Modern art TVs make it easy to turn a blank screen into wall décor. On Samsung The Frame and similar models, you can display built-in artworks, your own photos, or compatible digital art through Art Mode or a similar ambient display feature.samsung+2

How it works

The basic idea is simple: instead of showing a black screen when the TV is idle, the set switches to an art display. On The Frame, Samsung’s official Art Mode lets you browse art categories, preview pieces, and show them full screen; you can also add your own photos through SmartThings or a USB drive.samsung+1

Ways to add art

You usually have three options. First, use the built-in art library or paid art store if the TV supports it. Second, upload personal photos from a phone in the SmartThings app and save them to the TV. Third, import images from USB and store them in your collection for later display.samsung+1

If you want a cleaner gallery look, choose images with the right aspect ratio and, where available, use a mat or border setting. Samsung’s guidance also shows that you can preview artwork before committing it to the screen, which helps you check framing and brightness first.samsung+1

Best setup tips

Use high-resolution images so they don’t look blurry on a large screen. Pick photos or artwork with soft contrast and simple compositions, because they tend to look more like framed prints than ordinary TV images. Also adjust brightness, color tone, and sleep or motion settings so the display feels natural in your room rather than overly bright at night.pcmagyoutube

For a more convincing art-wall effect, match the art to your room’s colors and lighting. Lighter walls often suit minimalist pieces, while darker rooms can handle richer, more dramatic artwork. If your TV supports light detection, leave it enabled so the screen can adapt to ambient brightness automatically.samsung+1

Similar TVs

Other “art TVs” and ambient-mode televisions work in much the same way, even if the menus differ. Look for features such as low-reflection screens, customizable frames, gallery mode, photo slideshow support, motion sensing, and brightness control. Those are the features that matter most if your goal is to make the TV look like actual wall art.
