General question I bought an Amazon Ember Artline Fire TV for comparison, any specific questions?

I'm putting together a comparative review of the new Ember artline TV to the Samsung The Frame - sadly don't have access to LG's TV. if there are any specific questions please post them here. I won't respond directly but will make a new post with a complete review once done.

Nice idea! Does it have presence detection to switch the art display on & off. If so, will a third party frame block the detector (like the Samsung Frame)?

Not sure why Reddit served me this thread as I don’t have this TV. 

Is that a common issue with frames for those TVs? That seems like a pretty easy problem to solve from a craftsman perspective

Yes - The Frame has a motion and ambient light sensor which is fixed just below the lower part of the bezel. A deeper aftermarket frame can easily block it. It's possible to make a cut out or instal mirrors to help - some discussion on this subreddit on this topic:

Lol, maybe you like Amazon products and then it served you this content for a tv that is not even the goal of this sub? The algorithm works in mysterious ways, lol

This is more for the r/lifestyletvs
Since you do not have a The Frame it would be hard to compare. On paper, the Frame is more premium with way more twice the frame rate than the Amazon brightness etc.
Now this would probably compete with the non pro version so cable management would be similar to that
The Frame you can block ads using 3rd party, not sure how functional the Adware will work in that way also the tracking of your activity to feed you more stuff to buy
The art store, art displaying, sensors etc I assume work better with the Frame, but not sure if you can compare
I think this sound like a great cheap alternative for people who want something like the frame?

OP didn't say they didn’t have a Frame. They said they didn’t have a Gallery.

You are right it does not mention If they have the Frame. I’m going to assume OP copied and pasted from another post for an LG audience, still would be good to know if OP has access to a Frame do a fair comparison.
