Versatility is one of the greatest strengths of Samsung’s award-winning lifestyle TV, The Frame. Not only does it offer customization to fit any home décor and stunning QLED picture quality, but the Art Store also transforms the user’s display into a window to the world. With over 1,500 pieces to choose from, including world-renowned artworks like Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ and partnerships with Magnum Photos, Etsy and a host of museums, the Art Store lets consumers embark on a premium virtual travel experience from the comfort of their home.

 

With July bearing the curation theme of ‘Summer Vibes’, Samsung Newsroom is introducing photographer Dean West, who travels across continents to take pictures that capture things like the intensity of the desert heat, the refreshing first step into a luxury pool and the feeling of the sun on a tropical beach. West strives to give viewers an escape from reality with his art, and always finds himself coming back to landscapes that are warm and bright – or, as he describes them, “the places you’d rather be.”

Showcasing Carefully Crafted Scenes With Quantum Dot Technology

Vibrant colors are a key aspect of West’s artfully orchestrated scenes. “When photographing a scene, I always try to capture the essence or the feeling of a place,” says West. “Color is one way of communicating that. For example, when capturing my pool scenes, the feeling I’m going for is that moment when you first take off your sunglasses – when the sun bounces off the walls into the glistening pool. A colorful array of swimsuits and sunscreen-soaked skin are made visible, and color plays a beautiful role in capturing that essence.”

The Frame’s QLED 4K picture quality offers the perfect medium for West’s work to be showcased to thousands across the globe. Quantum Dot technology allows more than a billion colors to be displayed at 100% color volume, allowing West’s artistic intent to shine through on a bright screen with vivid and accurate color reproduction. The cutting-edge display technology analyzes every piece of each image and adjusts the contrast to give it an enhanced sense of depth and color for a stunning result every time.

 

“The technology used provides such a harmonious viewing experience that it has to be seen to be believed,” relates West. “The display’s ability to reproduce color and light is so good that photographers and viewers from around the world can’t help but express their admiration. On top of this, The Frame gives users from all corners of the globe quality access to works that they may otherwise never have seen. This alone is something I truly respect.”

 

West describes ‘art’ as a series of complex images that blend into a single idea. He adds, “Understanding light is at the heart of creating imagery that are vivid and bright. Any person can put themselves in the right place at the right time and capture something beautiful, but learning to blend complex images takes years to master. The keys are to be curious, do your research and make the time to create.”

How Technology Is Making the Art World More Accessible

Technology plays a key role in expanding access to art. It provides a multitude of platforms on which work can be displayed and accessed by a broad range of users on different devices. And The Frame is one of those devices. “We’ve already seen how wonderfully the worlds of art and tech are merging,” West remarks. “Artists have always used the best tools available to them at the time, and they will continue to do so as technology advances.”

 

The Art Store provides access to an expansive library of artworks to appeal to every taste, mood or setting. This ever-growing collection features pieces from a wide range of eras, as well as contributions from 47 global partners and 626 artists so far.

 

Fifteen of Dean’s pieces are available today for display on the Art Store and The Frame.

      At first glance, Sun Yitian’s paintings can feel bright, crisp and almost disarmingly familiar. But beneath their polished surfaces is something more elusive — a tension between innocence and artifice, nostalgia and unease. That quality has made her one of the most closely watched voices in contemporary painting today.

      Painting the Familiar Anew
      Q. “Ken” (2023) is featured in this year’s Art Basel Hong Kong collection on Samsung Art Store. What’s the meaning behind this work?
      My earlier iterations of “Ken” were all relatively small. This version is the first time I’ve painted him at a large scale — three meters across. I wanted the male figure in the painting to become the object of the gaze.
      Barbie’s boyfriend feels very characteristic of our current moment. He has had all roughness and resistance removed. He is handsome, healthy and radiant. But he is empty. Inside, he is just plastic. He exists only as Barbie’s counterpart. I did not want to paint him as a toy, but as a living, beautiful head. When pilgrimage is stripped of traditional faith, it begins to reflect a problem of modernity.

