Samsung’s Frame TV doubles as a high-end television and a digital art display. When in “Art Mode,” the screen looks like a traditional framed painting, seamlessly blending into your décor. It’s one of the most recognized names in living-room digital art frames—ideal for readers who want a large format and premium picture quality.
