That looks like The Frame from Samsung. Does it have a matte surface? What version of Tizen is it running? Does it have API access?

This would be my dream tv. I like the matte look of the Frame a lot (I have one), but it's not at all worth the being subjected to the terrible Samsung software experience

The 2020 and 2021 versions of The Frame had direct API access for updating artwork. Newer versions apparently have access through cloud services, but I haven't tried it yet.

Hmmm maybe I'll try this, since I have a newer Frame (which I'd love to get rid of).

I don't like that anything would have to go through their services, but it would be fun to try!
