I wonder if using a color e-ink display would make the art look more appealing on a wall.

Here's someone who put in a lot of effort into making a realistic-looking photo frame using an LCD: https://www.claybavor.com/blog/a-canvas-made-of-pixels

A little white balance work would go a long way I suspect. An OLED panel would really make things pop, but the burn-in issue might be a problem unless you had it rotating very regularly.
It probably will! I actually looked into buying a color e-ink display, but ended up using a The Frame instead for a couple of reasons:

* They are incredibly expensive if you want ~32"

* I wasn't sure that it would've worked together with the Nvidia Xavier NX.

How is the samsung frame? I am thinking of getting one..
I think you're trading of the design for a bit of quality, you'll probably get more bang for the buck if you buy a non-designer smart TV. That being said, it's still a good TV!
wow first time I heard of this beast. https://www.samsung.com/us/tvs/the-frame/highlights/ looks incredible thanks for sharing.
I've had the same thought, but alas. Prices are terrible.
