The Frame, an elegant masterpiece that seamlessly blends into its surroundings, was designed in collaboration with world-renowned designer Yves Behar. The television truly blurs the line between art and technology, thanks to its stunning design and ability to display beautiful works of art when not being used as a TV. And with Samsung’s No Gap Wall-Mount, it can hang flush to the wall, just like an actual framed picture.

For these reasons, Sotheby’s, which has been uniting collectors with world-class works of art since 1744, has integrated the television into its Contemporary Living exhibition. Running until July 19, the auction combines the categories of Photographs, Prints and 20th Century Design to ignite a compelling dialogue between a diverse group of works from each discipline.

Furthermore, the newly updated Sotheby’s app is now available on Samsung Smart TVs worldwide. For the first time, consumers can view Sotheby’s Auction Catalogues in their entirety, with full imagery and information regarding upcoming sales. HD Auction Streams are also now available for all Sotheby’s New York, London, Geneva and Hong Kong auctions, as well as worldwide RM Sotheby’s automobile auctions. Additionally, the app showcases Sotheby’s Museum Network, a hub that brings together more than 450 videos from over 50 of the world’s leading cultural institutions and makes them accessible to a global audience of art lovers and collectors.

“World-class works of art deserve a world-class viewing experience,” said David Goodman, Sotheby’s Executive Vice President of Digital Development and Marketing. “Whether browsing the Sotheby’s Auction Catalogues via the Sotheby’s App on Samsung Smart TVs or experiencing an artwork for the first time on The Frame at Sotheby’s during one of our exhibitions, Sotheby’s and Samsung are working together to bring art to people in groundbreaking ways.”

The Frame offers 4K UHD picture quality and can display over one billion shades of color. Instead of fading to black like a conventional TV when switched off, the device’s display transforms into a customizable work of art that elegantly exhibits a selection of artwork through ‘Art Mode.’ Users can choose from more than 100 professional works that vary in genre, composition and subject via the exclusive ‘Samsung Collection.’

Paired with customizable accessory options including interchangeable bezels and an optional Studio Stand, The Frame truly complements the living space, bringing art and entertainment into the home in entirely new ways.

Samsung Electronics is presenting the latest in the evolution of cutting-edge home appliances and the Internet of Things (IoT) in its 2,600-square-meter exhibition space at CES 2016, the world’s largest consumer electronics show, which began January 6 in Las Vegas.

Visitors to the hall are greeted by a constantly moving display made from 44 SUHD TVs. The up-and-down movement of the TVs suggests how the human experience expands through TV, a window of the world.

As it did last year, Samsung has an IoT section at the center of the exhibition site, this time under the message of “In Sync with REAL Life”. By doing so, Samsung encourages visitors to participate, showing them practical, real-world examples of how the IoT works. The IoT section is comprised of six themed booths, each offering a direct experience in how IoT technology, combined with Samsung products, can transform and improve modern life.

The six booth themes are as follows:

IoT Hub TV (SUHD TV)

This booth demonstrates how TV is at the center of the expanding IoT ecosystem, giving people total control of their devices from a huge screen and an easy-to-use interface. In addition, this booth offers a variety of home security solutions to safeguard your home.

Family Hub Refrigerator

As Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator is the new IoT-powered appliance, this booth allows people to experience how smart home appliances are changing family life. With a Full-HD, 21.5-inch screen, Family Hub helps families improve food management and family communication. In addition, with Family Hub Refrigerator, people can stream music or TV content from their Samsung Smart TVs directly to the Family Hub’s LCD screen, turning the kitchen into a more entertaining place.

Gear S2 with Galaxy TabPro S

Through the Galaxy TabPro S, check out IoT features—Transportation, Commerce, Health, Inside and Outside Control and Notification—on the Gear S2 wearable device.

Samsung Pay/Knox

Try out a real-world simulation of Samsung Pay, Samsung’s simple and safe mobile payment service. In addition, visitors can explore Samsung Knox, the hardware integrated mobile security platform that provides a defense-grade security.

IoT Hub

See how people can monitor, control and customize their homes—anytime, anywhere—by connecting SmartThings and more than 200 certified devices, including Samsung products and service partners.

Partnerships

SmartThings allows you to monitor your car, control your home appliances on the road and watch a collaboration with Samsung C&T for wearable devices.

In addition to those booths, many other cutting-edge electronics are on display at Samsung’s exhibition site for CES 2016. Samsung is showcasing SUHD TVs with Quantum dot display, along with the curved monitor CF591—with an 1800R radius curvature, it has the tightest curvature rate in the world, making it very comfortable for the eyes. Samsung is also displaying its new soundbar for the first time, the HW-K950, which offers theater-like 3D sound and 5.1.4-channels system.

Furthermore, Samsung is showcasing its Black Stainless design of kitchen appliances, which offers a classy, dark look for the home. Samsung’s other innovative home appliances, including AddWash (washing machine), Chef Collection, POWERbot (robot vacuum cleaner), and Flex Duo with dual-door oven, is also on display.

Samsung has also prepared an exhibition zone for the latest in mobile device technologies. Two new editions of the Samsung Gear S2 Classic are on-hand, featuring new materials and colors, along with the Galaxy TabPro S—a Windows 10-based tablet that delivers all the benefits of both a tablet and laptop, at the same time.

A diverse range of new, consumer-ready memory products are being exhibited, too. They include the T3 (a premium 2TB external SSD, to be released in February), the 950 PRO M.2 (a superfast Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe*) M.2 form factor SSD with vertical NAND (V-NAND) technology), and the 128GB PRO Plus SD, along with microSD memory cards.

There is also a zone demonstrating the accessibility-related features of Samsung products, including SUHD TVs, for people with disabilities. Samsung won a CES 2016 Best of Innovation Award in the Accessible Tech category with this feature. Voice Guidance is a voice command system, while Enlarge and High Contrast modes configure the screen for easier use by people with vision impairments. These TVs also offer Multi Output Audio (so one person can use headphones while watching TV without disabling the audio output from the TV speakers) and Learn Remote Control mode (to provide help using a remote control).
