The Best Art TVs
The Best Art TVs
最佳艺术电视
I have watched Star Wars so many times I’ve lost count. Yet, I’m also a bit of an art snob. For years, the Andrew Wyeth painting Christina’s World took a prominent place in my living room. Art televisions—the category of TV pioneered by Samsung’s Frame and now rapidly expanding with models from many of the major TV producers—combine my passion for movies and shows with an even greater interest in art and photography.
我看过《星球大战》的次数多到数不清。然而，我也有点艺术势利眼。多年来，安德鲁·怀斯的画作《克里斯蒂娜的世界》一直占据着我客厅的显眼位置。艺术电视——这一由三星 The Frame 系列开创，并随着各大电视厂商纷纷推出新款而迅速扩大的电视品类——将我对电影和节目的热爱，与我对艺术和摄影更浓厚的兴趣结合在了一起。
When it comes to their performance as televisions, even the best art TVs don’t have quite the same punchy colors and speedy refresh rates found on similarly priced standard televisions. However, when the movie is finished, art TVs look a lot better in a room, displaying art and photos on a matte screen with a pristine clarity in a space otherwise wasted by a black box.
在电视性能方面，即使是最好的艺术电视，其色彩的冲击力和刷新率也无法完全媲美同价位的标准电视。然而，当电影播放完毕后，艺术电视在房间里的表现要好得多；它们在哑光屏幕上以极高的清晰度展示艺术品和照片，填补了原本会被“黑色方块”浪费的空间。
Art televisions are typically just a little more expensive than a normal 4K TV. The main players in this market are Samsung, Amazon, Hisense, and TCL, with prices ranging from $1,100 to $2,000. An art TV uses a matte finish and includes a few hundred (or even thousands) of art images and photographs. Some, like the new Amazon Ember Artline, include “moving artwork”—essentially, a painting that comes alive with subtle video elements.
艺术电视的价格通常比普通 4K 电视稍贵一些。目前市场上的主要参与者包括三星、亚马逊、海信和 TCL，价格从 1,100 美元到 2,000 美元不等。艺术电视采用哑光涂层，并内置了数百（甚至数千）幅艺术画作和摄影作品。其中一些，比如新款亚马逊 Ember Artline，还包含“动态艺术品”——本质上就是通过微妙的视频元素让画作“活”起来。
There’s hidden cost savings here. Buying a framed painting, even as a photo print, can easily cost $600 or more at the larger sizes. That’s also just one static painting. An art television can show Picasso one day and Andrew Wyeth the next. Want an actual oil painting from someone who is famous? That costs many thousands more. And, of course, no painting is capable of switching to Netflix to watch Rebel Moon.
这里面还隐藏着成本节约。购买一幅装裱好的画作，即使只是照片打印件，大尺寸的也动辄需要 600 美元甚至更多。而且那只是一幅静态画。而艺术电视今天可以展示毕加索的作品，明天就可以换成安德鲁·怀斯。想要名家的真迹油画？那需要多花几千美元。当然，没有任何一幅画能切换到 Netflix 去看《月球叛军》。
The Best Art TV: Samsung The Frame Pro (2026)
最佳艺术电视：三星 The Frame Pro (2026)
Pros: Intuitive new OS. Excellent contrast and picture quality. Massive number of art images. Anti-glare coating actually works. High refresh rate for gaming. 优点： 直观的新操作系统。出色的对比度和画质。海量的艺术图像库。防眩光涂层效果显著。支持高刷新率游戏。
Cons: Monthly subscription required to access most artwork. 缺点： 访问大部分艺术作品需要每月订阅。
I still remember the moment I realized Samsung’s The Frame Pro 2026 is the best art television around. I loaded Van Gogh’s The Starry Night painting with its various shades of blue. The masterpiece came alive with texture and realism thanks to the contrast ratio and clear picture quality. I marched friends and family members down to my office to gaze in wonder.
我至今仍记得意识到三星 The Frame Pro 2026 是目前市面上最好的艺术电视的那一刻。我加载了梵高的《星夜》，画中各种深浅的蓝色呈现出来。得益于出色的对比度和清晰的画质，这幅杰作仿佛充满了质感和真实感，变得栩栩如生。我把朋友和家人都叫到我的办公室，让他们惊叹不已。
Installing The Frame Pro is a bit of a process, though. I ended up watching a YouTube video for help. About an inch thin, this model sits mostly flush to the wall. Rather than connecting your streaming boxes directly to the TV, Samsung’s Wireless One Connect breakout box acts as a bridge. I connected my Xbox Series X and PC to the HDMI ports (there are four total) on the breakout box, which then connects to The Frame Pro using Wi-Fi 7 from across the room. Navigating The Frame Pro was also easy, thanks to the intuitive UI and the lightweight, long-lasting remote.
不过，安装 The Frame Pro 有点繁琐。我最后不得不看 YouTube 视频寻求帮助。这款电视厚度约一英寸，安装后几乎与墙面齐平。三星没有让流媒体盒子直接连接电视，而是通过 Wireless One Connect 分离盒作为桥梁。我将 Xbox Series X 和 PC 连接到分离盒的 HDMI 端口（总共四个），然后通过 Wi-Fi 7 从房间另一端连接到 The Frame Pro。得益于直观的 UI 和轻便耐用的遥控器，操作 The Frame Pro 也非常简单。
Free users have access to Samsung’s rotating catalog of 30 free images, but subscribers willing to pay $4.99 monthly will have access to 5,000 pieces of art. The Frame Pro 2026 has the widest variety of artwork, including hundreds of masterpieces, but I preferred Amazon’s Ember Artline “moving artwork” feature better.
