The Art Mode on Samsung TV is pretty unique. It is available only on the Samsung Frame TV models. In the other models, the feature is named Ambient mode or Gallery mode. The Art Mode acts as a screensaver for Samsung Smart TVs. Art Mode gives you the impression of a painting hanging on a wall. It adjusts the ambient light and maintains the illusion. You can upload images to Samsung TV to set your favorite pictures as a screensaver through Art Mode. As the Art Mode is a new feature, Samsung keeps on adding new features and new art in the Art Store.
