Samsung’s releasing a new version of The Frame sometime this year, though the exact date is still unknown and, based on past models, it’s likely to be pricey. If you’d rather not wait or want to save some cash, the 55-inch Hisense CanvasTV has hit a new low price of $599.99 ($400 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, making it one of the more affordable ways to get an art-inspired TV.
The 4K QLED TV features a slim design and a matte, anti-glare display that disguises itself as artwork when you’re not watching movies. Samsung’s The Frame ultimately looks more realistic, but Hisense gets close enough that images resemble actual prints instead of something from a screen. It also includes a magnetic bezel in the box that’s easy to install and makes the TV look more like a framed piece of art, which is something Samsung typically charges extra for. On top of that, Hisense gives you free access to over 1,000 artworks featuring abstract, modern, and Renaissance styles, with famous pieces by artists such as Van Gogh and Monet.
The Hisense is also a capable TV. It runs Google TV, which is more intuitive to navigate than Samsung’s Tizen OS, and supports all the major streaming apps, including Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max. It also supports Dolby Vision so content looks brighter and more detailed, and offers a variable refresh rate up to 144Hz for smoother motion when you’re watching fast-paced sports games. That high refresh rate also makes the TV good for gaming, especially with Hisense including two HDMI 2.1 ports and AMD FreeSync Premium, which helps minimize screen tearing. And with support for Chromecast, Apple AirPlay, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa, it’s easy to stream content from your phone or control the TV with your voice.
