TVs aren’t always a form of art, but The Frame TV certainly pushes the boundary between a TV and an art piece, is a pretty unique piece of tech to snag, and is probably one of the best TVs on the market. That said, being something that is half painting, half TV can get pretty expensive, especially if you want something on the bigger side to fill a big space. Luckily, there’s an excellent Memorial Day weekend deal on the The Frame TV, knocking up to $1,000 off the stylish telly.

Why you should buy the Samsung Frame TV

A unique thing about The Frame TV is that it essentially turns into a sort of art display when you switch the TV off, with a massive collection of images you can pick from a Samsung subscription service, or you can upload your own. As such, it’s a great way to have the TV blend with decoration and the environment, and given that it’s so thin, it really does feel like a painting, especially if you grab one of the accessories made to change the bezel of the TV. Of course, being able to display high-quality images of pictures that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing also means you get a TV with excellent image reproduction and fidelity.

The Frame TV comes with a 3,840 x 2,160 resolution, which is a little over 4K, and a whopping 84.5-inch diagonal size, making it a pretty massive TV that could easily fit a whole section of a wall. It also comes with both Quantum HDR and HDR 10+ for excellent contrast and colors, while the Quantum Processor 4K helps adjust the image quality on the fly to make it as crisp as possible. Similarly, the 120Hz base refresh rate gives you a smoother viewing experience, both when watching action-packed content, and when in art mode. The faster refresh rate is also perfect for those who want to play on a console or high-end gaming PC.

Overall, The Frame is an excellent TV that’s made to fit seamlessly into a home, and while the 85-inch version is a bit pricey, even after the Samsung discount bringing it down to $3,300, it’s worth every penny. Of course, if that’s still a bit too exoensive or too big for you, there are a lot of other discounts on other sizes.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy
LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.

The LG C6 OLED is great out of the box. These settings make it even better.
From Filmmaker Mode to shadow detail and AI Sound Pro, these are the settings that made the biggest difference after a month of testing the LG C6 OLED.

The LG C6 OLED is one of the best mid-range OLED TVs you can buy right now. After spending the past month testing and using it every day, one thing became clear: straight out of the box, you're leaving picture quality on the table.

The good news is that getting more out of the TV doesn't require professional calibration or hours spent digging through menus. A handful of small adjustments can make movies look more cinematic, improve shadow detail, smooth out motion and even make the built-in speakers sound noticeably better. Here are the exact settings I've been using after living with the LG C6.
