Samsung will bring an NFT digital artwork hub to select 2022 models including The Frame and "Neo QLED" LCD TVs as well as the MicroLED TVs. It is an app that will be available as part of Samsung's redesigned Tizen home screen.

Samsung has partnered with Nifty Gateway which currently has over 6000 NFT artworks from over 400 artists.
