Partner content: This media room is part bohemian, modernist and grounded by rich, luscious colour. But where, oh where, could one place the TV without destroying this interior mood? Samsung’s new QLED TV might just have the answer.

The art of blending in

In any well-curated interior, a blank television screen can often be perceived as something of a black hole: a shadowy rectangle subtracting style from its surrounds and suctioning attention from the design details that truly matter within a room. The recently launched Samsung Q7 QLED TV addresses just such a conundrum. The QLED TV’s Ambient Mode function allows the idle TV screen to mimic the wall it hangs on. Cloak of invisibility, instant camouflage, chameleon-like… call it what you wish… its effect in any interior is truly inspirational.

Freedom of movement

The Q7 QLED TV also boasts the One Connect Box: a stylish, thin box into which you can connect all your compatible devices away from the actual TV set. Gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, speakers and much more can all be placed near a power supply while all their data is seamlessly transferred from the One Connect Box to the TV through a single, ultra-thin, nearly transparent cable: a tidy solution that does away with the unsightly mess of cables. And, to make things even more seamless, the minimalist and very smart One Remote Control manages all those devices connected through the One Connect Box effortlessly and elegantly.
