How can I activate Art Mode on Samsung Frame TV with Apple TV 4K?

I just purchased a 2024 Samsung Frame TV and an Apple TV 4K. However the Apple TV 4K and Siri Remote are not compatible with the Art Mode on the Frame TV.

Using the Apple remote there is no way to put the TV into Art Mode.

Press the power button on the Siri Remote and the Frame TV should enter Art Mode. However pressing the power button will cause the Control Center to open instead. Choosing the Power Off icon in the Control Center will turn the TV off. It is impossible to put the Frame TV into Art Mode using the Apple Siri Remote.

This is a huge problem.

I just discovered my Samsung remote with click wheel works fine with the Apple TV 4K (using the HDMI eARC port). No changes are needed to any settings in the Samsung Frame TV or the Apple TV 4K.

Using the Samsung remote I can go in and out of Art Mode (using the power button) and still fully control the Apple TV 4K. So I think I will keep the Apple TV 4K and not return it.

The only thing that doesn't work with the Samsung remote is the microphone button does not work with Siri.

It appears the root cause of the problem is the power button on the Apple Siri Remote. It is not compatible with the Samsung Frame TV Art Mode. It would be great if someone would fix this.

Yes, you can use the Samsung remote for Art Mode and the Apple remote to control the Apple TV 4K.

I would recommend you use the Samsung Frame TV as is for a month and see if it will work for you. It does have the Apple TV app that works well. I have disconnected the Apple TV 4K and may be returning and asking for a refund.

Will it let you use the Samsung remote for Art Mode and use the Apple Remote to control everything else? We are thinking about getting a framed Tv. Thanks