      “They were my companions in childhood, and they also carry the imprint of the time we live in.”

      Q. Many of your paintings begin with familiar objects, toys or images from everyday life. What draws you to those subjects, and what do they allow you to explore as an artist?
      I grew up in China in the 1990s, so I — and most people my age — did not have siblings. It was also a period of rapid economic change, shaped by reform and greater openness to global trade. My hometown, Wenzhou, is known for manufacturing.
      As a child, I often visited local factories owned by friends’ families. The assembly lines and showrooms were filled with toys, eyeglasses and such goods ready for export to markets around the world. At home, I spent a lot of time alone with my dolls while my parents were away.
      Later, when I was in college, I visited the city of Yiwu, known for its wholesale markets. I was struck by these small everyday objects — their shapes, materials, colors and textures all seemed to carry the atmosphere of a particular era. That experience led me to begin my “Man-Made Objects” series.
      In the modern world, objects have become increasingly short-lived. I feel attached to these fleeting things made on assembly lines. They were my companions in childhood, and they also carry the imprint of the time we live in.

      Q. What does painting allow you to do with these familiar objects that another medium might not?
      Much like the subjects of my work, paint itself is also a material object. In a sense, I use one object — paint — to represent another object through realism. What matters to me is the painting’s physical presence. That is the key difference between a painting and an image of a painting on a screen: the painting exists physically as a real, tangible object.
      I care deeply about the concept of painterliness, but I do not want my brushwork to be too expressive or too obvious. I do not want the texture to call attention to itself on the surface. I prefer to let it emerge quietly, in hidden and subtle places.

      Where Nostalgia Meets the Present
      “As a painter, I know painting is a very old medium. But as a younger artist, I am open to trying new languages and new tools.”
      Q. What first drew you to painting as your way of seeing and interpreting the world?
      I studied at an art school in Beijing, but painting had already been part of my life since childhood. Over time, through constant practice and repetition, I gradually developed my own artistic language.
      When I was little, I loved Shogo Hirata’s fairy tale books and would constantly copy the characters. I was also obsessed with “Sailor Moon” and drew its characters over and over again. I still remember one moment in kindergarten when I drew a princess for my classmates and cut small slits into her dress with scissors. When I held it up to the sunlight, the light came through and made the dress seem as if it were glowing. Everyone was delighted. I think that may have been the moment I realized how interesting drawing could be — and that I wanted to keep doing it.

      Q. Your paintings are incredibly precise, but they also leave room for ambiguity and feeling. How do you think about that balance as you work?
      Only when the choice of object, the coolness of the brushwork and the objectivity of the viewpoint are pushed to a very high degree of precision can ambiguity and emotion rise within the painting. Otherwise, it would simply be a depiction of an object, without meaning.
      ▲ “Ken” displayed on The Frame Pro as a part of the Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 Collection on Samsung Art Store.
      Q. How have you seen technology shape the way art is made, shared and experienced today — and where do you think that relationship is headed?
      New technologies are constantly reshaping the way art is made today. As a painter, I know painting is a very old medium. But as a younger artist, I am open to trying new languages and new tools. That does not necessarily mean bringing them directly into my paintings. Rather, they push me to reflect on what painting means at this moment — what I should paint next, and how I should paint it.

      From the Fair to Everyday Life
      Q. Samsung Art Store creates a different context for discovering and experiencing art at home. How do you think your work resonates differently on displays than it does in a gallery or museum?
      When my work is shown in a more private and intimate setting through a digital screen, it can take on a different feeling from the original painting. That shift is interesting to me because it allows people to encounter the work in everyday life, in a more personal way. On displays like The Frame, viewers can spend time with an image in their own space and notice details they might experience differently in a gallery or museum. At the same time, the original painting still has its own physical presence, so I hope people remain curious to see both. Right now, “Ken” is on view at the Long Museum in Shanghai.

