Along with its new TVs, ultra short throw laser projectors, and soundbars — most of which were totally predictable enhancements of existing products — Samsung brought something truly different to CES 2024: the Samsung Music Frame, a Dolby Atmos-capable wireless speaker that doubles as an old-fashioned printed photo frame. The Music Frame (or HW-LS60D if you want to use its official model designation) clearly owes a lot to Samsung’s popular The Frame TV, which can display any digital art of your choice when you’re not using it as an actual TV. But unlike the TV, the Music Frame doesn’t make…

Two cameras at the top of the display track your…
