One of the best ways to transform and enhance your living space is by adding artwork to the space. But, what if you have the need for a TV in this space? That's where the Samsung Frame TV comes in!

 

This device is not just a television; it's a canvas that reflects your personal style and creativity. In this blog post, I'll guide you through the steps to add Collection Prints art to the Samsung Frame TV, turning your living room into a space that truly represents you.

Why Add Your Own Art to Samsung Frame TV?

The Samsung Frame TV is designed to blend seamlessly into your home decor, displaying art when not in use as a television. By adding your own art, you can:

  • Personalize Your Space: Make your living area more personal and unique, reflecting your tastes and memories.
  • Update Your Decor: Easily change the artwork displayed throughout the year to match seasonal themes, moods, or interior design updates.

How to Add Your Own Art to Samsung Frame TV

Step 1: Prepare Your Artwork

We make this first step very easy. After purchasing the "Digital Download" version of our art, you'll be email several JPG files including one designed exclusively for the Frame TV.

Step 2: Transfer Your Art to the TV

There are several ways to transfer your artwork to the Samsung Frame TV:

  • SmartThings App: Use the Samsung SmartThings app on your smartphone to upload pictures directly to the TV. Navigate to the "Art Mode" section and select "Add Your Photos." From here, you can browse your device for the artwork you wish to upload.
  • USB Drive: Save your artwork on a USB drive in either JPEG or PNG format. Plug the drive into the TV, and use the "Art Mode" settings to select and display your art from the drive.
  • Cloud Storage: If your artwork is stored in a cloud service, you can access it through the TV's internet browser and save it directly to the Frame TV's storage for display.

 

Step 3: Customize Display Settings

Once your artwork is uploaded, you can customize how it's displayed:

  • Matting: Add a virtual mat around your art to enhance its appearance. You can choose from various colors and styles to complement your piece.
  • Brightness: Adjust the screen brightness to ensure your art looks its best in all lighting conditions. The Frame TV also features a brightness sensor that automatically adjusts the display based on ambient light.
  • Orientation: Depending on the orientation of your artwork, you can display it in either landscape or portrait mode.

Tips for Best Display Results

  • Color Calibration: Consider calibrating your TV's color settings to ensure accurate representation of your art's colors.
  • Regular Updates: Keep your living space fresh by regularly updating the artwork displayed on your Frame TV.
