Hisense designer announced his model KanvasTV with matte display for viewing digital canvases and photos in standby mode. Functionally the CanvasTV is similar to Samsung’s The Frame, but with similar features it’s significantly cheaper and thanks to its unobtrusive design, KanvasTV It can fit perfectly into the interior of the living room or bedroom.

The idea of ​​TV masquerading as pictures is not new. For example, Samsung has been producing The Frame model with a similar concept for several years. But CanvasTV’s starting price is a few hundred dollars lower. The 55-inch version will cost the buyer $ 999, and the 65-inch version will cost $ 1,299. For comparison, the 55-inch The Frame costs $1,499, while the 65-inch costs $1,999.

In terms of technical characteristics, CanvasTV is also not inferior to Samsung’s flagship model. It is equipped with a 4K matrix based on QLED technology and has an anti-glare screen coating. Also, the novelty supports a 144 Hz refresh rate, is equipped with a sensor for automatic brightness adjustment according to conditions, and also supports surround sound 2.0.2 reproduction.

in memory KanvasTV We have already installed numerous reproductions of painting masterpieces in various styles, from abstract art to Renaissance paintings. Of course, the user can download any photo or picture from his personal collection to the TV. At the same time, switching between modes of viewing works of art and photographs is carried out by pressing a single button on the remote control.

The new product also has a built-in motion sensor. As soon as everyone leaves the room, CanvasTV automatically turns off, saving electricity. The TV turns back on when someone enters the room.

It is worth noting that at the CES exhibition last year, the Hisense company showed a prototype of the frame TV of the M1 series. And recently the 55-inch Art TV R7 model was released in China, equipped with a removable stand. The launch of CanvasTV is therefore a logical development of Hisense’s “picture on TV” concept.

Other manufacturers are experimenting with a similar idea. For example, the latest model LG TVs have a Gallery Mode for viewing digital canvases, and many Smart TV manufacturers also install special programs with collections of images. But Hisense CanvasTV, which looks like an interior element when not working, is currently the best design offer for buyers in terms of price-quality ratio.

included in delivery KanvasTV It includes not only a wall mount but also a replaceable teak frame. You can optionally purchase additional frames in white or walnut. TV sales will begin in the summer of this year.
