Framing a Frame TV blocks the sensors, so this company made a... sensor dongle.
Vergecast listeners know about my tortured relationship with my family’s new Samsung Frame TV, but easily the funniest thing is that using any third-party frame blocks the ambient light and motion sensors that make Art Mode convincing. So naturally there is a $99 aftermarket sensor dongle to make it all work... and it still doesn’t quite work, as Samsung won’t let it talk to the API that controls brightness in Art Mode. Whoops!
Redditors have solved this problem by building custom frames with fiber optic cables to trick the built-in sensor, by the way. All this for a middling panel that doesn’t even have local dimming!
