While looking at your non-fungible tokens from a laptop or smartphone is fine, why not remind anyone who visits your house of the digital art NFTs you have spent by showing them on your TV? Somehow we’re in a world where that’s about to become reality: Samsung says it’s planning extensive support for NFTs beginning with its 2022 TV lineup.
” With the increasing demand for NFTs, the need to find a solution for today’s fragmented purchasing and viewing landscapes has never been greater,” the company stated in a press release. “In 2022, Samsung is introducing the world’s first TV screen-based NFT explorer and marketplace aggregator, a groundbreaking platform that lets you browse, purchase, and display your favorite art — all in one place.”

More details on the NFT platform should be made available as the 2022 TVs start shipping in the coming months. Today’s announcement means that Samsung is now the first major TV manufacturer in supporting NFTs in such a large way. Is this the beginning of a new trend? Are we witnessing the emergence of a new trend? Is it possible that your next Roku, Amazon Fire TV or other device will also have NFT integration?
