Custom Samsung Frame TV & Art-Mode Integration in Ann Arbor, MI

Yes, and it's one of the most popular spots for it, because the mantel already frames the screen like a gallery wall. A few things need checking first: how much heat reaches the wall above the firebox, what the wall is made of (drywall over a chimney chase, brick and stone all mount differently), and how high the screen will sit, since the slim mount holds the TV flat instead of tilting it down.

We've hung Frame TVs over fireplaces with custom bezels, and on one install ran the cables through the wall and tucked a compact amplifier and in-wall speakers out of sight, so the finished wall showed nothing but the art. When the drywall had to be opened, it was cut with a vacuum running alongside so the room stayed clean.

The bezel is what turns The Frame from a thin TV into something that looks like a framed picture. Bezels attach magnetically, so they can be swapped later, and they come in different colors and wood tones, from Samsung and from other makers. Choosing one that matches your trim, mantel, cabinetry or picture frames ties the TV into the room.

On a white fireplace surround, for example, a warm wood or bronze-toned bezel gives the screen the look of a real frame hanging above the mantel. We can help you choose a style that suits the room and fit it as part of the installation.
