Way too delicate
on November 4, 2018

Expertise:Intermediate
Wish I had read some reviews before I bought my tv. Everything worked great for about 6 months then I noticed that my tv would start to flicker and eventually reset. I didn't know what the problem was for the longest time and just thought that I was sold a lemon. Did some investigating and discovered that other people were having the same problem. Turns out that this "revolutionary" cable is quite brittle. I had bought this for my xbox one x, but I cannot even enjoy that anymore since I never know when the video feed is just going to shut off completely. This cable is way too expensive to simply just replace. Now I'm stuck with a really expensive tv that doesn't work properly.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overpriced fragile garbage.

didn't even last a year, this cable will break due a a slight breeze and replacing it will cost an arm and leg.
This is backwards innovation, I'm sure they are banking on people needing to replace this cable.

Very delicate connector! Can break if slightly pinched or bent beyond a certain angle
on July 30, 2017

The cable is expensive because it's made of tiny optical wires instead of traditional copper wiring, giving it it's invisible look.
Unfortunately the QLED one connect box does not have a wall mount if you are shooting for a wall-mounted solution - if you try to mount the one connect box vertically, make sure that the cable does not bend from the connector somehow (eg, because the box is mounted vertically like from a stand, the cable could potentially be hanging down from a higher place to the TV if you mounted it like that, meaning the cable would come to a slight bend). Sharp bends beyond its wound up configuration will destroy the cable.
I'm unsure at this moment in time how to protect the cable, but Samsung should include some kind of cable guard coming from the ends of each connector so that it can properly curve the cabling in a vertical configuration.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality, easily breaks, expensive, no cable protection
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent and barely noticeable Connection
on September 25, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The invisible connection cable is a small but very important part of Samsung's Frame TV setup. In order to make the TV flush with the wall, the connections are offloaded to a main box which connects to the TV using the invisible connection cable. Whether you are running your cable into the wall or running it along the baseboards, this cable allows you to minimize the overall visibility of the connections to the Frame TV.
The only problem I encountered when running the cable along my baseboards is that the cable can be a bit delicate. Samsung does include some padding and a spindle to mitigate this issue. I highly recommend using these turn pads and the spindle.

One Connect...and one only
on November 27, 2018

This OneConnect concept stinks (a junction box that functions like an HDMI switchboard with Arc-like smarts but regrettably functions as the TV's dedicated driver and peripheral brain connected by a proprietary fiberoptic umbilical cord with no room for cleverly extending or piggybacking to my existing prewired walls with the clever use of baluns, etc. Not to be snob but my DIY days of creatively running exposed wires along baseboards, under carpets etc, are simply over. I've moved on to a world where wires aren't exposed , even wires that they consider "invisible" wires, puh=leez. With an AV closet far from the final destination TV nooks all has been slickly prewired and, I thought , future-proofed for; many generations of TV's to come. designed to be hidden and well protected in the walls.where wires should be, now thats "invisible". With this setup, the TV can only be connected to the brain via this one cable and I aint buying their extra long $200 proprietary accessory extension cable to run all the way to the av closet. Like a college kid running a spool of 12 g speaker wire under the bed, over the doorway, behind the sofa, round the toilet, with the final unused length coiled in the plant for his first set of stereo speaker incense-god monolithic speakers, I'm getting that vibe again as I realize that I'm gonna have to just leave the brain next to the TV and have another switchboard in the av closet, and keep the ROKU after all since the smart part of the TV has to stay at the end of the chain next to the TV doing me no good for all my peripherals. . ut, I for one am not thrilled by this setup, nor did I understand the limitation when purchased
One Connect....Thats right...one and only One way to connect to this TV.
Pros: Built-in speakers
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The end of the drywall saw?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great evolution! As someone who has hung a TON of TV's, it was really interesting to see this new development. It gives you the opportunity run an "AV" wire along a fireplace or up a wall without wire mold or a ton of extra wires. Just have to make wireless power and we're home free!

Simple - Clean - Truly Invisible
on September 21, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These cables are the coolest thing Samsung has created to help keep their TV's looking sharp when installed in our homes. This cable is super long, almost 50ft. The cable itself is so small and clear, it can be run anywhere to keep it hidden or out of sight. Overall, this cable is sweet! I love what Samsung has done here and I would recommend this product to anyone in the market for cleaning up all those devices plugged into the TV itself.
