“We are

About
The Frame

 

With
interchangeable bezels[1] and other dynamic
customisation options, The Frame offers more ways than ever to customise the
look and feel of a room. The Frame goes beyond the traditional concept of a TV
to become a functional piece of home décor that elevates the design of any living
space.

 

When it
is not being used to enjoy TV programmes, The Frame’s Art Mode[2] displays digital pieces of
artwork, to transform an everyday living space into a dynamic gallery space.
Just like how a framed picture looks different depending on time of day, The
Frame’s Brightness Sensor[3] adjusts the screen
settings based on the ambient light in the room.

 

This
year, The Frame also features the brilliant picture quality of QLED with deeper
contrasts, darker blacks and 100% real colour[4]. Equipped with Bixby[5], Samsung’s AI-powered
voice control platform, users can use voice commands to search their favourite
shows and streaming platforms, and control compatible smart lights, soundbars,
cameras, door locks and more via the SmartThings[6] Dashboard on the TV.

 

Aside
from the 20 exclusive artwork selections that come pre-loaded on The Frame in 2019,
Samsung Art Store’s wide range of collection includes pieces by prestigious
artists, galleries and museums from all over the world². Users are
transported to the Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Uffizi Gallery in
Florence, and more, through artwork that suits their personal taste and enhance
their home décor. Samsung will continue to expand its partnerships with artists
and museums to give users even more options to design the living space of their
dreams.

 

About
The Serif

The
Serif embodies an iconic design that is perfect for your living space. The TV
is the stunning result of a unique collaboration between the award-winning
design duo Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and Samsung. Blurring the line between
furniture and technology, The Serif challenges consumers to think about how the
TV fits into their homes and lives. It is defined by a single frame and draws
inspiration from the simple elegance of typography, where the TV forms a distinct
“I” shape, designed to be appreciated from
any angle.

 

The
Serif is equipped with enhanced performance capabilities and picture quality.
With just one touch via Bluetooth^®, users can play music directly
from their smartphone to their TV. This year, the Serif also features the
brilliant picture quality of QLED with deeper contrasts, darker blacks and 100%
real colour⁴. The result is a sophisticated form factor — one that
combines a pristine display with the look and feel of top-of-the-line furniture.

 

The
Serif also comes with sleek and minimalist features that allow the TV to blend
seamlessly into the home, through its Magic Screen[7]. Adding new aesthetic and
practical value, Samsung’s Magic Screen enables the TV to set the mood or fade
into the background, depending on user preference. In Magic Screen, the TV can
artfully display useful information like the time, weather forecast and the
day’s headlines. It can also transform into another platform for art by
displaying professional photographs, customisable design patterns and family
photos. Exclusive to the Serif, Magic Screen will also feature a Bouroullec
Palette, offering users 10 exclusive palettes — two patterns (Fabric &
Leaf) in five different colours.

 

Local
Pricing and Availability

The
Frame and The Serif are both available for purchase at Commune and major
consumer electronics stores, at the following recommended retail prices.
