The founder of DeviantArt is making a $22,000 display for digital art
Angelo Sotira started the online digital art platform DeviantArt when he was just a teenager, growing a formative community for millions of artists in the 2000s. Twenty-five years later, Sotira wants to change digital art again, but with a focus on the way it's displayed. On Thursday, Sotira revealed his new venture, Layer, a screen specifically designed to showcase digital art in the best quality possible. 'The way that the canvas needs to perform and behave in your life is quite different than other types of displays,' Sotira told TechCrunch. 'It needs to blend into beautiful environments.' The closest point of reference that the average consumer would have for a product like this is Samsung's The Frame TV, which looks like a painting hung on the wall when it's not turned on. But Layer takes that kind of feel to an even more premium level — unlike The Frame, Layer is not a consumer product, and it's not trying to emulate static paintings or photographs. 'They're $22,000, so that kind of tells you a lot about who that's for,' Sotira said. 'We spared no expense and we spared no effort. We made no compromise in producing what is actually, in our opinion, the very best way to display digital art on a wall.' Image Credits:Layer When Sotira talks about digital art, he isn't talking about digital photography or videos. Layer is working with hundreds of artists like Casey Reas, who makes generative AI art — no, not the kind of generative art you get from ChatGPT, which is created with LLMs that use other artists' work without their consent. Instead, many of these artists are writing their own software to create digital AI artworks that change over time according to what the code says. Techcrunch event Save now through June 4 for TechCrunch Sessions: AI Save $300 on your ticket to TC Sessions: AI—and get 50% off a second. Hear from leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, Khosla Ventures, and more during a full day of expert insights, hands-on workshops, and high-impact networking. These low-rate deals disappear when the doors open on June 5. Exhibit at TechCrunch Sessions: AI Secure your spot at TC Sessions: AI and show 1,200+ decision-makers what you've built — without the big spend. Available through May 9 or while tables last. Berkeley, CA | REGISTER NOW But these artworks, like most AI software, require a lot of computing power to execute. That's part of why Layer is so pricey — it needs the technological capacity to display these new kinds of works. 'You're looking at an over 35-year history of extraordinary artists developing the medium of code-based art and essentially, the pixels on the display are being governed by the code that's been written that runs live on that GPU, rendering it in full resolution,' Sotira said. 'It's actually controlling every pixel, so it's not going through any compression algorithms.' Sotira is well aware that he's not the first entrepreneur to try to create a better way to display digital art — when he was at DeviantArt, he was pitched on products like Layer all the time. But because of this, he knows what was missing from the products that were pitched to him in the past. 'One of the driving principles is that you can plug it in, turn it on, and leave it alone, and it should know how to sequence art for you,' he said. In his experience, he enjoys tinkering with these devices for a few weeks, but then it becomes tedious to continue updating the display, so he wanted his own canvas to be more self-sustaining. 'It's going to be on your wall for five years, so it has to play really, really well in your life.' Image Credits:Layer Layer seems like a highly expensive and very niche product, but some venture capitalists and entrepreneurs are betting on it. While in stealth, the startup raised $5.7 million in funding from Expa Ventures, Human Ventures, and Slauson & Co., plus angels like Twitter co-founder Evan Williams and Behance co-founder Scott Belsky. The company's ambitions extend beyond selling hardware to display art. With a Layer canvas, owners get subscription access to a collection of art from the digital artists that Layer partners with. Then, those artists are paid royalties based on the amount of time their works are on view. 'We put artists first, and that's kind of the core mission and philosophy of Layer,' Sotira said.

