The Frame, 55-Inch

Art TV competition is coming from all sides as other makers catch up on this market. Hisense came in with an especially formidable competitor, and we awarded it in our Gadget Awards this year. That said, the Samsung Frame still has something special: a deal with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A man of luxury knows all about Van Goghs and Cézannes, and that’s what he wants to display. For now, Samsung is the brand that lets him do that.

For His Flights Out West

Lucchese Hand-Tooled Duffel
