Not all TVs are created equal - and here's 5 very good reasons why Samsung's The Frame is worth splashing out on.
Autumn has arrived – the months we all tend to dread after a summer spent enjoying outdoors. While the orange leaves may signal the start to some of the coldest months of the year, it does also mark the beginning of cosy nights on the sofa, binge-watching our favourite TV shows with a scented candle on and the heating cranked high. For sun bums, time indoors isn’t everyone’s cup of tea – but really, you’re just not doing it right. All it takes is a simple investment to turn your dreaded end of summer sadness into something a little more bright, fun and full of colour – and that’s where Samsung's The Frame TV comes in.
As an out-and-proud homebody, I’ve been staying indoors more and more as the weeks have gone on, and when I say that my Samsung The Frame TV has been a saviour – I mean it. Since picking up a set from Currys, revisiting my old favourite boxsets, TV shows and feature length movies has never been more full of excitement and awe – and there's a few very good reasons why The Frame has ramped up my viewing pleasure like no other TV before it and why, as a result, it's worth every penny of its price tag.
#1: It looks like a piece of art
When I do manage to break away from the latest series of Married At First Sight UK, gone are the days where a TV stands as a dark and imposing rectangle, dormant in the corner. The Frame’s biggest draw is its picturesque appearance – it’s less TV, and more a work of art. Because of the innovative Art Mode, there's no blank screen staring back at me. I now have pieces of fine art gracing my company when the TV is switched off. This television is a bespoke canvas that reflects my own personal taste and camouflages into my unique home decor - and best of all, there's over 2,000 art works* to choose from (particularly good for someone like me who loves to update my homeware on the regular).
#2: You can customise the frame
With the option to buy interchangeable bezel frame colours**, you can customise your Smart TV to blend in or stand out among your interiors. It’s as easy to hang as a real picture frame too, thanks to the Slim Fit TV-Wall Mount.
#3: The screen quality is vivid as it gets
Samsung makes watching TV and movies feel as though you’re watching something for the very first time (even if it’s the tenth), because you pick up on so many different details, sounds and colours. There's also the fact that The Frame is powered by Quantum Dot for a naturally bright and colourful picture, which allows everything you watch come to life with picture-perfect detail and realism - with deeper and more vivid colours that have been validated by Pantone! I’ve been spending more time than ever before watching documentaries too, especially David Attenborough ones like Blue Planet II because of the way everything seems so much more bright and enhanced – it feels like I’m there, witnessing it in realtime in real life.
#4: The anti-glare finish is incredible
The Frame TV uses ground-breaking Matte Display which absorbs reflections thrown at it, so even in bright light autumn sunsets you’ll get crystal clear vision. Not only does the Matte Display work well when using The Frame in TV mode, but it also helps your TV look just like a picture frame, which is perfect for when using Art Mode too.
#5: It has some seriously smart sound
Built-in Amazon Alexa, Google assistant and mobile screen-sharing all enhances the all-round experience of being at home, but it's the Dolby Atmos technology*** - delivering a sound experience that you can literally feel all around you - that's the most impressive feature of all. It's recommended that you add a Samsung Dolby Atmos soundbar to truly feel like you are in the cinema, though - so why not treat yourself to the full shebang if you treat your evening viewing seriously?
Incredible TVs come at a price - but the good news is that there is a The Frame TV for every budget. Starting from £499 for a 32" screen going right up to £2999 for the 75", you can choose the right TV to suit your lifestyle. But trust me when I say whatever you choose to spend, you won't regret a penny of it.
