a new affordable option for art and technology lovers; design inspired by Samsung The Frame

The Chinese company Hisense launches CanvasTV on the market, a product that seems to be heavily inspired by The Frame TV concept from Samsung. Recently announced, CanvasTV aims to become the focal point of attraction in living rooms, turning the TV into a work of art through its matte screen.

CanvasTV uses a 4K QLED screen with a variable refresh rate of 144Hz, and a matte finish that can create the impression that you are not watching a TV, but a real painting. The screen’s brightness and color temperature can be adjusted to match the room’s ambience, and a motion sensor automatically turns off the TV when no one is in the room. It also includes a “Art Mode”which offers a select collection of artwork to display when the TV is not in active use.

Also aimed at gamers, Hisense has equipped CanvasTV with ALLM and VRR technologies, a compatible 2.0.2 channel audio system Dolby Atmos, and comes with a teak wood frame, with replacement options in white or walnut that can be mounted to the TV body via magnetic mechanisms. Moreover, the TV is equipped with the wall bracket UltraSlimwhich allows it to be mounted almost flush with the wall, a reminiscent feature also from Samsung.

In addition to hardware, CanvasTV runs Google TV, which means it includes Chromecast built-in and access to more apps, unlike Samsung’s The Frame TV, which uses Tizen OS. Hisense CanvasTV will be available in 55-inch and 65-inch sizeswith a starting price of 999 dollarsbeing $100 cheaper than the Samsung model.
