Art TV Resolution Guide

Why 4K Resolution is Essential

Art TVs like the Samsung Frame, Hisense Canvas, and similar displays require 4K resolution (3840×2160 pixels) for optimal image quality. Here's why:

• Native Display Resolution: Most art TVs display at 4K, so images must match this resolution for sharp, clear artwork
• Viewing Distance: Art TVs are often viewed up close, making resolution quality critical
• Detail Preservation: 4K resolution preserves fine details in artwork and photographs
• Professional Appearance: Lower resolutions look blurry and unprofessional on large displays

Standard Art TV Resolution

Required Resolution: 3840 × 2160 pixels (4K UHD)

This resolution provides:

• 8.3 megapixels of detail
• Perfect 16:9 aspect ratio
• Compatibility with all modern art TVs
• Future-proof for new models

Whether you're preparing images for Samsung Frame, Hisense Canvas, or other art TVs, 4K resolution is the standard.

What Happens with Lower Resolution?

Using images below 4K resolution on art TVs results in:

• Blurry Images: The TV must upscale lower resolution images, causing blurriness
• Pixelation: Individual pixels become visible, especially when viewed up close
• Loss of Detail: Fine details in artwork are lost or distorted
• Poor Quality: Images look unprofessional and detract from the art TV experience
