We’ve lengthy sung the praises of Samsung’s The Body TV. It boasts picture-frame edges and an ultra-thin bezel, to assist with the phantasm. The TV additionally mounts flat towards the wall, so it may be positioned nearly wherever. There isn’t even a big and ornery energy cable. The TV connects through a skinny wire that results in an exterior receiver/port hub, which in flip goes to the ability outlet. This wire is sufficiently small to simply disguise behind a plant or one thing, but it surely will also be dropped behind drywall and popped again out someplace else.
As for TV specs, it is a 4K QLED panel with a 120Hz refresh charge in TV mode. This refresh charge drops to 60Hz when in canvas mode as a result of, properly, there’s not that a lot to refresh. The matte show additionally limits mild reflection, enhancing display screen visibility in each TV and canvas mode.
There are two caveats right here. This sale is just for the 55-inch mannequin, so the bigger TVs will nonetheless break the financial institution. Additionally, the deal applies to only the model with the white bezel, which can not completely swimsuit the aesthetics of each client.
