TVs can be a clunky disruption to your living room design, but these days, a gathering space would feel incomplete without one.

With a frame TV, you wouldn't have to compromise.

Cameron shares that frame TVs are an increasingly popular ask. Is this up-and-coming trend for you? Here's the pros and cons of investing in a frame TV.
