Photo Frame-Like Televisions

TCL's 'NXTFrame' TVs Double as Chic Decor Pieces When Not in Use

The TCL NXTFrame TV lineup offers a range of features designed to enhance both visual and aesthetic appeal. These televisions are available in four sizes: 55 inches, 65 inches, 75 inches, and 85 inches. They utilize QLED technology, which provides enhanced color accuracy and brightness. The NXTFrame TVs support various high dynamic range (HDR) formats, including Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+, ensuring a high-quality viewing experience. Additionally, the lineup includes features such as a 144Hz variable refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium, and a Google TV operating system.

A notable aspect of the NXTFrame TVs is their design, which aims to integrate seamlessly into home decor. Each model comes with a magnetic wooden frame and a flush-mounting design, giving the appearance of a framed piece of art. The matte display further enhances this effect by reducing glare and reflections. The NXTFrame Pro models, set to be released in September, will include a Bang & Olufsen sound system, adding a premium audio experience to the visual appeal. These features position the NXTFrame lineup as a competitor to other art-inspired televisions on the market.