免费用户可以访问三星轮换提供的 30 幅免费图像，但愿意每月支付 4.99 美元的订阅用户可以访问 5,000 件艺术品。The Frame Pro 2026 拥有最丰富的艺术品种类，包括数百幅名作，但我个人更喜欢亚马逊 Ember Artline 的“动态艺术品”功能。
At $2,000, The Frame Pro is the most expensive option on our list, and it’s worth its price. Even though most manufacturers, Samsung included, don’t list specs for their art TVs, The Frame Pro 2026 displayed artwork and photos with the best contrast and picture quality.
2,000 美元的价格让 The Frame Pro 成为我们榜单中最昂贵的选择，但它物有所值。尽管大多数制造商（包括三星）都没有列出其艺术电视的具体参数，但 The Frame Pro 2026 在对比度和画质方面确实展现了最佳的艺术品和照片显示效果。
I was blown away by the picture quality for movies. When viewing Netflix’s Awake, which displays a lot of night scenes, I was able to still see all of the action. In comparison, the same scenes looked muddy and dull on the TCL NXTVISION and Amazon Ember Artline.
它在电影播放方面的画质令我惊叹。在观看 Netflix 的《觉醒》时，片中有很多夜景，我依然能看清所有的动作细节。相比之下，同样的场景在 TCL NXTVISION 和亚马逊 Ember Artline 上看起来则显得浑浊且暗淡。
The 2026 model now supports high-fidelity gaming with a 240 Hz refresh rate when connected to a gaming computer (though it does lower the resolution). I played Crimson Desert and the main character—wearing a black suit of armor—moved realistically and responded quickly to my controller nudges.
2026 款现在支持高保真游戏，连接游戏电脑时可实现 240 Hz 刷新率（尽管会降低分辨率）。我玩了《红色沙漠》，主角穿着黑色盔甲，动作非常逼真，对我的手柄操作响应迅速。
For AI features, you have a few options. Samsung lets you pick from Alexa+ or Samsung’s Bixby to control the volume by voice or ask about which thrillers came out this month. You can also use Microsoft Copilot or Perplexity. However, the Amazon Ember Artline was the only art television that let me generate AI artwork by voice.
在 AI 功能方面，你有几种选择。三星允许你选择 Alexa+ 或三星的 Bixby，通过语音控制音量或询问本月上映了哪些惊悚片。你也可以使用 Microsoft Copilot 或 Perplexity。然而，亚马逊 Ember Artline 是唯一一款允许我通过语音生成 AI 艺术作品的艺术电视。
The Frame Pro 2026 is my top pick for art TVs because paintings looked the most realistic. If you want the best quality and are willing to pay a higher price, it’s a phenomenal choice.
The Frame Pro 2026 是我心目中艺术电视的首选，因为它的画作显示效果最为逼真。如果你追求极致画质且愿意支付更高的价格，它是一个绝佳的选择。
Best on a Budget: Amazon Ember Artline TV
预算之选：亚马逊 Ember Artline 电视
Pros: Design is beautiful, especially when mounted on a wall. One free set of bezels. Alexa+ is integrated and chatty. Video artwork looks stunning. Mounting is easy. Affordable price. 优点： 设计精美，尤其是挂在墙上时。附赠一套边框。内置了健谈的 Alexa+。视频艺术作品效果惊艳。安装简便。价格实惠。
Cons: Picture quality is middling. Alexa+ is not quite as powerful as Google Gemini. Refresh rate is low. 缺点： 画质平平。Alexa+ 的能力不如 Google Gemini。刷新率较低。
I wasn’t sure about the Amazon Ember Artline at first. Having tested several Amazon Fire TV televisions over the years, I knew the screen tech was roughly the same as those models with average contrast ratio and middling picture quality. Yet, I was won over by the design aesthetics, an option for a free bezel, and support for unique AI features.
起初，我对亚马逊 Ember Artline 并不确定。多年来测试过几款亚马逊 Fire TV 电视后，我知道其屏幕技术与那些型号大致相同，对比度一般，画质平平。然而，它的设计美学、免费边框选项以及对独特 AI 功能的支持最终打动了我。
A little thicker than The Frame Pro at 1.5 inches, the Amazon Ember Artline still looks stunning with the brown bezels I selected. Like The Frame Pro, the Ember Artline sits mostly flush against the wall once mounted.
亚马逊 Ember Artline 的厚度为 1.5 英寸，比 The Frame Pro 稍厚，但我选配的棕色边框让它看起来依然非常惊艳。和 The Frame Pro 一样，Ember Artline 安装后也几乎与墙面齐平。
The install process was easier than any of the art televisions I tested, mostly because there is one bracket to screw into the wall and super-clear instructions. There isn’t a breakout box to connect peripherals, but you can…
它的安装过程比我测试过的任何艺术电视都要简单，主要是因为它只需要一个支架固定在墙上，且说明书非常清晰。它没有用于连接外设的分离盒，但你可以……
