      I have a Samsung the Frame, but you can only display photos in the power-saving Art Mode and not a browser. This is also not possible in Ambient Mode.

        @Jalibu not running ON/IN the TV, but thru a separate HDMI port. you should be able to do anything u want

        HDMI signal is an HDMI signal. TV doesn’t know what is being displayed

          haha, of course it works with HDMI ;-)

          But I think this question is about Samsung The Frame specific features and not TVs in general 🙃

            @Jalibu i don’t think that was what he was asking… but maybe he will chime in…

            I have a precursor to the frame, 82in samsung with the external hdmi ports… MM works fine over hdmi

              My idea was to run MM via HDMI and a Raspberry when I am in the room.

              If no one is in front of the frame, it should switch to “frame mode” and display a picture.

              But do not know if it works that way. Or if I just take a normal monitor and have a frame built.

                that is a good question…

                looks like not

                looks like if u turn it off with CEC then its ‘off’, not frame mode

                  Following the comments in your link, Samsung has made it possible by a firmware update.

                  Maybe @Jalibu can double-check the behavior.

                    I did not find this option as a setting on my Frame (latest Firmware). Unfortunately, I also can‘t test this because I don’t have a Anynet device

                      It looks like there are different firmware features. Depending on the hardware.

                      Great thx Samsung. Now I have to find out when this option is available. I’m not really willing to spend 500€ for a picture frame. Then I can rather buy a monitor and have a nice wooden frame built by a carpenter.
