A Samsung Frame TV can show your pictures in Art Mode with nothing plugged into it. DisplayValet sends the pictures to each Frame over your network and switches them on a schedule you set, so several Frames can run one coordinated slideshow from a single web page.
What you need
- One or more Samsung Frame TVs on your network (tested on the 2023 32-inch Frame, model QN32LS03C).
- A Windows 10, Windows 11 or Windows Server computer that stays on, on the same network. DisplayValet runs there.
- Your pictures (JPG, PNG or iPhone HEIC). DisplayValet sizes them for each TV, portrait or landscape.
How it works
- Install DisplayValet on the always-on computer and open it in any browser.
- Turn the Frames on and press Find displays. Each Frame appears by its own name; add the ones you want.
- The first time, each Frame asks to allow DisplayValet: press Allow with the TV's remote. It only asks once.
- Put the Frames on a screen (one Frame, or several side by side), add pictures to a playlist, and press Start.
What it does that the Frame's own app doesn't
- Runs several Frames together: a different picture on each, or one scene spread across them, switching at the same moment.
- Turns each Frame on and off on a weekly schedule, and turns it back on if someone switches it off during business hours.
- Puts a Frame back in Art Mode if a remote knocks it out.
- Lets several people manage the pictures from their own computers, with their own sign-ins.
Good to know
- Art Mode shows still pictures, not video. For video on the same wall, use an LG TV or a Fire TV device next to the Frames; DisplayValet runs them together.
- For on/off from DisplayValet, turn on the TV's IP Remote setting (Settings → General → External Device Manager on the tested model).
- Other Samsung TVs (not Frames) can be switched on and off; to show pictures on them, plug in a Fire TV device.
