Samsung's Frame TV pioneered the art-inspired television market several years ago, and now the trend is gaining momentum.

Joining the fray are other contenders such as Hisense's CanvasTV and LG's Posé and Easel models, all aiming to blend television with home decor seamlessly. While third-party accessories like the Leon Studio Frame have emerged for existing TVs, integrated solutions remained scarce until recently.

If you like TCL's paper-like display but prefer to have a Windows machine over an Android tablet, TCL also introduced the TCL Book X2 Go. This Surface Book-esque 2-in-1 machine comes with a detachable keyboard and runs on Windows 11. As mentioned, its 12.2-inch screen has TCL's blue light filtering NXTPAPER display. This improved textured screen now gets a backlight while offering 61 percent blue light filtering and an anti-glare coating. It supports TCL's stylus, which you can get as an option when you buy this laptop hybrid.

The TCL BOOK X23 Go runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen2 processor with 4GB or 8GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB of storage, and a 30wh battery with up to 14 hours of battery life. It also gets a 5-megapixel webcam and an 8-megapixel rear camera. This 2-in-1 device will be available "later this year," but TCL hasn't shared pricing and availability yet.
