There was a recent thread where someone posted about using Meural frame. I was checking that and then I remembered about the Samsung Frame TV. I went to my local BB store and liked what I see. So I picked up the 65" model. All versions support 16:9 images and screen being matte it looks much better than other shiny TV. Think BenQ monitor vs apple display. I just did some tests by uploading a few of my files and it is like wow. Yes it is quite a bit of money but I was able to pick one up with significant discounts. If I went the print route, it won't be cheap either and I would be restricted in how often I can swap the prints.

Samsung Frame TV 65"!
I was just staring blank at the TV at a shop recently. haha
Congrats and enjoy "Eye candy-ing" your photo collection!
It must be the best display when friends and relatives visit your place too.

Tricky to view the images from that sofa 
That's what my kids is saying, how she can watch the TV.Tricky to view the images from that sofa
I was able to pick up the Samsung frame 55-in the latest version at an Best buy outlet just a little under $500, last year. I use it exclusively as an art frame. When people come into the house this the first thing they see. I have other TVs for viewing
I use it to showcase my Hasselblad X2D pictures. Every time someone walks in they ask where did you get your art from and I tell them that's my work.
I agree with you, I simply love it.

Yeah, they mispriced and horned the deal.
I've been interested in these for a while now. Would be real convenient to change your images seasonally. How do you like it so far? Does it use a lot of power?

May If you have been displaying JPEG files?
I read here Samsung Frame TV can display TIFF files? is that true?

Custom artwork should be in an uncompressed digital file format of TIFF preferably and should be at a minimum resolution of 180 dpi at the final print size but ideally 300 dpi or higher if available. However, we do not recommend simply up-sizing an existing file. If you are unsure, simply upload the highest resolution image you have and let us know what the screen of the TV you plan to conceal is and we can review the file to let you know if it will be sufficient. Additional acceptable file types are JPG, PNG, GIF, PSD, TIFF, and EPS.

Suppose to be very little power. You can configure the sensor to stop displaying after xyz mins if no presence detected in the room. Looks like it has mmWave sensor but not as advanced as I had expected. Samsung sw is crappy but I am old school so no app for me, I just stuck a USB with my images into the One Connect box and uploaded my images that way. It can take max 7680x4320 but I need to see if that makes any difference in quality compared to std 3840x2160.

Those appear to be fully functional smart TV's. I was always hoping someone would produce smaller and cheaper high res displays for photos where you reasonably buy a bunch of them. Still very tempted to get one though.

It would be fun to use something like this to show work of my friends. I'm trying to limit how much of my own stuff is on the wall ... I don't want the house to feel like a vanity gallery. Unfortunately there's no reasonable copy protection for this kind of thing, so it's not really reasonable to ask people to swap high res files.
On another note, I went with an artist friend to an event sponsored by a digital art startup (they were selling digital frames and an art subscription service). The thing that bugged us most was the power cords. My friend said that visible power cords were his biggest pet peeve with digital art installations. Interesting to hear since that's his medium. I'd make it a priority to hide the cord if I had one of these.

I intensely dislike looking at images on electronic displays. I offer that as a simple statement. I don't wish to diminish the enjoyment of those who do.
I have spent a lifetime making physical, paper prints of all kinds including every photographic method and almost every commercial printing method, spanning letterpress, gravure and web and sheetfed offset lithography. And of course, "digital printing" spanning inkjet, dye sublimation and other methods.
I have given up trying to describe the satisfaction that comes from holding a physical print in one's hands. Such an experience, again, in my opinion, far exceeds viewing an electronic screen.
I fully realize that I and others like me are in a very small, unimportant and diminishing minority. It will only be a few short years before there will be no-one in photography who has had any experience making prints of any kind. The great majority of people who are photographically active now have never handled or even seen an analog photographic print. And don't care. Soon, that number will be 100%.

Well, I certainly have a lot of respect for that view and admire the expertise.
I don't print but I sure like looking at them in galleries, museums and photography exhibitions.
But get a nice big pro 4k or 6k monitor and you can enjoy your images in that way too. You can't print all of them.
I wish I could do it, but it's just not practical in my case.

Yesterday, I started practice printing and mounting prints for my LRPS submission next month. And I've just built a super cheap digital frame from an old monitor and I bought a Meural digital frame for xmas. It's interesting to compare.
Obviously, you need ambient light to view a print. I'd say that in daylight the digital frame is not bad. I have mine set quite dim, and I've made a point of darkening the highlights deliberately to reduce the self-luminous look. But in low light or at night time it looks like a TV because it is so much brighter than the ambient light. I find it least convincing under these conditions. A print is not really visible in low light, other than as a presence on the wall. But that is ok, because it is what you naturally expect. A glowing TV in the dark on the other hand is not remotely like a print.
Prints win hands down when it comes to subtlety and a gentle viewing experience. The digital frame is great when you have little space for multiple physical prints and the viewing experience can be made OK.
I reckon the ideal digital frame experience would be e-ink viewed by reflected light just like a print. I heard that the latest generation products are something of a breakthrough but still a ways off yet.
