WIREDIntuitive new OS. Excellent contrast and picture quality. Massive number of art images. New anti-glare coating actually works. High refresh rate for gaming.TIREDExpensive. Paywalled art work requires monthly subscription.The market for art televisions is hot right now. Amazon burst onto the scene with the Ember Artline, a svelte and stylish 65-inch model for only $1,100. Hisense and TCL also make low-cost models. But if you want the best, Samsung’s The Frame Pro is still king. Samsung offers several enhancements for the 2026 model, including a new user interface, extra AI features, and refined screen tech to make art look even more realistic.
I was already impressed by the 2025 model, which leveraged its exceptional contrast and solid picture quality to reveal beautiful textures in artwork leading to better performance than the TCL NXTVISION. For 2026, there aren’t any radical design changes, but the subtle improvements make this high-end art TV even more compelling. That is if you can stomach the $500 jump from last year’s model to a price of $2,000.