An Honest Review of the Samsung Frame TV 2025
If you're anything like me, aesthetics are very important to you. I enjoy looking at beautiful things, sue me! It's why I've put so much time, effort, and (my fiancé's) elbow grease into decorating my tiny NYC apartment, turning it from a glorified closet into my personal oasis over the years. It's also why I've had my eye on Samsung's The Frame TV for as long as I can remember (aka since it first came on the scene in 2017). The Frame is a TV designed to look like a piece of framed art hanging on a wall when not in use, and it has low-key changed the interior design space forevermore. It's basically a TV made for people who hate the look of TVs, blending seamlessly into whatever room it's in and displaying photos of art that look so real (thanks to an ambient light sensor), you wouldn't believe they were being broadcast on a screen. But it's also really good at being a TV, too, thanks to its high-quality display and smart features. I'll get into all of that and more below, because I did end up getting one of these babies after many years of waiting, and I'm reviewing it for you here so you can decide if you want to splurge on one too. Because yes, they do cost a pretty penny—about $750 and up, depending on the size you choose. Read on for my honest thoughts. This, my friends, is the true beauty of The Frame. The TV sits completely flush against the wall, thanks to the no-gap mount, and there's only one single (thin and transparent!) wire stemming from it (which I easily hid behind a plant), so it truly just looks like a piece of art hanging on a wall. (You can also conceal the cord behind the wall, but that's a lot more effort than I was willing to put out.) There are four different styles of bezels to choose from (white, teak, brown, and gold metal), which snap around the screen, further adding to the "frame" illusion. The screen itself is designed to resist any glare and mimic a canvas-like finish using subtle texture, so it doesn't come across as a screen at all, especially when Art Mode is on. There's also an ambient light sensor, which senses the light of the room and adjusts the screen brightness accordingly. I'm not normally one to be knocked off my feet by new technology, but I could immediately tell that this was a nice TV the second we turned it on. And honestly? We had a pretty damn good TV before (my fiancé takes his sports watching very seriously). But the picture quality on The Frame is unlike anything I've ever experienced before—it's just unbelievably crisp, and the colors are so vivid. I've since learned that's because it has 4K QLED resolution, which basically means it uses ultra-teeny little dots (also known as quantum dots) to produce a wide range of colors that regular LED TVs can't. Respect! No, really. The Samsung Art Store has over 3,000 art pieces to choose from, and it's constantly being refreshed with new works, often spotlighting different artists, photographers, and museums around the world. My fiancé leaves for work before me every day, and now he always changes the art to something new for me to see when I wake up. Sometimes it's some alarming abstract art, but most times it's a pretty painting of flowers or a snapshot from Slim Aarons (my favorite). No matter the size of your wall, there's a Frame TV for you. Models start as small as 32 inches and go as large as 85 inches, which is honestly massive. Once you go smart TV, it's hard to go back, so I was thrilled when I learned that The Frame is well-equipped with all the latest and greatest technology. Specs and stats tend to scramble my brain, so I won't bore you with all the techy details, but just know that it comes with pre-loaded streaming apps, built-in voice assistants, and can easily connect with other smart home devices. It also uses Samsung Vision AI to enhance the picture and sound quality of whatever you're watching. If you're shopping for your first TV or are on a tight budget, The Frame might not be for you. Depending on the size you're looking for, these bad boys can go for up to $4,000, which, of course, isn't chump change. But if you're looking for an upgrade, or are down to fork over a couple thou in the name of aesthetics, you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately, the bezels—which make The Frame look like, well, a framed piece of art—come at an additional cost. They'll set you back as little as $99.99 (for a 32-inch TV) or as much as $299.99 (for the gold metal bezel for the 85-inch TV). This extra investment can come as a surprise to a lot of buyers, so just keep it in mind when you're budgeting. If you want full access to the Samsung Art Store, you'll have to shell out $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year, which is a small sum, but adds up. That said, you do get access to 370+ free pieces annually, so you definitely don't need to subscribe if you'd rather save some dough. The Frame isn't cheap, and I get that. It can be hard to justify paying the price of rent for a TV. But if you (a) love beautiful things, (b) spend a good chunk of your life watching shows and movies, and (c) have been debating taking the plunge on this fine piece of tech for a while now, I say go for it. Samsung's Frame TV really does what it says it does, and, in my opinion, lives up to all the hype. I admire it every time we're bingeing a show, and seeing fresh art on my way to work every morning is the best way to start my day. Don't blame me if your bank account gets drained as a result of your purchase, but dear reader, you deserve nice things. You really do.

