Samsung Lifestyle TV – new Serif 65” and Frame 85” (AV)
Aussies like big TVs, so Samsung has upped the Serif to 65” and the ‘artwork on the wall’ Frame to 85”. These are called Samsung Lifestyle TV.
These are both excellent 4K QLED TVs for very different user scenarios. The more playful Serif can sit on tripod legs, a bookshelf and take advantage of its same colour back.
The Frame artwork on a wall looks best as a piece of art or as part of a montage of artwork. The 85” is huge and will dominate a room – Look out, Da Vinci, because its art looks so natural.
On average, Australians have 2.7 TVs in their home. Our lifestyle range offers a smart TV experience coupled with Samsung’s leading QLED picture quality as our viewing habits evolve. 85″ is now the fastest-growing segment.
