The market for art televisions is hot right now. Amazon burst onto the scene with the Ember Artline, a svelte and stylish 65-inch model for only $1,100. Hisense and TCL also make low-cost models. But if you want the best, Samsung’s The Frame Pro is still king. Samsung offers several enhancements for the 2026 model, including a new user interface, extra AI features, and refined screen tech to make art look even more realistic. 艺术电视市场目前非常火爆。亚马逊凭借 Ember Artline 强势入局,这是一款纤薄时尚的 65 英寸机型,售价仅为 1,100 美元。海信和 TCL 也推出了低成本机型。但如果你追求极致,三星的 The Frame Pro 依然是王者。三星为 2026 款机型提供了多项升级,包括全新的用户界面、额外的 AI 功能以及经过优化的屏幕技术,使艺术作品看起来更加逼真。

I was already impressed by the 2025 model, which leveraged its exceptional contrast and solid picture quality to reveal beautiful textures in artwork leading to better performance than the TCL NXTVISION. For 2026, there aren’t any radical design changes, but the subtle improvements make this high-end art TV even more compelling. That is if you can stomach the $500 jump from last year’s model to a price of $2,000. 我对 2025 款机型印象深刻,它凭借出色的对比度和扎实的画质,展现了艺术品中细腻的纹理,表现优于 TCL NXTVISION。2026 款在设计上没有激进的改变,但这些细微的改进使这款高端艺术电视更具吸引力——前提是你能够接受它比去年机型贵出 500 美元,达到 2,000 美元的售价。

The Setup

安装过程

The two-bracket setup process is relatively straightforward. A paper template helps you align the screws and drill holes, but this YouTube video provided a much easier approach. I got the TV mounted in 35 minutes, which is slightly longer than 20 minutes it took to install the one-bracket Ember Artline. 双支架的安装过程相对简单。纸质模板可以帮助你对齐螺丝和钻孔,但参考 YouTube 上的视频会更轻松。我花了 35 分钟安装好电视,这比安装单支架的 Ember Artline(耗时 20 分钟)稍微久一点。

Once mounted, The Frame Pro sits mostly flush against the wall, and you can use foam spacers (available in two different thicknesses) to extend the TV out from the wall. While the Artline allows you to pull the whole unit out a few inches to access the ports, you’ll need to unmount The Frame Pro to access the ports. Fortunately, unmounting is a rare scenario because Samsung included a breakout box, which serves as a wireless bridge to allow you to connect gaming consoles and set-top boxes without having to touch the TV. For me, I only had to worry about the power cord. 安装完成后,The Frame Pro 几乎与墙面齐平,你还可以使用泡沫垫片(有两种厚度可选)将电视向外延伸。虽然 Artline 允许你将整个机身拉出几英寸来连接接口,但 The Frame Pro 需要卸下才能接触到接口。幸运的是,卸下电视的情况很少见,因为三星配备了一个外接盒,它充当无线桥接器,让你无需触碰电视即可连接游戏机和机顶盒。对我来说,我只需要处理电源线。

Samsung sent me the higher end Deco Burlwood wood frames (made exclusively for The Frame Pro) that cost $699. Samsung’s standard bezels cost $199 and come in several colors but are much thinner. Both versions snap into place using magnets. 三星寄给我的是高端 Deco Burlwood 木质边框(专为 The Frame Pro 设计),售价 699 美元。三星的标准边框售价 199 美元,有多种颜色可选,但厚度较薄。两个版本都通过磁吸方式安装。

The Samsung Wireless One Connect breakout box is the same one included with the 2025 model and supports Wi-Fi 7 to connect to the TV. The television itself uses Wi-Fi 5 for better compatibility if you use the built-in apps on the TV. I can’t say enough about how the breakout box provides flexibility and far less cable clutter. In contrast, the aesthetic of every other art TV when mounted to a wall is hampered by an array of dangling cords. 三星无线 One Connect 外接盒与 2025 款附带的相同,支持 Wi-Fi 7 与电视连接。电视本身使用 Wi-Fi 5,以便在使用内置应用程序时获得更好的兼容性。外接盒带来的灵活性和极简的布线效果令人赞叹。相比之下,其他艺术电视在挂墙时,往往会被一堆悬挂的线缆破坏美感。

The breakout box lives discretely in my cabinet. I connected Klipsch’s The Nines II speakers using an HDMI eARC cable for Dolby Atmos surround sound. If you use an AV receiver for surround sound, you may find that the HDMI 2.1 eARC port stops working when switching between HDMI inputs on the receiver. Instead, I just plugged my Xbox Series X and an Acer Nitro gaming computer to the two HDMI ports on the breakout box (there are four total, including eARC). There’s also a coaxial connection, an Ethernet port, and an optical port for audio, though I didn’t use those for my testing. 外接盒被我隐蔽地放在柜子里。我使用 HDMI eARC 线连接了 Klipsch The Nines II 音箱,以获得杜比全景声环绕音效。如果你使用 AV 功放来处理环绕声,可能会发现在切换功放的 HDMI 输入时,HDMI 2.1 eARC 端口会停止工作。因此,我直接将 Xbox Series X 和 Acer Nitro 游戏电脑插在了外接盒的两个 HDMI 端口上(总共有四个,包括 eARC)。此外还有同轴接口、以太网端口和音频光纤接口,不过我在测试中没有用到它们。

