Amazon Unveils Ember Artline TV, A Lifestyle Display That Challenges Samsung's The Frame
At this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Amazon has officially revealed its latest creation: the Ember Artline TV. As its name suggests, this is a lifestyle television designed to showcase art and aesthetic appeal, directly competing with Samsung's popular The Frame series.
The 4K QLED screen of the Ember Artline TV measures an astonishing 1.5 inches in thickness, making it extremely thin and versatile for placement anywhere. Additionally, the matte finish on the screen has been specifically designed to minimize glare while effectively displaying art and photographs.
What sets this TV apart is its seamless integration with Amazon Photos, allowing users to access over 2,000 pieces of free art to display, creating a unique visual experience in any room. Furthermore, the Ember Artline is equipped with proprietary technology that automatically turns on or off based on occupancy, ensuring minimal power consumption when not in use.
In terms of smart features, this TV comes loaded with Amazon's Alexa+ assistant, which can be conversational and even analyzes room aesthetics to recommend art for display. The presence of far-field microphones enables users to interact naturally with the AI-powered assistant without any additional setup or equipment.
While no release date has been announced yet, pricing is available: starting at $899 for its 55-inch version. For those eager to get a closer look, Team Engadget will continue to provide in-depth coverage of the latest product announcements and demos during CES 2026.

. The fact that it comes with over 2k pieces of free art is pretty cool, but it's also just an excuse to buy more stuff, right? 
. Plus, Alexa+ assistant is always a plus (or minus, depending on who you ask).

i mean, a 1.5 inch thick tv that's basically a piece of art? thats like the future right now lol. i can see how it would be perfect for living rooms or offices where you wanna display some sick artwork. and amazon photos is like the icing on the cake, they got over 2k pieces of free art to use? talk about a game changer.
and it's crazy how much progress has been made. from lcd to qled, its like night and day. and now with alexa+ built-in, it feels like you're living in a sci-fi movie 
.
. still, i gotta give credit to amazon for innovating something this cool.
A TV that's all about art & aesthetics? Sounds like my perfect living room vibe. The fact that it comes with preloaded art pics is genius, I can already imagine how beautiful it'll look in my apartment 
And the auto power-saving feature is a major win for those of us trying to be more eco-friendly 
Can't wait to see this thing in person and try out Alexa+! 
it's like they took samsung's frame and took it to the next level. that 1.5 inch thickness is insane, i mean who wouldn't want a thin tv that can fit anywhere? 
i mean, who needs a tv when you can display art on your wall? and the tech behind it sounds amazing - occupancy sensing, Alexa+... what more could u want? pricing is a bit steep tho $899 for the 55inch version is a lot of cash but if it's gonna look that good idc 
!! plus, alexa+ is integrated so seamless 
and the auto power on/off feature? genius 
can't wait to see what other cool features come with it! 
. Can't wait to see how it stacks up against Samsung's The Frame in terms of display quality and overall user experience 
. I've seen similar features in other TVs without breaking the bank, let alone at this price point. Can we just stick with good old-fashioned picture quality for once? 
And what's up with the thin design? Is that really something to brag about? It feels like they're more focused on aesthetics than actual functionality... 
. But hey, if you're willing to invest in a piece of tech that doubles as a work of art, I say go for it 
. Plus, the power-saving feature is super cool – who doesn't love saving energy and reducing their carbon footprint? 
️ plus, alexa+ assistant sounds like a total lifesaver for anyone who wants to control their smart home without all the hassle 
I need this TV in my life ASAP!
