Samsung’s 2019 Frame TV Turns TV Into High Art

In its more than 100 year history, TV has always prioritized function over design. When Philo Farnsworth first demonstrated the electronic television in 1929, he stunned the world with a device that could reproduce live moving images. The technology was incredible -- but the device looked like something out of a science fiction movie.

Rather than the sleek, thin, 4K monitors that adorn walls as part of modern media room installations today, the Farnsworth unit consisted of a big, boxy receiver and a four-inch display.

In fact, for the next few decades, TV sets would become popular fixtures in homes around the nation, but they stubbornly refused to blend in with the surrounding decor. While the units became smaller, screens became bigger, and images continued to improve thanks to sophisticated processing and LED backlighting, they still stood out.

In recent years, TV giant Samsung has devoted a significant amount of attention to combining the needs of interior designers with that of consumers who want the best picture quality possible. In 2019, their latest Frame TV may just transform the way you incorporate electronics into your Bellevue, WA media room designs.

In this blog, we’ll take a look at what Samsung has in store for CES 2019, and how your clients can benefit from a TV that looks great when in use and not.

Samsung to Unveil 2019 Frame TV

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, which happens early this month, Samsung will unveil their latest Frame TV. The display goes beyond typical televisions, operating both as a stunning display and as a functioning piece of artwork when users aren’t watching it.

The latest model is a genuine smart TV, featuring Samsung’s voice-control AI Bixby and QLED backlighting. They’ve also partnered with prestigious galleries and museums from all over the world to offer a wide selection of artwork users can enjoy while not watching the TV.

As Jongsuk Choo, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics said in a press release about the Frame TV: “The traditional TV was only focused on technical features, such as picture quality and performance, but now TVs are also a lifestyle platform that blends in consumers’ daily life.” For designers, it’s a focus that can make a significant impact on the way you incorporate technology into a room.

How QLED Impacts Picture Quality

Not too long ago TV manufacturers started to experiment with new forms of backlighting. While OLED has made significant strides in the market by ditching the middleman and letting LED’s natural color-changing abilities shine, Samsung has developed their own form of superior backlighting with QLED.

The proprietary technology offers deeper blacks than standard LED TVs, higher contrast, and 100 percent color volume. That means realistic color reproduction both for TV content and display artwork.

Additionally, a Luminescence sensor will automatically adjust the brightness settings of the TV for optimal display of artwork in any room.
