The next time you have friends over at your place, make them guess where the ~quality sound~ is coming from and see their reactions once they find out it’s coming from one of the frames on your wall.

Samsung 55’’ The Serif TV (P71,999)

Speaking of another Samsung gadget, if you’re getting the Music Frame, you might as well treat yourself to a brand-new television that also looks like an art piece. We totally get the hype: whether mounted on the wall or styled with the detachable floor stand, The Serif will stand out in any space. If you have a smaller space, get the 44” variant, but if you want to go all out, it has a 55” display perfect for streaming movies and shows or playing your favorite games. One of its best features is its matte display – no annoying reflections that get bothersome, especially if you’re somewhere with lots of natural lighting.
