The art is very cool to look at when when you pick the right piece with the correct matte. It really is difficult to tell that it's digital. Now that being said it doesn't look perfectly undetectable in all circumstance and if you get too close to it the light sensor will adapt for your shadow and dim the image, so yeah that's detectable. For everyday viewing and use of a living room it's magnificent. It's also kind of fun to fool people the first time they see it and think it's a large print or painting you've put on your wall. It does and will happen if you buy "The Frame".
