Kia ora,

Our family haven't had a tv for 20 years...so buying a TV feels like a huge purchase for so many reasons!

We're looking at the Samsung Frame TV, which is currently on sale in New Zealand...but we don't want to buy the 2021 version if the 2022 is just around the corner.

You seem like a very knowledgeable bunch - does anyone have a heads up on when the 2022 will be released in NZ? I see there have been opportunities already to pre-order from Amazon etc overseas, how far is NZ behind usually?

The price difference between 2020 and 2021 didn't seem that much different when the 2021 was released - do you think the changes in the 2021 to 2022 models will result in much of difference here?

Thanks so much!

Ngā mihi :)

I’m also waiting for it as apparently it has good antiglare which is needed for my living room. Hopefully it comes out soon!

We have a 2020 version. The anti glare is definitely needed. I have a window opposite the TV behind me as I watch and unless the curtains are drawn in the day it glares like a champ.

Looks like it is coming out at the start of May.

The reviews of the new 2022 model look pretty good...especially on the anti-glare.

Looking forward to this as well, I'm looking to purchase a 65" The Frame, anyone heard any launch updates?

Spoke to Harvey Norman who had no idea a new Frame was coming and weren't able to put me on a contact list. Noel Leeming said "probably June" and offered to contact me.

Feedback from some friends overseas is that the matte coating is very effective although the panel is pretty average. I'm planning to use mine mostly for digital art so I'm okay with the compromise.

I’m currently in Europe so I might try check one out in store. I spoke to a Harvey Norman sales guy a month ago, he just tried hard to sell me on the current model. He knew there was a new one coming though but didn’t have a date for it.

It's usually a good 6-12 months from announcement before they get here.

Harvey Norman Australia have the 2022 version on sale for cheaper than the current sale of our 2021 version. Now I just need to fit a 65 inch screen in my carry on.

I saw Heathcotes have them in stock so I asked at Harvey Norman about them, the guy said they aren’t getting any in to their store as they still have plenty of the 2021 model but I could order one in with a 3 week wait. He asked how much heathcotes are selling it for and offered $350 cheaper.

I called up heathcotes and asked if they would do it for that price and they said yes. Should come this week I hope.

Good one! That's a great price! We ended up buying the 2021 model and have had 3 months of joy from it. We decided where we were putting it wasn't affected by window reflection anyway. Perhaps we should have waited...oh well, too late now! Enjoy your new tv! :)

No - we thought we'd get it home and make an informed decision about what colour we wanted...and have done nothing further about it 🤣

Just ordered a 65" 2022, anyone know if the 15m one clear connection will work with this?

Yeah that's where we are headed also. Interested in the brick red one but I need to see it in store first.

The tv works well so far, the matte screen definitely helps for our room and makes the art look a bit better I think.
