Hisense is developing a sub-$1,000 product to replace Samsung's "The Frame".

Hisense has unveiled a display that integrates artwork that looks exactly like Samsung's "The Frame" into its U9N lineup of mini LED TVs scheduled for release in 2024.

Called "CanvasTV," Hisense's new product is a world of personalization that offers interchangeable frames and digital artwork, allowing users to customize their TVs to their liking from a wide selection of options.

But it's not all about art; CanvasTV also features an LCD panel with quantum dots, which means that it is a 4K QLED TV with incredible specs. With a native 144Hz refresh rate, a multi-channel 2.0.2 surround sound system, and a high-matte anti-glare panel, CanvasTV may prove to be one of the best TVs under $1,000.

Hisense's CanvasTV starts at just $999 for a 55-inch model, and even if Roku updates its OS and adds features like The Frame, it won't be a step behind Samsung.

Hisense is trying to bring the museum into your home with CanvasTV, but it won't lose the key qualities that make its displays so popular. Hisense has introduced some of the best TVs in the world, including the Hisense U8K ULED TV and the Hisense U6K, and CanvasTV could prove to be the same thing, a 4K QLED product with art as its star.

As its name suggests, it uses the so-called Art Mode to display on its canvas a variety of preloaded art in different styles, including modern, Renaissance, and abstract paintings, as well as famous masterpieces from around the world. The art mode has a dedicated button on the CanvasTV remote control that allows the user to instantly switch to Van Gogh's paintings when they have finished watching the Marvel movies in sequence.

To further the Art Deco personalization, CanvasTV will also offer interchangeable frames that can be easily connected with magnets. Choose freely from a variety of frame options, including walnut, white, and teak.

With its high-matte anti-glare panel, CanvasTV blends seamlessly into the wall and looks like a painting. It also uses an RGB sensor to seamlessly adapt to ambient light and optimize the picture quality to suit the specific environment, so it always looks like a museum.

And with a native refresh rate of 144 Hz using ALLM and VRR together, it could even join the ranks of the best gaming TVs. Multichannel 2.0.2 surround sound speakers round out CanvasTV's features, providing excellent sound quality despite its small size. And with Google TV as its main interface, there is no shortage of content.

CanvasTV will be available in only two sizes, 55" and 65", with an MSRP starting at $999; by the end of summer 2024, one can officially bring this museum home.
