room, even when it’s switched off.
The customer had a 55-inch Frame Pro for their bedroom. Before I arrived, they’d had an electrician fit a recessed power point in the wall behind the TV. That made a big difference to the finish.

The customer had already chosen where they wanted the TV and how high it should go. I mounted the Frame Pro in that spot and made sure it sat level and flush against the wall. If you’re still deciding on height, I’ve written about how I choose the TV height with customers.
Why the Recessed Power Point Matters
The Frame Pro sits very close to the wall, so there’s almost no room behind it. A standard power point with a plug in it can stick out far enough to stop the TV sitting flat. A recessed power point sits back inside the wall, so the plug doesn’t push the TV forward. Fitting one is a job for a licensed electrician, so book that in before the TV goes up.
Wireless One Connect: Frame Pro Setup in Avalon Beach
The best feature of the Frame Pro is its Wireless One Connect box. All your devices plug into the box instead of the TV, and the box sends the picture and sound to the screen wirelessly. Samsung says it works up to 10 metres away in the same room.
Older Frames used a thin cable to join the box to the TV, like on a Frame job in Beacon Hill. Here, there’s no cable at all. The customer keeps the box beside the bed on the other side of the room, and the only cable going to the TV is its power lead.
Once the TV was up, I connected everything and logged into all the customer’s streaming apps. That way they didn’t have to work through the setup themselves.
Planning a Frame Pro Installation?
- Sort out the power point first. A recessed one keeps the TV flat to the wall.
- Keep the One Connect box in the same room as the TV. Samsung notes that walls in between can affect the connection.
- Have your streaming logins ready. There’s a full list in what to have ready before your installer arrives.
