For those wanting a TV that disappears into the decor when they’re not watching it, the CanvasTV turns into wall art displaying paintings, photographs, or other artwork.

Hisense’s new TV is just like Samsung’s Frame but costs a lot less

Hisense’s CanvasTV, a matte screen television designed to blend into your home decor as a piece of artwork when you’re not watching TV, is now available in a 65-inch model for $1,299.99. A smaller 55-inch version, expected to sell for $999, is still en route for later this summer.

First announced in May, the CanvasTV wraps a 4K, 144Hz QLED anti-glare screen in a wooden teak frame to give it the appearance of framed artwork. If that doesn’t match the decor of a room, walnut and all-white frames are also available but sold separately. An “Art Mode” cycles through a preloaded collection of paintings in Renaissance, modern, and abstract styles, but users can display their own art and photographs. When no one’s around to look, a motion sensor turns the CanvasTV off to conserve power.

It’s a similar sales pitch to Samsung’s The Frame, which also utilizes a matte finish and a customizable bezel to look more like artwork hanging on a wall. The appeal of Hisense’s CanvasTV is that the 65-inch version is about $700 cheaper than Samsung’s, while the 55-inch model will save you about $500.
