With the Ember Artline, Amazon is launching a TV model that aims to be more than just a screen in the living room. The focus is on display, selection, and impact in the room.
The Ember Artline serves as a more affordable alternative to Samsung’s The Frame. Instead of just showing broadcasts, movies, or other content, the device can also display art in standby mode. Amazon is thus offering a TV that switches between entertainment and decorative display depending on the situation.
Selection with Many Artworks and Personal Photos
A matte 4K-QLED panel is installed. When the TV is not in use, the screen transforms into a digital canvas. According to Amazon, over 2,000 artworks are included at no extra cost. Displays can feature works from Impressionists like Monet as well as modern street art. There are also exclusive video artworks. Those who prefer to see personal content on the TV can use Amazon Photos to display their own photos. Personal slideshows can also be started via a voice command.
Amazon also highlights the “Match the room” feature. The room is scanned with a smartphone, and the system then suggests suitable art. This selection takes into account colors, style, and furnishings. In this way, the display is better suited to the respective environment. The Ember Artline is thus intended not only as a device for content playback but also as a display that is oriented to the room.
New Feature Also in the Fire TV System
Additionally, Amazon mentions changes to Fire TV. In the future, content will be able to be moved between different devices using Alexa. In initial demos, this works almost without delay. At present, however, this only applies to Prime Video. With the Ember Artline, Amazon combines several functions in one device: TV, digital gallery, and new possibilities within the Fire TV system.
