TCL NXTFRAME TV turns our television into a work of art
Can be displayed in three ways
Samsung’s The Frame popularized the television set as an actual piece of furniture. However, because of your budget or just a preference for other brands, Samsung might not be in your list of options, despite how sleek The Frame looks. Now, TCL has a new option for you — the TCL NXTFRAME TV A300 series.
Touted as a “beautiful piece of art hanging on your wall,” the NXTFRAME TV features an ultra-slim form factor with a set of mounting options. First of all, the set comes with the magnetic “Dawn birch” frame. Users can easily detach the frame based on their preference.
With the frame either on or off, users can choose between three mounting options. Seamless Wall Mount turns the set into frame that users can hang on any wall. Meanwhile, Adjustable Cabinet Stand lets users sit the TV on a surface, much like a common set. Finally, Movable Floor Stand uses an easel (sold separately) to stand the TV anywhere.
The NXTFRAME TV comes with a unique AI image generator which can use up to 1,000 keywords to generate art users can put up when the TV is not in use. Alternatively, users can also choose between the world’s most famous masterpieces to keep their living room fresh.
As for what’s under the hood, the NXTFRAME TV comes with a QLED Pro display with 144Hz VRR for maximum color accuracy. It also pairs well with the Bang & Olufsen 3.1.2CH Ultra-Slim Wireless Soundbar for more immersive sound.
The new set is currently on display at the Ronac Art Museum until October 31.
Price and availability update as of October 24
The TCL NXTFRAME TV will come in two models: A300W and A300 Pro. The A300W retails for PhP 89,990. Meanwhile, the A300 Pro, which comes with the Bang & Olufsen 3.1.2CH Ultra-Slim Wireless Soundbar, retails for PhP 110,000. The moveable stand is sold separately.

Gift ideas that feel intentional and considered
The best gifts aren’t impulse buys nor extravagant. This year’s holiday gift guide is about giving with intention. Each pick was chosen not as a novelty, but as something that adds value to your loved ones’ lives. They support routines, encourage rest, create shared moments, elevate everyday comforts, and provide peace of mind. These are the kind of gifts that feel considered, personal, and truly meant for the person receiving them.
Peace of mind, wherever the day goes

Having an extra bag when you didn’t know you need one can remove a surprising amount of stress and unnecessary expenses.

It’s reliable, flexible, and quietly reassuring to have on hand.

With flower bouquets, bonsais, and plants to choose from, it’s a satisfying project that brings a sense of completion without the upkeep of real plants. As an added bonus, if you can build it together it turns the gift into a shared memory, so every time they see the finished piece, they’re reminded of the time you spent creating it together.
Small joys, big upgrades
