Unless you’re dead set on picking up a larger panel, Samsung’s forthcoming 2026 Frame lineup represents a fairly minor upgrade. That makes last year’s model an easy rec for those on the hunt for an art-inspired 4K TV, especially given the 43- and 50-inch models are down to the lowest prices we’ve seen at Woot, selling for $597.99 ($302 off) and $697.99 ($402 off), respectively, through January 31st.
Samsung’s last-gen 4K TV can easily pass for a piece of artwork, thanks to its slim QLED display that can showcase thousands of famous paintings when idle. Its anti-glare matte panel adds a realistic, canvas-like quality that helps it blend into your home decor, and you can even display your own photos and images. It’s great for watching TV shows and movies, too, as it supports HDR10 Plus for richer image quality and Dolby Atmos for more spacious, immersive sound. You also get access to all your major streaming apps — Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, etc. —along with support for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
There are some caveats to bear in mind, such as the fact that the 43-inch model only offers a 60Hz refresh rate, whereas larger models can reach 144Hz. And though Samsung offers a limited selection of free artwork, you’ll need a Samsung Art Store subscription ($4.99 a month / $49.99 a year) to access the full catalog. Nonetheless, both the 43-inch and 50-inch models are a good investment if you want Samsung’s artsy TV experience but in a smaller, more affordable package.
