Samsung’s 2024 Frame TV is finally here
Samsung
The all-new, 2024 edition of Samsung’s mega-popular Frame TV is finally available, and you can order it online right now from Samsung, Amazon or Best Buy. This smart TV continues to be a top pick among the CBS Essentials readers and with good reason. After all, an already feature-packed television set just got better.
Grab the 2024 edition of Samsung’s Frame TV and benefit from all of its exciting features, including a matte finish, which greatly reduces glare; the ability to showcase a broader selection of artwork; and, for the first time, Pantone validation for color accuracy. This makes art and whatever you’re watching look even more realistic.
The Frame QLED 4K smart TV comes in six sizes — 43 inches ($1,000), 50 inches ($1,300), 55 inches ($1,500), 65 inches ($2,000), 75 inches ($3,000) and 85 inches ($4,300). When ordering, make sure you select model LS03D, which is the 2024 version. The 2023 versions (LS03C) are still available (and currently being discounted on Samsung’s website), but these models lack the newest features.
Is the 2024 Samsung Frame TV worth it?
In a word, yes. For the first time, all sizes of the Frame TV are now Pantone validated. On-screen art looks even more authentic and like an actual painting — just as the artist intended. You’ll see more detail and more accurate colors than ever before.
Even better: Samsung is offering a curated selection of 20 art pieces each month that Frame owners can display for free. But if you subscribe to Samsung’s Art Store ($5.99 per month), you’ll get access to more than 2,500 artworks from world-renowned museums and galleries.
The TV is also more energy efficient. Thanks to a dynamic refresh rate, you use less electricity when you’re viewing art. (When you’re watching video content, the TV’s regular refresh rate is 120Hz.) This works in conjunction with a motion sensor, which turns off the TV when nobody is in the room.
Everything we love about the Frame TV (see our full review of the 2023 edition) is still on offer in this updated 2024 version. You’ll enjoy a 100% color volume that takes full advantage of Samsung’s Quantum Processor 4K. TV shows, movies, sports or whatever you’re watching all showcase stunning, bright and accurate colors. The matte finish of the display virtually eliminates unwanted glare.
And thanks to the Frame’s broad viewing angle, no matter where you’re sitting, you’ll have a clear view. As always, you can buy an optional, magnetically attachable bezel to make the Frame TV look like it’s in a traditional picture frame. You can choose a bezel design (between $200 and $300 each) that matches the decor of any room. A company called Deco TV Frames
Samsung’s Music Frame is the perfect companion to the Frame TV
Samsung
To complement the new edition of the Frame TV, we recommend Samsung’s just-released Music Frame wireless speakers. These are high-end speakers designed to look just like a picture frame. In fact, they are picture frames; you can insert your favorite 8 x 8 inch printed photo in each frame. The Music Frame can then by hung on a wall or placed on any flat surface using the included stand.
When you use one speaker with the Frame TV, you get robust, room-filling sound with Dolby Atmos support. It works in conjunction with your Samsung TV’s internal speakers. But put a Music Frame on either side of the Frame TV (or any Samsung TV for that matter), and you’ll experience rich, clear, stereo sound.
For a limited time, when you purchase two or more Music Frames, you’ll receive $50 off each of them, starting with the second speaker (but only if you purchase them from Samsung’s website).

Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela, known affectionately to fans across the baseball world as “El Toro” has died at 63 years old.
The Etchohauquila, Sonora, Mexico native recently stepped away from his role in the Dodgers’ broadcast booth to focus on his health just ahead of the team’s run to the World Series. He had planned to return for the 2025 season.

The man behind “Fernandomania,” which took Los Angeles by storm during the 1980s, spent 11 of his 17 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Boys in Blue, leading the team to two World Series titles in 1981 and 1988.
He was well-known for his signature windup and high leg kick before dazzling hitters with his virtually unhittable screwball. Upon retirement, he ranked amongst the franchises top 10 all-time in wins, strikeouts, innings pitched, games started, complete games and shutouts.
The Dodgers honored Valenzuela in 2023 by retiring his No. 34, making him only the 11th Dodger to achieve the spot above the left field bleachers.
Late Tuesday evening the team took to X to acknowledge Valenzuela’s death.
“Fernandomania por siempre,” said a photo. “Fernandomania forever.”

DELPHI, Ind. (CBS) — Jurors in the Delphi, Indiana murders trial got a closer look Tuesday at some of the most concrete evidence in the case.
Richard Allen, 52, is facing four counts of murder in connection with the murders of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty “Libby” German, 14, in 2017.
Video taken from Libby’s phone right before the murder shows a man, believed to be the killer, walking on a bridge. For the first time Tuesday, jurors got to see a longer version of the video.
A digital forensic analyst also testified about how he got the data off the phone.
Also Tuesday, lead crime scene investigator Brian Olehy brought several key pieces of evidence from at or near the crime scene to court—though they were not shown to the jury, according to CBS affiliate WTTV in Indianapolis.
During cross-examination, defense attorney Brad Rozzi asked several times whether swabs from the crime scene contained any DNA linking Allen to it, WTTV reported, Olehy said he was not aware of any such connection.
Olehy also testified that he believed the branches found on the girls’ bodies were placed there to conceal them, and said it was a “logical assumption” that Libby was “disrobed”—as she was wearing some of Abby’s clothes, WTTV reported. He said investigators could not determine the sequence of events, and did not test the sticks that were found with the bodies, the station reported.
There was also testimony about a single unspent bullet at the scene that is at the center of the case against Allen, the station reported.
Testimony was also heard from Railly Voorhies, who was a 16-year-old high school student who happened to be walking near the Freedom Bridge in Delphi and saw an “unsettling” man who glared at her, WTTV reported. She said the image of the man on the bridge documented in Libby’s phone was the man she saw, the station reported.
Another witness, Betys Blair, also testified that she saw the man on the bridge, WTTV reported.