      Q. What interested you in partnering with Samsung Art Store to bring your art into the home, and what do you hope viewers take away from that experience?
      I just hope my friends turn on their Samsung TV, see my giant “Ken” and get a little surprise!

    • By Samsung Newsroom
      At Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026, Europe’s largest display exhibition held in Barcelona this February, an installation at the Samsung Electronics booth captured visitors’ attention. Just 52 mm thick, the display shows objects rotating 360 degrees as if floating in midair — without 3D glasses.
      Spatial Signage, Samsung’s glasses-free 3D display, has earned industry recognition with awards at IFA 2025, CES 2026 and ISE 2026. Bringing the concept to life required close collaboration across display, research and design teams — each solving a different piece of the 3D puzzle.
      Samsung Newsroom spoke with experts across the company — Jong-Gu Sun and Yujin Nam from the Visual Display (VD) Business, Chang-Kun Lee from Samsung Research (SR) and Eun Vit Chung from the Corporate Design Office (CDO) — about the journey behind the innovation.
      ▲ Spatial Signage

      Redefining the 3D Visual Experience
      As demand grows for more distinctive visuals, the need for new display solutions is increasing. “We are seeing rising interest in visually striking content that captures attention, such as ultra-large LED-based anamorphic displays,” said Sun. “However, these installations typically require more space than traditional signage and dedicated 3D content.”
      “Spatial Signage delivers immersive 3D depth without glasses or bulky holographic boxes, enabling differentiated experiences across a wide range of environments,” he added. “It also reduces the cost of producing dedicated content while remaining compatible with existing signage systems.”
      ▲ Sun discusses how Spatial Signage brings immersive 3D experiences to life. Turning the concept into reality required a strong technological foundation. “While exploring new signage solutions, we discovered advanced display technology under development at Samsung Research and realized it could enable 3D signage for B2B environments,” said Chung. “From that point, close collaboration among SR, CDO and the VD Business advanced the technology and brought it to market.”

      Inside the Technology Behind Spatial Signage
      At the core of Spatial Signage is 3D plate technology. “The system combines a display with optical components to send separate images to each eye, applying the principle of binocular disparity so the brain perceives depth,” Lee explained. “A lenticular card — which shows different images depending on the viewing angle — is a common example of a 3D plate.”
      ▲ Principle of 3D plate technology “Spatial Signage uses a new method of rendering 3D images to address the limitations of conventional glasses-free 3D displays, such as reduced image quality and narrow viewing angles,” he added. “By presenting the main subject in high-resolution 2D while using a 3D plate to create depth in the background, it achieves both immersion and high image quality.”
      Building an ultra-large, 85-inch 3D display was no easy task. A 3D plate is made by combining lenticular lenses with printed images to produce 3D visuals — and once created, it cannot be adjusted.
      ▲ Lee highlights Samsung’s innovative technology behind the ultra-large, 85-inch 3D display. “If discrepancies between design specifications and the actual structure are not precisely accounted for, the background on screen can appear distorted,” said Lee. “To address this, we developed a special pattern to detect errors during lens production.” By combining this printed pattern with the lenticular lens, the team could quickly identify deviations and adjust printing conditions accordingly.
      Securing depth while maintaining a slim profile was another challenge. Spatial Signage uses a thin 3-4 mm 3D plate to create a box-like sense of space with a perceived depth of up to 500 mm, as if extending inside the screen. “Achieving depth with such thin optical materials made lens design and reliability testing difficult,” Nam explained. “Despite numerous unexpected obstacles, we explored a range of ideas and ultimately improved the product’s quality.”
      ▲ Nam shares how the team achieved a 3-4 mm thickness and 500 mm depth through numerous trials. The team also faced physical limitations. “With an ultra-large 3D plate, gravity can cause sagging, leading to blemishes or distortions, while vertical lenses can produce the moiré effect — a high-frequency, wave-like pattern,” said Nam. “We repeatedly encountered these technical constraints. It would not have been possible without close collaboration across teams.”
      ▲ (From left) Chang-Kun Lee and Eun Vit Chung
      Crafting Depth Through Design
      With the technology in place, the next step was to design an intuitive and immersive visual experience. “To maximize depth on the 85-inch screen, we refined the 3D plate imagery and developed guidelines for image processing that enhance elements such as perspective and shadows,” Chung emphasized. “It is the result of years of accumulated expertise and dedication.”
      As a result, the 3D plate features precisely calculated lines, surfaces and gradient backgrounds, while the foreground 2D content incorporates lighting, shadows and perspective aligned with the background’s depth. “This project felt like bringing virtual images from a 3D program into the real world,” said Chung. “I’ve grown attached to each visual element created through this process.”
      ▲ Chung explains how Spatial Signage reflects Samsung’s design expertise, from 3D plate image design to lighting and perspective. However, implementing the concept proved more complex than expected. “While typical design work can rely on a single image, Spatial Signage requires images to be divided into micrometer-level segments — thinner than a strand of human hair,” Chung explained. In other words, designers had to anticipate how those segments would come together. “It would have been impossible without a deep understanding of optics. By studying and applying those principles, we achieved the sense of depth seen today.”

