TCL has launched a budget-friendly alternative to Samsung's Frame QLED television, and it's currently discounted to its lowest price on record.
Samsung's Frame TV pioneered the art-display TV category, allowing owners to show artwork and photos on their screens when not watching traditional content. The Frame QLED starts around $1,500 and appeals to design-conscious consumers willing to pay premium prices for aesthetics.
TCL's answer costs significantly less. The TCL S6 delivers the same core concept. the television displays artwork and photographs when idle, blending into home decor like a framed painting. Right now, TCL has cut nearly $600 off the regular price, making it an accessible entry point for buyers who want art-mode functionality without the Samsung premium.
