If you’ve been thinking about giving your living room, family room or bedroom a quick and easy makeover, one of the easiest things you can do is hang one of Samsung’s latest Frame smart TVs on your wall, select your favorite works of art and let the TV showcase that art whenever you’re not watching your favorite shows or movies.
Here’s what you can save on each size of the Frame TV right now at Best Buy:
Similar savings is also being offered directly from Samsung on most sizes of the Frame. 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.
Between the design of the Frame TV itself and the incredibly realistic way it’s able to display famous works of art (so each looks like a real painting), it’s easy to decorate and personalize your living space. You get the ability to choose artwork to match a room’s color scheme, your mood or a genre preference.
Since it’s less than one inch thick, when hung on a wall, the Frame TV looks like a traditional picture frame. This means you no longer have to look at a black rectangle when you’re not watching TV. And of course, whenever you want to watch live TV or stream content from any of your favorite video streaming services, whatever you watch will look and sound fantastic.
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. Everything we love about the Frame TV (see our full review of the 2023 edition) is still on offer in this updated 2024 version.
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.

An actor who played a street-brawling newsman in the movie “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” and a pizzeria owner in the television series “Bob’s Burgers” pleaded guilty on Monday to interfering with police officers trying to protect the U.S. Capitol from a mob’s attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
Jay Johnston, 55, of Los Angeles, faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison after pleading guilty to civil disorder, a felony. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols is scheduled to sentence Johnston on Oct. 7.
Johnston’s attorney, Stanley Woodward, told his client not to comment to reporters as they left the courtroom.
Johnston, who was arrested last June, is one of more than 1,400 people charged with federal crimes stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The FBI alleges that video footage captured Johnston pushing against police and helping rioters who attacked officers guarding an entrance to the Capitol in a tunnel on the Lower West Terrace, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. Johnston held a stolen police shield over his head and passed it to other rioters during the attack on Jan. 6, 2021, the affidavit says.

Johnston “was close to the entrance to the tunnel, turned back and signaled for other rioters to come towards the entrance,” the agent wrote.
Video allegedly shows Johnston, wearing a green camouflage neck gaiter and a dark leather jacket, “participated with other rioters in a group assault on the officers,” prosecutors said, and later “joined other rioters in pushing repeatedly against the defending police officers.”
“The rioters coordinated the timing of the pushes by yelling ‘Heave! Ho!'” prosecutors wrote, while posting more than a dozen screen grabs of video from the incident.
Johnston was the voice of the character Jimmy Pesto on Fox’s “Bob’s Burgers.” The Daily Beast reported in 2021 that Johnston was “banned” from the animated show after the Capitol attack.
Johnston appeared on “Mr. Show with Bob and David,” an HBO sketch comedy series that starred Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. His credits also include small parts on the television show “Arrested Development” and in the movie “Anchorman,” starring Will Ferrell.
A Chicago native, Johnston started his comedy career by doing improv at The Second City and Annoyance Theater in Chicago before moving to Los Angeles, CBS Chicago reported.
Three current or former associates of Johnston identified him as a riot suspect from photos that the FBI published online, according to the agent. The FBI said one of those associates provided investigators with a text message in which Johnston acknowledged being at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“The news has presented it as an attack. It actually wasn’t. Thought it kind of turned into that. It was a mess. Got maced and tear gassed and I found it quite untastic,” Johnston wrote, according to the FBI.
The Justice Department has prosecuted more than 1,200 criminal cases in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol assault. Of those, more than 700 have pleaded guilty to various charges, and scores more have been convicted.
Last month, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a former Pennsylvania police officer who was charged with obstructing an official proceeding after he entered the U.S. Capitol building during the riot, and narrowed the Justice Department’s use of a federal obstruction statute leveled against scores of people who breached the building. The decision could affect the ongoing prosecutions of nearly 250 defendants charged with obstruction for their participation in the Jan. 6 assault.
The government has recovered only a fraction of the court-ordered restitution payments for repairs, police injuries and cleanup of the damage caused by the rioters, according to a review by CBS News. Former President Donald Trump has publicly pledged to pardon Jan. 6 defendants but hasn’t specified whether he would also seek to commute their restitution payments.

Agents with the Transportation Security Administration screened more than 3 million passengers at U.S. airports on Sunday, a record number underscoring the popularity of air travel this year.
Exactly 3,013,413 flight passengers stepped through TSA checkpoints, surpassing the previous record of 2.99 million set on June 23. Sunday was a one-day record, but TSA officials said 2024 has been a historic year all around. Nine of the 10 busiest days in TSA history have happened this year, starting on May 25 when agents screened roughly 2.9 million travelers.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement Monday that TSA agents, in “an extraordinary achievement,” effectively checked-in 35 passengers and their luggage every second during an intensely busy weekend.
Flight fares dip slightly
One reason TSA experienced the record volume might be flight prices, which had dipped slightly during the holiday weekend.
The average cost of a domestic plane ticket during the July 4th weekend was $315, down from $347 a week prior, according to price tracker Hopper. The average flight fare this summer is $305 compared with $324 last summer and $313 in 2018 — before the pandemic. Flight tickets were 2% cheaper during the holiday compared with Independence Day fares in 2023, according to AAA.
The TSA was created in November 2011 after the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. The agency replaced a collection of private security companies hired by airlines to do passenger screenings.
