From what I could tell in a very limited demo, the Music Frame was surprisingly loud and clear.
Of course, youll have to pay a pretty penny for that display.

How Does the Music Frame and TV Frame Connect to Your Smart Home?
The Q Symphony system essentially synchronizes audio from a TV and soundbar at the same time.

This could be a Samsung-brand soundbar plus a Music Frame or two Music Frames at once.
Beyond all that, the Music Frame certainly feels like a first-gen product.
There will be only one size available to start.
The frame itself is 12.9 by 12.9 inches, and it sticks out 1.7 inches from the wall.
But for $399, its still going to be a hard sell.
