Samsung's The Frame TV
Samsung

One of the most interesting smart TVs on the market right now is Samsung's the Frame. It's less than an inch thick and designed to be hung on a wall. And when you add one of Samsung's frame-like bezels around the TV (sold separately), the Frame takes on the appearance of a framed work of art. The optional picture frame-like bezels come in a variety of styles and colors to match any room. 

When you're not watching programming on the Frame, it has an Art mode that automatically activates. The screen then displays famous works of art that you preselect. This smart TV has a matte finish, so there's practically zero glare. It also displays content in high resolution, so the digital artwork when in Art mode looks like real paintings. So this TV does not look like a generic flat-screen model. It becomes part of your home's decor. 

The Frame is powered by Samsung's own proprietary operating system, called Tizen. When the TV is connected to your home's Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable, it provides easy access to all of your favorite streaming networks and channels. And with its abundance of available ports, connecting a cable box, soundbar (or surround sound system), video game console, or other equipment is very easy. While the 2024 version of the Frame has a few extra features, the discounted price of this 2022 model (see our full review) makes it a really great value.
