SAVE $2,300: For August 8 only, the 2022 85-inch Samsung The Frame QLED TV is on sale for $1,499.99 as the Best Buy Drop of the day. That’s more than 50% in savings and can only be accessed through the Best Buy mobile app.
High profile items are the name of the game with Best Buy Drops, and there’s no higher profile TV than Samsung’s The Frame. The gigantic 85-inch version of The Frame is the Best Buy Drop of the day for August 8, where you can snag it for $1,499.99 — a jaw-dropping $2,300 price cut that’s way more intense than what we expected.
The fine print is that you’ll only get access to that price if you click on it through the Drops tab in the Best Buy mobile app, which is the only version of Best Buy where Drops exists. Once you find the TV in Drops, be sure to peek at the status bar showing how many items are left — Drops items are released in limited quantities, so when they’re gone, they’re gone.

To be clear, the model featured as the Drop is the 2022 version of The Frame. Several sizes of the 2024 version are also on sale at Best Buy, but obviously, aren’t nearly as heavily discounted. For reference, you could almost buy three 2022 85-inch Frames at this price before hitting the $4,299.99 price tag of the 2024 85-inch Frame.
Of the good TV deals popping up in early August, The Frame is definitely one of our favorites. If you clicked on this story, you probably already know why The Frame has such name recognition. If not, let’s quickly unpack the overarching question asked by Google users when “the frame” is searched: What does Samsung’s The Frame actually do?
Mashable Deals
When it’s on and being watched, The Frame is just a solid QLED TV: It has stellar peak brightness and punchy quantum dot-fueled colors that make it great for watching sports in bright rooms. (This Drop happens to be right before football season gets into full swing. Coincidence? Doubt it.) The matte screen does quite well with reflection handling as well, though the whole “matte” thing comes way more into play when the TV’s not being watched.
When it’s off and just chilling on your wall, The Frame uses ambient light sensors to dim itself and sort of melt into the wall. The non-shiny screen can display the fine art of your choice, photos of loved ones you’ve uploaded, or photos you’ve uploaded of the wall around the TV to mimic the design and fully blend in. The concept is seriously cool for folks who aren’t psyched on the idea of this giant hunk of technology cramping the style of their carefully-curated accent wall.
