Someone tell me about picture frame tvs

The Samsung frame is ugly and LG has an OLED one with "gallery mode" that had some amazing looking van Gogh and other art including the art frame itself changing.
Having said all of that we are interested in having a TV that can display an image that looks like art but are we back to burn in with the newer technologies like QLED and OLED?
Anyone successfully used their TV as art when not watching it instead of a giant black rectangle on the wall all day?
Just very curious about how this would work and if it's just more shitty tv gimmick-of-the-month like curved screens and 3D.
Can you download really good art images for free or customize it with your own?
How does this look like?
Really interested in hearing your experiences.

I airplay a picture of my junk to mine from time to time. Sometimes my wife thinks it’s fine art. Sometimes she gets mad, calls me a child and some other stuff that I don’t listen to.
She just doesn’t understand art.

QLED is just marketing, it won't burn in. OLED will burn in, but i'm not so sure how bad the problem is. I have OLED in the game room and hammer it with white high brightness hud displays and i have zero burn in over 2 years. It will burn in over time, but if you are changing artwork every few minutes and don't have it super high brightness, it will likely take years to burn it in.
That said for 2k you can get some nice pieces of art, that will last a lifetime. But you do you, i will say both my oleds(LG/vizio) are glass screens, so with reflections in my home there's never any question it's a television, maybe a matte lcd would look better.

This makes no sense. So your suggestion is to take the art down and put a tv up every time you want to watch it?
The point is to make the tv less of an eyesore and blend into the surroundings by having something colorful on the wall when it's not in use.

Maybe I should wait and compare to the new 2022 Samsung when it shows up

I wonder if the settings were off. Every time I’ve seen a Frame irl, I’ve been impressed. And I’m both a tech and an art snob

well it was the smaller one and near the floor and they had the 'pick a frame' thing sitting next to it..just looked awful.
the LG by comparison was a 65" and it was running through the gallery and it looked like actual oil paint i was staring at. colors were amazing.
i'm going to go to a less ghetto best buy and see if they have the 2022 in stock and displayed in a better place.
does nobody else on here have a frame?
i figured someone would have one.Posted on 4/25/22 at 12:01 pm to CAD703X
Mine is being installed next week.

There's definitely a market, but probably not as popular as you think since the advent of large flat TVs in the early 00s the idea that a TV needs to be hidden or stowed when not in use has shifted to acceptance that these massive electronics are a part of our everyday living spaces now.

Apparently they just discontinued this, but this company makes frames for tvs. Specifically, they discontinued their overpriced ($5,000) roll-up wall art frame for a tv.
I heavily considered putting a frame and rotating family pictures on a non-Frame tv. I eventually did a backlight which made this idea silly. I thought the rolled-art concept was neat. Just figured I’d share given the amount of DIYiness of the usual suspects around here. Perhaps there’s a cheaper/alternate way to achieve this.

We had a Samsung one at work in the office before we got booted from the building (sold off after covid WFH).
Its pretty cool, but seems unnecessary for average homes. I know I personally wouldn't spend the premium for it. I'm not really an art guy, though.

Yes
You should wait for TCL to make one

We have a Samsung in our “formal” livingroom. We love it. A handful of free art to choose from, but you can also load custom pics of your own. Otherwise you can buy different art, or subscribe to their monthly access. Ours has been mostly custom pics.
We have had it about 3 months, and it has only been in TV mode for roughly 2/3 hours. We wanted a TV in the room, but wanted it to look like art most of the time, so this works for us.

Bump. Went ahead & got the 2022 65" Frame with the matte finish. I think it fits the space well; its kind of an odd place for a regular TV so even if the specs aren't top-of-the-line this isn't our main TV so I think it works well.
yep! i was frustrated by the lack of default artwork in the beginning but you can grab a USB stick and go to town on the web and plug it into the connection box and decide which look good on the TV and move them over.
Definitely some technical frustration; you need SmartThings to do *ANYTHING* with the TV on your phone and I was unable to login to it due to it REQUIRING a certain browser (it wants you to install samsung internet) and i tried 8 different web browsers on 3 platforms (windows, iphone, android) and was so pissed off I decided i would live without whatever features i would have had using the phone.

CAD I like that will you post some other shots of it in TV mode and maybe some other art at your leisure
Posted on 5/24/22 at 11:18 am to Pettifogger
absolutely. here's another piece of art. i'd like to point out you can control the type of 'virtual' matte around the art (like my first pic), color of the matte, style, change/enhance the art in real time, etc.
really nice how each time you hit 'power' it toggles between off/art and on/tv menu.
you *have* to transfer all art onto the TV itself but they include 6GB of memory so that should be plenty to store hundreds or even thousands of images.
anything in particular you want me to capture? i'll pull something up on plex.