      New Opportunities for B2B Displays
      Developed through close collaboration across teams, Spatial Signage goes beyond traditional displays and opens new possibilities in everyday environments. To increase its versatility in diverse retail settings, Samsung plans to expand its lineup past the current 85-inch model with 32-inch and 55-inch options later this year.
      ▲ Samsung VXT lets users create signage-ready videos. “Whenever I walk by a café with Spatial Signage, I notice people pausing to look at the display,” said Nam. “For cafés or franchises seeking a more engaging way to promote seasonal menus or events, it can offer a compelling alternative.”
      AI Studio,1 an AI-powered content creation app within Samsung Visual eXperience Transformation (VXT), lets users create signage-ready videos from a single product image. In addition to supporting standard digital signage, it offers an option to optimize content specifically for Spatial Signage — delivering a truly immersive experience on the 3D display.
      “In addition to retail, Spatial Signage is drawing strong interest from sectors including 3D audiovisual solutions for education in Europe, virtual personal training systems for major fitness chains and augmented reality waiting areas at theme parks in Korea,” said Sun. “Through innovative display solutions, we will continue to build a commercial display ecosystem that only Samsung can deliver.”
      ▲ Spatial Signage unlocks versatile, innovative display experiences. Ultimately, Spatial Signage is not just about making images appear in 3D — it is about creating more immediate, memorable and lifelike experiences in everyday spaces.
      Samsung VXT is sold separately, and solution availability varies by region. The AI Studio app will be available in April 2026 and may incur additional usage fees. ︎ View the full article

Its expansive screen accommodates multiple windows that can be displayed at once, allowing users to stay focused without constant switching. Because the display does the work of two monitors, it also eliminates the need for a dual setup, creating a cleaner and more streamlined workspace.
       
      Connecting multiple devices is effortless with the display. A built-in keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch lets users control two devices simultaneously with a single set of peripherals, while picture-by-picture (PBP) and picture-in-picture (PIP) features enhance multitasking capabilities.

      In PBP mode, users can connect a laptop and a smartphone to use each side of the monitor as a separate display. For example, users can keep a reference video open on the laptop while editing on ViewFinity S8 and browsing related articles. Switching inputs is simple with the built-in KVM switch, allowing everything to be managed from one place.
       
      The monitor also comes equipped with a USB-C port and a built-in LAN port. Offering 90W charging, simultaneous data transfer and Ethernet connectivity, it supports a more efficient and flexible workspace.

      Samsung Electronics also expanded the 37-inch monitor category into the gaming market, unveiling the new Odyssey G7 (G75F) at Gamescom 2025 — the world’s largest gaming event. The 37-inch Odyssey G7 combines 1000R curvature with 4K UHD resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms (GTG) response time to deliver an immersive large-screen gaming experience.
       
      By shaping the market across both work and play, Samsung is setting the standard for more convenient, versatile and impactful user experiences.
