Samsung’s Frame TV is a clear winner. Until it came along in 2017, the custom installation industry trafficked myriad solutions for hiding TVs. There were roll-down screens, movable pieces of art, lifts, and screensaver slideshows all trying to pass as display camouflage.
Then came the day when we all saw the Frame TV for the first time. It really looks like a piece of art while not in use. It does such a good job aesthetically that attaching a soundbar beneath it or putting in wall speakers on either side kills the elegance of the artwork. While the Frame TV nailed the aesthetic and visual elements, no one ever addressed the sound question. Reliance on tinny internal speakers wasn’t even adequate; it was mediocre at best. While this certainly says a lot about the priorities of design minded consumers, it didn’t help out those members of the household who might want a little extra cheese on their proverbial Whopper.
