It’s Best Buy’s annual 12 days of Christmas gifts, that wonderful time of year we feature some of our favourite and most popular tech gadgets that would also make great holiday gifts.

On Day 6 we’ve chosen one of the most luxurious gifts of the year, Samsung’s Frame TV.

What’s The Frame TV?

Samsung’s Frame TV is an ultra thin 4K TV designed to hang on your wall like a painting. A piece of art is exactly what it’ll look like when you’re not watching it, thanks to the TV’s built-in Art Mode.

Art Mode displays gallery quality paintings, drawings, photos and digital art in a realistic way; you won’t get that glare and brightness associated with screensavers, since this TV has built in light sensors too. These sensors adjust the brightness and contrast of the screen so the art always looks real.

When you’re ready to watch TV, just touch one button and you have access to the sharpest, most vibrantly coloured 4K video available.

Samsung Frame TV hangs like a painting

The TV comes with the No Gap Wall Mount, which is a rather simple metal bracket and cleat device that allows you to hang the TV securely and completely flat on the wall.

The Samsung Frame TV is the perfect device for the family that’s eschewed TV in the living room because it’s distracting.. or ugly. Where regular TVs are giant black holes while turned off, the Frame is a beautiful artscape that adds to your room’s decor, it doesn’t take away from it. It blends in seamlessly and your guests will likely not even realize it’s a TV until you flick on that gorgeous 4K video.

Samsung Frame TV – the ultimate family gift

A TV is also a great family gift because it’s something everyone can enjoy; the kids can play games, mom can watch Discovery Channel and Dad can surf YouTube. Because you don’t need to connect any of your peripherals directly to the TV, you keep a seamless look. How? The Frame TV uses something called the Samsung One Connect box. It connects to the TV via an ultrathin and invisible fiberoptic cord. The box is where you plug in your cable box, gaming devices, streaming sticks and more, and that means you can keep it all out of sight of the TV so you won’t see any cords and wires cluttering up your view.

Read more about the Frame TV on the blog. I had a chance to have one professionally installed by Geek Squad and to live with it in my room for a month. I really enjoyed the experience and if I was going to buy a new TV (which I might soon) this is the one I’d chose, hands down. Read my full review here.

It’s a stunning gadget that marries the best of technology and art.

Find the Frame TV in 43″, 55″ and 65″ sizes at Best Buy.
