Elegance Meets Innovation: TCL and Bang & Olufsen's Answer to The Frame TV
TCL has recently unveiled a TV range that is poised to make waves in the home entertainment and décor world. Drawing comparisons with Samsung’s The Frame models, TCL’s new offerings, the NXTFRAME and NXTFRAME Pro, aim to blend seamlessly into your living space. They are designed to serve dual purposes: an impeccable display for entertainment and a sophisticated piece of art when not in use.
The NXTFRAME series is distinguished by its aesthetic appeal, with a combination of an off-white bezel and a wood-colored magnetic frame. When the TV is off, it displays artwork, turning it into a focal point in any room, much like a gallery piece. This design consideration ensures that even when the TV is not in use, it remains an integral part of your home décor, rather than an obtrusive black screen.
Taking it a notch higher, the NXTFRAME Pro model includes a matching wireless 3.1.2 soundbar and subwoofer, developed in collaboration with the renowned audio brand, Bang & Olufsen. This partnership infuses the sound system with B&O’s trademark audio signature and their BeoSonic technology, promising an auditory experience that is as impressive as the visual one. The inclusion of this high-end audio setup ensures that the NXTFRAME Pro is not just a TV but a complete home theater solution.
When it comes to picture performance and specifications, the NXTFRAME range holds its own against some of the best TVs available today. Both the Pro and standard models feature a QLED Pro panel with HDR Ultra and Dolby Vision IQ support. This combination guarantees vibrant colors and deep contrasts, enhancing the viewing experience. For gamers, these TVs are a dream come true with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and VRR technology, making them compatible with Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Additionally, game mode and AMD FreeSync Premium support are included to ensure smooth and responsive gameplay.
The smart features of the NXTFRAME series are equally impressive. With Google TV on board, users have access to a myriad of streaming services and smart functionalities, including voice control. The TVs come equipped with three HDMI inputs, with one being eARC compatible, ensuring seamless connectivity with other devices. Supported audio formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS Virtual:X further enhance the immersive experience.
The TCL NXTFRAME TV range offers a variety of screen sizes, from 55 inches to a massive 85 inches, with prices starting at $1,499. The NXTFRAME Pro, with its exceptional audio components, is also available in the same screen sizes but with a starting price of $1,999. Whether you are a casual viewer, a gaming enthusiast, or a décor aficionado, TCL’s NXTFRAME series promises to cater to all your needs with style and performance.