Samsung’s new One UI Tizen operating system this year makes setting up and using the TV a lot more intuitive. Rather than going through Samsung’s SmartThings app on last year’s model, the new setup occurs entirely on the television. It’s also much easier to find apps, browse through shows and other content, and locate settings. The only annoyance is that you’ll need to authenticate your account using a phone or by text just to get streaming apps and the artwork function to work. 三星今年全新的 One UI Tizen 操作系统使电视的设置和使用更加直观。与去年机型需要通过 SmartThings App 设置不同,新的设置过程完全在电视上完成。查找应用、浏览节目及其他内容、定位设置也变得容易得多。唯一令人烦恼的是,你需要通过手机或短信验证账户,才能使用流媒体应用和艺术画廊功能。

The remote is exactly the same as last year’s The Frame, with dedicated buttons for Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube. It’s small, light, and easy to use. 遥控器与去年的 The Frame 完全相同,带有 Netflix、Amazon Prime 和 YouTube 的专用按钮。它小巧、轻便且易于使用。

Testing the Artwork

艺术画廊测试

I was mostly interested in seeing how the new anti-glare tech works on The Frame Pro 2026. I was pleasantly surprised to see new Star Wars artwork in the library. An absolutely glorious image of AT-AT walkers with a dark sky and brown tints matched the wood frames and looked hyper-realistic with the TV’s subtle matte finish. I was sold, and this was before viewing several masterpieces from Van Gogh, AI-generated images, and my own photos. 我最感兴趣的是 The Frame Pro 2026 的全新防眩光技术表现如何。令我惊喜的是,库中出现了新的《星球大战》艺术作品。AT-AT 步行机在深色天空和棕色调背景下的画面极其壮观,与木质边框完美契合,配合电视细腻的哑光涂层,看起来极其逼真。我被彻底征服了,这还是在观看梵高的几幅杰作、AI 生成图像以及我自己的照片之前。

Beyond the monthly rotation of 30 free images, to get access to the entire library of artwork, you’ll need to pay a $4.99 monthly subscription. Rivals offer more value here. Amazon includes 2,000 free art images with the Artline, and TCL includes 350 on the NXTVISION. 除了每月轮换的 30 张免费图片外,要访问整个艺术库,你需要支付每月 4.99 美元的订阅费。在这方面,竞争对手更具性价比。亚马逊的 Artline 包含 2,000 张免费艺术图片,TCL 的 NXTVISION 则包含 350 张。

With the recent release of the Ember Artline, Samsung now has some serious competition, especially with AI features. Alexa+ on the Artline does a better job of generating AI art using simple voice commands. The Bixby bot on The Frame Pro 2026 still uses keywords like “contemporary” and “landscape” to make AI images, and the results are still appealing even if the process seems less intuitive. Other bots like Copilot and Perplexity are available but didn’t help me generate art by voice. (My Copilot login did not authenticate, and Samsung is checking into this.) 随着 Ember Artline 的发布,三星现在面临严峻的竞争,尤其是在 AI 功能方面。Artline 上的 Alexa+ 在使用简单语音指令生成 AI 艺术品方面表现更好。The Frame Pro 2026 上的 Bixby 机器人仍然使用“当代”、“风景”等关键词来制作 AI 图像,尽管过程看起来不那么直观,但结果依然令人满意。其他如 Copilot 和 Perplexity 等机器人虽然可用,但无法通过语音帮我生成艺术品。(我的 Copilot 登录未能通过验证,三星正在核查此事。)

Image quality is where The Frame Pro 2026 shines. The Neo QLED screen tech is far superior to the Ember Artline and helps Samsung justify its price premium. The new anti-glare tech this year further improves the experience. Even compared to Samsung’s 2025 model, Andrew Wyeth’s Christina’s World looks even more realistic on the new hardware. Additionally, the 2026 The Frame Pro comes with Pantone color calibration out of the box, has exceptional contrast and color depth, and ships with sensors to automatically adjust the display brightness based on your room. Even in a bright room, the AT-AT image still retained its textures and realism. 画质是 The Frame Pro 2026 的闪光点。Neo QLED 屏幕技术远超 Ember Artline,这让三星的高溢价显得物有所值。今年的新防眩光技术进一步提升了体验。即使与三星 2025 款相比,安德鲁·怀斯的《克里斯蒂娜的世界》在新硬件上看起来也更加逼真。此外,2026 款 The Frame Pro 出厂即经过 Pantone 色彩校准,拥有出色的对比度和色彩深度,并配备了传感器,可根据房间光线自动调节显示亮度。即使在明亮的房间里,AT-AT 的图像依然保留了其纹理和真实感。
