Samsung’s artistic The Frame TV is currently on sale for $649

[ad_1] As always, The Frame’s appeal revolves around a painting-like design whose zero-gap wall mount, customizable appearance and always-on Art Mode help it feel more at home against your wall. While the 43-inch screen makes this better for apartments and bedrooms than suburban living rooms, it otherwise ticks many of the checkboxes for a modern […]

TiVo’s leaked Edge DVR touts Dolby HDR and Atmos audio

[ad_1] There would be a CableCARD-equipped version with six tuners and 2TB of space, but there would also be two OTA-focused models with different tuner and storage levels.

Netflix has shipped 5 billion discs

[ad_1] There’s no doubt that the physical media side of Netflix is small by this stage.

It is, however, still a money maker. […]

Netflix thriller ‘Clickbait’ will explore the dark side of social networks

Who are you and why are you leaving old TVs on porches in Virginia?

[ad_1] Now that the televisions have been rounded up and “TV Santa Claus,” as the neighbors so cleverly dubbed the prankster, has been deemed harmless, we have a few questions — ten, actually.
