Samsung doesn't want to blend in with the competitors, so that's exactly what they've designed their latest QLED TV's to do.

Last week at a media event in New York City, Samsung unveiled its 2018 collection of high-end QLED TVs: four different Ultra HD models (Q6F, Q7F, Q8C, Q9F) each available in various sizes, all of them shipping with virtual assistant Bixby and all extra Smart.

All come with a SmartThings dashboard that allows homeowners to adjust their lights, fridge settings, air conditioning … all from the screen, as long as they are SmartThings compatible.

These high-quality giant 4K HDR TV screens are no longer just big black squares staring at us over breakfast; now they can blend in or display art, with Samsung's new “Ambient Mode”.

A video demonstrates how the “Ambient Mode” can display your wall pattern onto the screen. Almost like hanging a piece of glass onto a brick wall, the TV can display the bricks on the screen and fit right in. To do this, you just need to take a photo of your TV and the surrounding wall, the set does the rest. No funky stone wall or wallpaper? Then chose from an image or artwork provided by the Samsung portfolio or upload your own. This feature is available on all the models.
