Samsung's lifestyle TV lineup is kind of a mixed bag, but among the company's other annual TV refreshes, the popularity of the flagship The Frame has earned it another refresh the Frame 2022 has a new matte, anti-glare display, and in standby mode, you'll forget it's a TV and not a framed work of art

The Frame was already a gallery-worthy beauty, with swappable bezel frames and enough anti-glare support to withstand off-angle viewing of downloaded art But the upgraded display promises a marked improvement, reducing the glare one might get in a living room, thanks to a screen designed to maximize surface irregularities that scatter light

Even in brightly lit spaces, The Frame 2022 should better reproduce the paper and canvas textures expected from real art

We are curious to see how The Frame's new display compares to screens on dedicated digital art frames like the $400 Meural Canvas II the Meural's matte finish prevents glare and looks more elegant than a TV projecting a photograph look more elegant than a TV projecting a photo

As with past iterations, The Frame 2022 is not just an art frame, but a full-featured Samsung Smart TV with all the apps and services of a standard Samsung 4K TV When you are finished watching a movie or program, you can access the Samsung Art Store to access thousands of gallery-quality artwork images The Art Store features both well-known and contemporary works by up-and-coming artists, with new collections being added on an ongoing basis

This year, the Art Store introduced a new UX that makes it easier to find your favorite art and discover new pieces based on curated recommendations You'll need to purchase a piece to frame it, but it's more affordable than a trip to the Louvre

Speaking of pricing, Samsung has not announced a price for The Frame 2022 Last year, The Frame's 65-inch configuration started at $1,999 and is expected to be similarly priced this year; The Frame 2022 will also be available in sizes ranging from 32 inches to 85 inches
