The new model in the Objet collection was launched last year. In the third quarter of 2022, the Posé will be available in four screen sizes: 42, 48, and 55 inches.

The 65-inch Easel was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show and has a sliding fabric cover to hide the screen. When not used, both can display artwork or photos.

A lifestyle TV is something. There is a premium for a TV in our homes. It's a good idea to say "looks nice when in the middle of my living room" when buying a television. It doesn't require me to take out a loan to pay for it because it's bigger than my neighbor's. TV manufacturers convinced us that a black rectangular shape in the middle of our home is normal.

The popularity of The Frame TV, which turns the black rectangle into a convincing-looking piece of art when not in use, is something I would not put in my home. Some of the features you want in a TV can be sacrificed.

Even though there is no pricing on them yet, they will likely be expensive since they have the same technology used in the company's premium models. The company's 65-inch G2 Gallery Edition is more expensive than the 65-inch The Frame, which is a cheaper model. Local dimming, flush mounting, and having all the wires and connections hidden are just a few of the design features sacrificed by the frame.

The Posé is likely to be cheaper than the other options. The TV free is located in the living room. The thicker frame around it makes it double as a shelf. The Frame has a Gallery Mode that allows it to show pictures on a self-lit digital canvas. There is an effective cable management system. The press image suggests that there is a wireless power option, but we assume that is not the case.

During Milan Design Week, the company is showing off two of its new arty TVs. lifestyle TVs shouldn't be limited to being aspirational. TV manufacturing has always been a game of following the leader, and there are hundreds of budget options that give much of what the higher end brands do. There are only a few models that fit into your home like pieces of furniture or art. The time has come for TV manufacturers to give us more affordable options for the largest screen in our homes.
