Samsung's popular Frame TV received a refresh for 2024, with a key focus on environmental friendliness. It retains the mini-LED panel, Quantum Processor 4K for upscaling, and attractive picture frame bezels beloved by art enthusiasts. However, this year's model boasts an innovative new feature. The Frame now automatically switches between a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth TV viewing and a more efficient 60Hz for Art Mode. This eco-conscious update reduces energy consumption without sacrificing image quality when displaying your favorite masterpieces.

Under the hood, the 2024 Frame TV remains a powerhouse. Gamers will appreciate the Auto Game Mode. Meanwhile, movie lovers and art aficionados will enjoy the rich visuals and built-in 40-watt 2.0.2 channel sound system, further enhanced by Samsung's Q Symphony technology for compatible soundbars. Samsung's The Frame TV has a starting price of $1,399.99 for the 43-inch model.
