To help you get your head around these solutions and whether they’re the right choice for you, we’ll outline the mechanics behind the mounts and the benefits they bring.
What is an articulated wall mount TV?
Broadly speaking, an articulated wall mount allows you to pull your TV away from the wall or from side to side, offering a broad range of motion.
In the case of the TV articulated wall mounts designed specifically for Samsung Frame TVs, the mounts also come with a wall box that allows space for a One Connect Box (which contains all the apps and the TV tuner).
The mount consists of two parts: The part that attaches to the wall and the PS brackets that attach to the TV (as shown in the image below).

When you push the brackets into the wall, the TV sits perfectly on the wall, leaving no gap between the television and the wall. Yet it’s also possible to pull the TV away from the wall, allowing for flexibility.

Advantages of articulated wall mount TVs
Now you know what an articulated wall mount TV is — but you might not be able to imagine where one would fit into your own home or understand how they differ from other mount types. Here are some key benefits of the Samsung mounting solution.
- View television discreetly
The mounting hardware mechanisms of articulated wall mounts hide the One Connect Box that comes with Samsung Frame TVs.
Thanks to the articulating wall mount, there’s enough space between the frame and the display to store the One Connect Box. Meanwhile, instead of DMI cables, a single cable runs between the OneConnect Box and the TV, providing low-voltage power.
This means you can watch TV without being distracted by the surrounding clutter.
- They second as gallery screens
Samsung Frame TVs make for excellent gallery screens. You can choose decorative frames to make the screen look (literally) picture-perfect, choose between more than 40 bezel styles, and benefit from a matte display that absorbs reflections.
Then, within seconds, your TV will be transformed to a television screen that’s bright and easy to see, ready to watch a sports game or your favorite TV series.
While you can technically use any high-resolution television as a gallery screen, articulated wall mounts’ discretion and flexibility means they’re particularly well-suited to this application.

And it’s not just the One Connect Box you can hide. When using brackets of 32” and above, the wall boxes are so large that you can even fit larger pieces of equipment such as a Skybox inside, meaning there’s no need for furniture at all.