Samsung's The Frame TVs just went on sale for the first time in months
Whether you ask our editors or readers, they'll tell you Samsung's The Frame TV is as beloved of a home theater fixture as can be. These unique TVs live up to their name with a picture-frame-inspired design, and now that perfect balance of form and function is down to some of the best prices ever. Nearly the entire lineup of sizes, ranging from 43 inches up to massive 85-inch televisions, is on sale courtesy of Amazon and Best 43-Inch The Frame TV One of the smallest versions of The Frame is dropping to within $30 of the all-time low price. It's the second-best offer that I have tracked on this 43-inch model, which is the perfect size to set up in your bedroom or office. Read our review Samsung 50-Inch The Frame TV The ever-popular Frame TV is one of the best TVs because of its unique design. This edition is thinner and even more discreet on the wall, with a matte display to help cut down on our review Samsung 55-Inch The Frame TV Take 20% off the 55-inch version of this hybrid television and digital picture frame. This model packs the same 120Hz refresh rate and smart streaming features as the rest of the lineup. Read our review Samsung 65-Inch The Frame TV Samsung's The Frame TV doubles as an art display and is a perennial favorite at Underscored. The 65-inch version is one of the bestselling sizes from the lineup. We love it for movie nights, at-home tailgates and its whimsical art mode. Read our review Samsung 75-Inch The Frame TV Stepping up to the second-largest size earns you an even better deal. This model packs all the same form and function as the others but with a 75-inch matte display and 33% in savings. Samsung 85-Inch The Frame TV Samsung's largest The Frame TV is also down to its lowest price at a whopping $1,800 off. This is an extra $500 under the previous discount from back in January and only the second time it has dropped under $3,000. Samsung's The Frame isn't your average TV. The lack of black plastic bezels should be the first sign. These different models all trade in that classic design for a far more streamlined appearance that is designed to look more like a framed picture or artwork on your wall than a home theater centerpiece. Each one comes with a different screen size, but all feature 4K HDR QLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates. So, while you can take full advantage of the fun art features that beam gallery-quality paintings and drawings into your living room, it can also serve as a perfect option for movie night, football Sundays and daily viewing. These features give you a home theater upgrade that still looks the part but also blends into your home decor when not in use. Other notable features include AirPlay 2 support for those with an iPhone or MacBook, as well as four HDMI ports for plugging in your own devices. There's also onboard smart streaming technology for watching your favorite series. Today's deals on The Frame TVs apply to the previous-generation models. Earlier this year at CES 2025, our editors took a closer look at the newest versions alongside the higher-end Pro edition. The biggest adjustments are the newfound 144Hz refresh rate panels and NQ4 AI Gen3 Processors, two additions that won't make that much of a difference for most movie-watchers. My colleagues have yet to put the latest versions to the test, but based on specifications and first impressions, this year's incremental upgrades shouldn't move the needle. I'd still recommend these discounted models. It's not every day that Amazon and Best Buy markdown one of our favorite home theater centerpieces. The Frame TVs from Samsung have only been on sale once before this year, and that was back in January. Today's discounts offer the second-best prices of the year and a rare chance to save on nearly the whole collection of screen sizes. TVs are also one of the products that may suffer the most from tariffs. As the situation unfolds in the coming months, price increases are expected to go live for any consumer electronics imported from overseas. If you've been thinking about giving your home theater an upgrade with a new television, now may very well be the time to buy. Quite simply, our goal is to save you money. As senior deals editor, Rikka Altland hasbeen doing it for nearly a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our deals team. Being an advocate for buyers to make sure we're only recommending the best prices on the best products is what we're all about.
