If you're in the market for a new UHD TV, listen up. If you've been looking for a great deal on an ultra-slim, frame-like TV for art and cool setups, also listen up. Why? Because right now Amazon is having a crazy deal on the Hisense 55-inch Class QLED 4K S7N CanvasTV — normally $1,000, it's only $698 right now or 30% off. Comparable TVs like Samsung's The Frame have rarely been this low, if ever — Samsung's 55-inch is currently $800. It's a great price, but most likely, you'll want to know more about the features.

The Hisense CanvasTV is a Google smart TV, with 4K and Dolby Vision support, a 144Hz refresh rate, an anti-glare coating, and a near flush mountable design. When you hang it on the wall, it blends in with other artwork, looking like a picture frame. There's even an art mode that allows you to display fine art with realistic painting details. That pairs well with the high matte design of the display to make it look like real canvas materials. It does have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet, with four HDMI ports, as well as a USB. In the box you get the teak frame, a wall bracket, and the usuals, like a remote control.

In addition to being more expensive, Samsung TVs don't even have a Google feature they could soon be adding, and have sorely needed for years, already available on Google smart TVs: Google Cast support. There are a few cheaper alternatives to Samsung's The Frame TV series, this Hisense being one of them, and with the current price, it's never looked better.

Is the TV worthwhile at its current price and what do people think about it? The Hisense CanvasTV was first unveiled as a direct competitor to Samsung's The Frame in 2024. The best way to figure out if it's worthy is to look over user reviews and comments, which Amazon makes easy enough. As of this writing, the Hisense CanvasTV 55-inch S7N has over 800 reviews with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. Those are pretty high marks, with 89% of those reviews four stars and above, and 78% sitting at five stars. People seem to really love this TV. But what are they actually saying?

The top comments praise it as being the "perfect art TV" without a premium cost, and mention that it offers "great art" and a high-quality, beautiful canvas-like experience. Multiple users have even put forth the idea that it's better than Samsung's The Frame series, or that it's certainly better than the "average TV" you can buy.

Though, to keep things objective, some of the negative reviews paint it in a different light. Some have voiced their frustrations, saying it was glitchy, couldn't handle popular apps like YouTube, or some of the features stopped working like audio cutting out intermittently. As with any electronic device, there are going to be defective or problematic units that aren't necessarily emblematic of the common experience. It's still something to keep in mind if you're focused on budget options.
