Samsung’s Frame TVs are extremely popular with our readers, and for a wide range of reasons. In addition to making whatever you’re watching look and sound fantastic, when the TV isn’t being used, it automatically displays famous works of art, or your favorite digital photos. The TV is designed to be hung on a wall and replicate a picture frame.
Thanks to the TV’s matte finish, you get a glare-free picture, but when artwork is displayed, the high-resolution digital reproductions now look more like real paintings than ever before, thanks to Pantone validation.

Samsung’s Neo QLED 2024 (QN90D) TVs are a step up from the QN85D models. The TVs take full advantage of mini-LEDs to boost brightness, while showcasing whatever you’re watching with a sharp picture and fluid motion, in part, thanks to the TV’s Neo Quantum HDR+ function.
The TV also supports Samsung’s Motion Xcelerator 144Hz feature, which works nicely when watching fast-action content or gaming to provide an extra-smooth picture with greater depth and automatic AI enhancements. So if you watch a lot of sports, take note.

The OLED display in these TVs showcase deep and dark blacks and bright and vivid whites, along with accurate colors that take advantage of OLED HDR+ to bring out every intricate detail of what’s being displayed.

(A subscription to a supported cloud-based gaming service is required.)
If you do plug a PlayStation, Switch or Xbox into the TV, you can expect a smooth gaming experience with the best possible visuals and sound.

Samsung Neo QLED 8K (QN800D)
Available sizes: 65-inch ($3,500), 75-inch ($4,500) or 85-inch ($6,000)
Samsung
It’s only been a few years since 4K resolution TVs went mainstream, but several popular TV brands, including Samsung, have already begun rolling out 8K resolution TVs. While there’s very little native 8K programming available, these TVs use powerful, AI-based upscaling to bring a 4K picture up to near 8K quality. The result is visually astounding. There’s only so much these TVs can upscale older, low resolution programming, however. So if you’re a fan of classic TV shows and old movies, 8K upscaling won’t help too much.
However, if you’re willing to pay for to be an early adopter and benefit from an incredibly sharp 8K resolution picture — the likes of which no 4K TV can replicate — we suggest one of Samsung’s 2024 8K models that use the latest QLED 8K displays to deliver what can only be described as a hyper-realistic picture.
Combined with realtime 8K upscaling, these TVs use a simultaneous AI-based motion enhancer to ensure all action looks smooth and fluid, with a tremendous level of depth and contrast. These TVs rely on Samsung’s NQ8 AI Gen2 processor, run using the Tizen operating system and feature a refresh rate that’s up to 165Hz.
Many of the 2024 Samsung TV models, including those that support 8K resolution, now include an upgraded version of the Tizen OS, which is easier to navigate. The new version of Tizen also offers some enhanced features that take better advantage of the TV’s latest technologies.
Samsung Neo QLED 8K (QN900D)
Available sizes: 65-inch($5,000), 75-inch ($6,300) or 85-inch ($8,000)
Samsung
Okay, so imagine a TV that offers all of the features, functions and cutting-edge technologies offered by the Samsung QLED 8K (QN800D) models and then boost it all up a notch. That’s what you get with these 2024 QN900D models.
Never before has such incredible detail and fluid action been available to consumers in a TV designed for in-home use. Whether you’re watching live sports or action movies, the quality is as good (if not better) than what you’d experience in a movie theater. And it’s all packed into a TV that has practically no bezel and that’s so thin, it’s barely noticeable when hanging on a wall.
Samsung’s Music Frame is the perfect companion
Samsung
To complement any Samsung TV, we recommend connecting one or two of Samsung’s just-announced Music Frame wireless speakers. These are high-end speakers are designed to look just like a picture frame. You can insert your favorite 8-x-8-inch printed photo.
When you use one speaker with any Samsung TV, you get robust, room-filling sound with Dolby Atmos support. It works in conjunction with your Samsung TV’s internal speakers. However, when you place a Music Frame on either side of a Samsung TV, you’ll experience rich, clear and great sounding stereo audio.
Music Frame is also a Bluetooth wireless speaker, so you can can stream music or any audio content sent from your smartphone, tablet or computer. It’s compatible with Samsung’s SmartThings mobile app.
Right now, you can preorder the Music Frame for $400 and receive an instant $50 credit good toward a future purchase from Samsung’s website.

