The Frame by Samsung Featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things List 2017 as a Must-Have Item This Holiday Season
Seamlessly transforming from TV to an elegant art display, The Frame
is also now available in a 43” model
RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samsung Electronics America, Inc., the leader in home entertainment,
today announced The Frame has been chosen by Oprah Winfrey and the
editors of O, The Oprah Magazine as one of Oprah’s Favorite
Things for the 2017 holiday season. Newly available this week in a 43”
model, The Frame is an elegant 4K UHD Smart TV designed in collaboration
with renowned designer Yves Béhar that transforms into a gallery-like
art display, delivering a premium entertainment experience combined with
innovative and aesthetically-pleasing design.
“The Frame is an innovative combination of technology and design that
changes the way you think about and experience TV,” said Dave Das,
Senior Vice President, Consumer Electronics Marketing for Samsung
Electronics America. “By combining art and entertainment in an entirely
new way, The Frame is a truly elegant TV hidden in plain sight –
transforming any living space by delivering beautiful design and content
while blending into your home.”
Ms. Winfrey and the editors of O, The Oprah Magazine recognized
The Frame for this year’s holiday gift guide for its unique solution for
the void in the living room that forms when a traditional television is
turned off. With The Frame, consumers can enjoy 4K UHD picture quality
and can display over one billion shades of color. When not displaying TV
or movies, The Frame becomes a customizable work of art that can
elegantly exhibit artwork and photographs via ‘Art Mode.’
Each holiday season, Ms. Winfrey and the editors of O, The Oprah
Magazine assemble a list of standout products to create the ultimate
holiday gift guide. This year’s list is the biggest in the history of
Oprah’s Favorite Things with 102 products. The list has become one of
the most respected annual gift guides for consumers as they shop for the
whole family.
“Can you believe this is a television? Finally, a way to get rid of the
black screen,” says Oprah in the December issue of O, The Oprah
Magazine. “The Frame transforms your TV into a work of art. You
select the frame, the layout, and the painting or photograph, either
from a large gallery of choices or your own album. Program it and
prepare to be amazed.”
Consumers have access to 100 professional works pre-loaded on The Frame
to exhibit via the exclusive ‘Samsung Collection.’ The works featured in
the collection represent a range of genres, compositions and subjects
including Landscapes, Architecture, Wild Life, Drawing, Digital Art,
Action, Still Life, Patterns, Urban Abstract and From Above.
Additionally, users can access Samsung’s ‘Art Store,’ a growing library
of more than 400 pieces of established and emerging artists, and works
from international galleries and museums including Sotheby’s and
Madrid’s Prado Museum among other well-known galleries like the
Albertina Museum, Artspace, LUMAS, Magnum Photos, Saatchi Art and
Sedition. Easily accessible on The Frame, the Art Store allows consumers
to purchase an individual piece for $19.99 or subscribe to the full
collection for $4.99 per month. Owners can also save and upload their
favorite personal artwork or photographs to The Frame using “My
Collection.”
