SAMSUNG FRAME TV

The Samsung Frame TV allows you to solve the problem created when designing a room to have framed art and a TV without creating multiple focal points. With The Frame, you can integrate art with the TV into a single focal point. You can even put The Frame above a fireplace. With the No-Gap Wall Mount and multiple color choices of bezels available, The Frame easily disguises itself as a work of art when not being used as a TV. Choose from a wide range of available high-quality art or load your own art (including family portraits). The Frame TV is the designer’s dream choice for a wall-hanging TV. Available in sizes from 32” to 85” diagonal, there is always a Frame TV to fit any wall space. The Frame TV can be mounted in portrait mode or you can use Samsung’s auto-rotating mount to change the TV from portrait mode to landscape mode automatically!