Rep. Mike Turner says all “candidates need to deescalate” after Trump assassination attempts
Rep. Mike Turner, an Ohio Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, responded Sunday to Eric Trump’s implication that his father’s Democratic opponents were responsible for the attempts on former President Trump’s life, saying the innuendo was “of course” inaccurate but political candidates on both sides of the aisle “need to deescalate” their rhetoric.
“No, of course not,” Turner said in his latest appearance on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan,” after being asked whether he believes there was truth to claims made by the former president, his son Eric, and his vice presidential running mate, Sen. JD Vance, at a rally where each either implied or suggested Democrats tried to kill him.
Trump returned Saturday to Butler, Pennsylvania, to speak to supporters gathered at the Butler Farm Show fairgrounds, the site of the July 13 assassination attempt against him. A gunman facing Trump on the podium at that rally opened fire into the crowd, grazing Trump’s ear, killing one attendee and injuring two others, according to authorities. The gunman was killed by a Secret Service sniper, officials said.
Another apparent assassination attempt happened in September when a suspect pointed a gun in Trump’s direction on the Florida course where he was playing golf. The FBI has opened probes into both incidents.
CBS News
Trump, his son and Vance all acknowledged the assassination attempt in Butler at Saturday’s campaign event.
“Over the past eight years, those who want to stop us from achieving this future have slandered me impeached me indicted me tried to throw me off the ballot and, who knows, maybe even tried to kill me,” said the former president, while Eric Trump claimed his father’s political opponents “tried to kill him, and it’s because the Democratic party, they can’t do anything right.”
Vance, in his remarks, addressed Trump’s Democratic challenger in the presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris, and suggested that the Republican nominee “took a bullet for democracy.”
Brennan asked Turner: “You don’t mean to imply here anything that would suggest Eric Trump’s allegations that Democrats are trying to kill him?”
“No, of course not,” Turner responded. “But I do think that Vice President Harris needs to actively state and acknowledge that her administration is saying a foreign power, which would be an act of war, is actively trying to kill her opponent.”
The attempts on Trump’s life came after a citizen of Pakistan with ties to Iran was arrested and charged with allegedly planning a murder-for-hire scheme targeting Trump, among others. Although the timing of the charges coincided with the first attempt, there was no indication that the two incidents were related.
Turner criticized Harris for what he viewed as a failure to openly condemn the alleged plot.
“I think there’s certainly a role for her to play and for the president to play in this, in both identifying that there are threats against Donald Trump that need to be acknowledged and responded to, to deter,” he said. “I think all the candidates need to de-escalate, certainly in their language.”
But the congressman did acknowledge that a Biden-Harris Justice Department official, Matthew Olsen, the head of the national security division, said the U.S. government has been “intensely tracking Iranian lethal plotting efforts targeting former and current U.S. government officials — and that includes the former president.”
“I would say that we are very concerned — gravely concerned — about Iranian plotting,” Olsen told CBS News in a recent interview.
Hurricane Milton rapidly intensified into a Category 1 storm on Sunday, and it has set its path on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Forecasters predict Milton will make landfall around the Tampa Bay area on Wednesday, bringing with it upwards of 120 mph winds and drenching an area still reeling from Hurricane Helene.
As of 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, Milton was centered about 290 miles west-northwest of Progreso, Mexico, and about 815 miles west-southwest of Tampa. It had maximum sustained winds of nearly 80 mph and was inching north-northeast at 6 mph.
Path of Hurricane Milton
A map from the National Hurricane Center shows Milton continuing to strengthen into a major hurricane as it approaches Florida’s western coast.
“Milton is forecast to rapidly intensify during the next couple of days and become a major hurricane on Monday,” forecasters said.

The storm is expected to remain north of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, with heavy rainfall expected as Milton makes its way northeast toward Florida. Tropical storm watches are currently in effect from Celestun to Cancún, Mexico.

The hurricane center said hurricane and storm surge watches could be issued for parts of Florida later Sunday.
Florida officials prepare for more impact
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Sunday that while it remains to be seen just where Milton will strike, it’s clear that Florida is going to be hit hard. “I don’t think there’s any scenario where we don’t have major impacts at this point,” he said.
“You have time to prepare — all day today, all day Monday, probably all day Tuesday to be sure your hurricane preparedness plan is in place,” the governor said. “If you’re on that west coast of Florida, barrier islands, just assume you’ll be asked to leave.”

DeSantis expanded his state of emergency declaration Sunday to 51 counties and said Floridians should prepare for more power outages and disruptions, making sure they have a week’s worth of food and water and are ready to hit the road.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, meanwhile, coordinated with the governor and briefed President Biden Sunday on how it has staged lifesaving resources.
“I highly encourage you to evacuate” if you’re in an evacuation zone, said Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. “We are preparing … for the largest evacuation that we have seen, most likely since 2017, Hurricane Irma. “
As many as 4,000 National Guard troops are helping state crews to remove debris, DeSantis said.
“All available state assets … are being marshaled to help remove debris,” DeSantis said. “We’re going 24-7 … it’s all hands on deck.”
An American climber was rescued after she and another alpinist from the U.K. were stranded for two days at more than 20,000 feet in the Himalayan mountains.
Michelle Dvorak, 31, and Fay Manners, 37, went missing on Thursday after their equipment and food tumbled down a ravine while trekking up India’s Chaukhamba mountain, CBS News partner BBC reported.
The pair sent an emergency message but search and rescue teams were unable to find them.

Manners told the BBC they were “terrified” as they tried to make part of the descent down the treacherous mountains without supplies.
“I watched the bag tumble down the mountain and I immediately knew the consequence of what was to come,” she said. “We had none of our safety equipment left. No tent. No stove to melt snow for water. No warm clothes for the evening.”
The terrifying ordeal intensified when it started to snow. They took cover on a ledge while waiting for rescuers.
“I felt hypothermic, constantly shaking and with the lack of food my body was running out of energy to keep warm,” Manners said.
The rescue was made difficult because of the conditions, including bad weather, fog and high altitude.
“The helicopter flew passed again, couldn’t see us. We were destroyed,” Manners told the BBC.

On the second day, the pair began to cautiously abseil down the mountain. They spotted a team of French climbers coming toward them. Manners said they shared their equipment and food and contacted the helicopter company with an exact location.
“I cried with relief knowing we might survive,” she said.
The Indian Air Force said in a post on the X social media platform that their helicopter airlifted the climbers from 17,400 feet after “battling two days of bad weather.”
Chaukhamba is a mountain massif in the Garhwal Himalaya in northern India.
