While Samsung prepares to launch a new, likely expensive version of The Frame later this year, a compelling alternative is available now at a historic discount. The 55-inch Hisense CanvasTV has reached a new record-low price of $599.99, a $400 savings available at major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. This positions it as one of the most affordable art-inspired TVs currently on the market.
This 4K QLED model features a slim design and a matte anti-glare display that effectively mimics artwork when not in use for entertainment. While Samsung’s offering may achieve a slightly more realistic look, the Hisense CanvasTV comes remarkably close, presenting images that resemble physical prints rather than typical screen content. A significant advantage is the included magnetic bezel, which installs easily to create the appearance of a framed picture. Samsung typically charges extra for this accessory. Hisense also provides complimentary access to a library of over 1,000 artworks spanning abstract, modern, and Renaissance styles, featuring renowned pieces from artists like Van Gogh and Monet.
Beyond its aesthetic function, this is a fully capable television. It operates on the Google TV platform, which many users find more intuitive to navigate than Samsung’s Tizen OS, and supports all major streaming applications. For enhanced picture quality, it supports Dolby Vision for brighter, more detailed content. A variable refresh rate up to 144Hz ensures smoother motion during fast-paced sports, and this high refresh rate also makes it a strong option for gaming. Hisense supports this with two HDMI 2.1 ports and AMD FreeSync Premium technology to minimize screen tearing. With built-in support for Chromecast, Apple AirPlay, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa, users can easily stream content from mobile devices or control the TV using voice commands.
