You probably expect your TV to turn off and the picture will disappear. Newer TVs can show more. When you aren’t actually watching television, these big screens can show art, photography, and even a weather report.
Samsung’s The Frame is the most well-known of these TVs, and has been around for quite some time. Amazon’s Fire TV Omni QLED is the newest, and it debuted in fall 2022. There are some similarities between them, such as access to thousands museum-quality art pieces, but there are also some differences. Let’s get started.
The Omni QLED models of the Fire TV Omni include QLED screens and other image quality enhancements. They have sensors that detect when you are in the room and activate artwork, widgets, or other content. You’re not the only one who finds this creepy.
The original «TV as Art», Samsung’s The Frame can look like a painting, rather than a television. There are many frame options. The new 2022 version features a screen that reduces reflections to make it more like a canvas.
The Frame is more expensive than the Omni QLED in both of their sizes. Samsung’s TV comes in many sizes, including 32-inch and 85-inch.
Samsung offers custom frames for The Frame starting at $100
You can display digital photos and other files on both TVs. There are also ambient modes that display clocks and mood screens. A dedicated art mode, which displays paintings and other fine art from some major museums, is the main feature of each TV.
While most people don’t buy a TV like The Frame because of its image quality, it is worth noting some similarities and differences. Both TVs feature smart TV, which is Samsung’s system on The Frame and Fire TV for the Omni. They also use QLED technology to improve brightness and color. While we have not reviewed the TVs, it is impossible to compare their image quality. Here are some key differences.
You can mount the Frame from your wall with the included slim-fit wall mounting. You can mount the Omni QLED to the wall, but this mount will need to be purchased separately.
The Frame by Samsung is now available, and Amazon’s Fire TV Omni will ship in October.
