Those who don't like the aesthetic of the TV in their living room will likely find the Samsung Lifestyle TV to be a brilliant way to hide it in plain sight. Unveiled at CES 2017, the Samsung Lifestyle TV is designed to look and act like a smart photo or art frame when not in use. When the user wants to watch TV, the unit springs to life to reveal a stunningly crisp picture that disappears once again after the user is done watching.
The Samsung Lifestyle TV looks unlike any television that is on the market with an aesthetic that is more like a framed piece of art than a digital device. The TV has a thick bezel and frame, and is capable of being hung on a wall or leaned on a table.
