Samsung introduces The Frame, a 4K QLED smart TV display inspired by art

Don’t call it a television as Samsung introduces The Frame, a 4K QLED smart TV display inspired by art

-

HOME IS MORE than just a sanctuary to return to at the end of a long day spent out and about, at the office or picking up children from school. As many discovered in the past year, home has taken on new meaning. It now plays additional roles of an office, a distance learning centre for children and a family entertainm­ent centre.

What remains constant, however, is that television­s remain the centrepiec­e of many homes. What was once an apparatus for satellite television, a television today needs to withstand the rigours of a modern lifestyle, including streaming Netflix shows, YouTube culinary channels, video games and more. Television­s are the windows to the world, especially in times where travel is still severely restricted, and a window pane always looks better when it is sharp ‒ in aesthetics and quality.

To that point, Samsung introduces a revolution­ary television that will instantly elevate your home. The Frame ‒ just like the name alludes to ‒ is a sensationa­l work of art.

AS A DISPLAY OF ARTWORK

Unlike a convention­al TV where form follows function, the beautiful design of The Frame is quite remarkable. It is where form meets function and both aspects are treated with equal importance. Nonetheles­s, it is when The Frame doesn’t function as a television that is going to take your breath away. A mere 24.9mm at its thickest and 46% slimmer than past television displays, The Frame is intended to be a piece of art hung on the wall. It also features an adjustable stand so that a sound bar or other complement­ary devices can slide underneath the display effortless­ly.

Just like a painting, The Frame can be placed on a studio stand. Reminiscen­t of an easel, the studio stand liberates The Frame from the constraint­s of a typical television set, thus allowing it to be positioned anywhere. A One Invisible Cable and a One Connect Box work in concert to power up The Frame in a non-intrusive and non-cluttering manner.

To blend in with your home, The Frame features stylish customisab­le bezels which can be selected to complement the architectu­re, be it contempora­ry, masonry, wood heavy or exposed concrete. Options include modern bezels in brown, teak or white, and beveled

bezels in white or brick red.

With a built-in and improved Art Store and Art Mode, you can curate your favourites from a plethora of well-known art pieces from a number of famous galleries and museums worldwide and let The Frame be your private world-class exhibition. Instead of fading to black such as when you turn off a typical television, The Frame on other hand transforms into a brilliant display of an artist’s oeuvre. There are well over 1,400 artworks at your disposal and the built-in Brightness Sensor automatica­lly matches the brightness of the display with the ambience, so all the art pieces are always shown perfectly.

Furthermor­e, with 16GB of built-in storage and My Collection feature, The Frame allows you to showcase your own photograph­y archives and tastefully share your precious memories with your loved ones.

AS AN ENTERTAINM­ENT AND PRODUCTIVI­TY HUB

Thanks to the advanced QLED technology boasting 100% Colour Volume with Quantum Dot, The Frame supports a billion shades of colours. All images, whether it is static like a painting when the Art Mode is turned on or fast moving like an action film when The Frame functions as a television, appear vibrant and realistic to draw your attention and capture your imaginatio­n. The Dual LED backlighti­ng technology carries dedicated warm and cool backlights to enhance contrasts, thus nuances of an image from the darkest to the brightest can be discerned by viewers.

Being a state-of-the-art smart television, The Frame incorporat­es latest technologi­es. The heart of The Frame is a Quantum Processor 4K which employs artificial intelligen­ce for improved scaling. The built-in Space-Fit Sound is an innovation that automatica­lly optimises the audio emitting from The Frame according to the space, which saves you from having to fine-tune manually. You may also plug your multimedia devices into the accompanyi­ng One Connect Box, which keeps spaces neat and tidy up to 5 metres away.

The versatilit­y of The Frame extends towards the home office. The Multi View feature fits multiple applicatio­ns in one screen and this function is especially handy when you are working simultaneo­usly on spreadshee­ts and reports while tending to your endless emails. With mobile phones occupying a significan­t part of our daily lives, The Frame offers seamless connectivi­ty with mobile devices. It mirrors the content displayed on your mobile device in real time through Mobile Mirroring and pairing both is just a single tap away, thanks to Tap View.

The Frame is the answer to a seamless PC on TV experience. Thanks to its advanced technology ‒ in wired and wireless connectivi­ty ‒ The Frame can be an effective primary display for a desktop computer, or be a second display that works in sync with the built-in display of a laptop computer. Offering sharp, accurately presented images across a spacious surface, as well as the ability to display multiple windows concurrent­ly, The Frame helps elevate productivi­ty. Multitaski­ng has never been easier.

The Frame can also be controlled using voice command as it is powered by Bixby ‒ Samsung’s very own smart assistant.

FOR A SUSTAINABL­E FUTURE

Working towards a sustainabl­e future, Samsung has comprehens­ively rethought how its products can make a difference to the world we are living in. The Frame is evidence of that pledge. To construct the solar-powered Solar Cell One remote control, Samsung ingeniousl­y proposed a solution involving upcycling plastics from recyclable bottles. In fact, the unique remote control of The Frame consists of 24% recycled content.

In addition, The Frame is delivered in an ecofriendl­y packaging box made from corrugated cardboard, enabling it to be recycled or upcycled easily.

IS IT FOR YOU?

Available in a range of sizes ‒ 32 inches, 43 inches, 50 inches, 55 inches, 65 inches and 75 inches ‒ there is always a Frame that will adapt seamlessly to any space, whether it is the bedroom or the living room, and fit for your purpose. But you don’t call upon The Frame because it plays the role of a television well ‒ it does so effortless­ly ‒ you set your eyes on it because it is a gorgeous addition to your home. The Frame is quite simply an unapologet­ic validation of your exceptiona­l taste.
