Hisense - 50" Class S7 Canvas Series Smart Google TV 4K QLED Smart Google TV with Hi-Matte Display and UltraSlim Wall Mount (2026)

Great pick for a 50”. Great picture quality and it really is thin. Does look like you’re hanging artwork on your wall.

Looks like a picture frame and uses very little energy. Has a great picture and very slim on the wall

my second one of these TV's. One in my LR over my fireplace and the other in my master bedroom. Very easy to hang (I did it myself), sleek and sits flush to the wall. I had the inverted plug boxes installed so it literally looks like a piece of art hanging on the wall in art mode.

The Hisense Canvas TV is quite an innovation. The TV functions of course as a very nice regular TV set with a great picture which is enhanced with 4K ultra HD resolution and it can utilize a built-in AI 4K upscaler. The resulting functionality as a ‘normal’ TV is excellent. I was also impressed with the sound technology that provides a beautiful surround sound effect that is very obviously a cut above. Wireless capabilities include WiFi 6 which is a step up over WiFi 5 for faster speeds – great. This review will concentrate on the unique specifications that allow this TV to turn into a piece of artwork on your wall. The starting point is the wall mount. The very special wall mount does have a very ingenious design to allow the unit to lay flat against a wall – just as if it was a framed piece of art. You are supplied with hardware and directions to mount on various types of walls e.g. concrete block or wood studs. However, for the 50” version which I have, the mount does not accommodate “24” on center wall studs. Ideally you want to drive lag screws through the wall mount into two studs and avoid one side being held only via an anchor in sheetrock. Exterior walls are commonly 16” on center but nowadays interior walls are frequently 24” on center. I’d suggest the wall mount be redesigned to accommodate up to 24” on center walls. Notwithstanding the less than ideal dimensions of the wall mount bracket, the wall mount design is very smart such that you can hang the TV to allow it to sit perfectly flat. In addition, the TV comes with a 4-piece metal frame that is held on via magnets to make the screen look just like a mounted piece of gallery art. Here’s where Hisense has really gone far beyond in providing a great and creative design point in that you are provided with a gallery of images from landscapes to still-life’s and more. When you are done watching TV broadcasts, you turn off the TV, and it turns itself on as framed art. The art can keep changing like a sequenced presentation. Also, the TV will sense when you enter or leave a room and start or stop the art displays. Press the remote on/off button and the TV does completely turn off and press again, and you start your normal broadcast TV. A giant tip of the cap to Hisense engineers for such great audio/video specs and also with the ‘Canvas TV’ innovation I had never seen before, and I do love. You do have a unique backlit remote with a special ‘artwork’ button. Also, Hisense has provided technology to reduce glare and provide a ‘Hi-Matte Display’ to ensure the artwork is even more realistic. I highly recommend this unique and innovative product.

This is literally a gorgeous TV! The teak-wood colored frame and the 50” size makes the Hisense Class S7 look like the perfect piece of art on my wall. The frame matches the paneling so well, it’s like Hisense designed it with my space in mind. It was easy to attach to the TV magnetically, though the clips included for extra security were a little more difficult to install. The instructions for assembling and mounting the included wall mount could have been written clearer, but once together, it was easy to hang the TV. I suggest connecting any necessary cords to the TV prior to hanging because it is an ultra-flush mount and snug to the wall. The TV is very slim and not heavy, but it’s a good idea to use two people to mount it because the magnets that hold it in place are very strong. Hisense’s ULED technology makes the colors vibrant and black levels even, but the matte display is what makes the TV more pleasing to view and less straining on the eyes. And even with the matte display, gaming still looks and feels great on it with the 144Hz refresh rate. The selection of artwork and scenes available to display looks stunning. The unit has good sound quality but has all the necessary ports to connect external devices if you choose. It has 4 HDMI ports, one being eARC, 2 USB-A, and an optical digital. The remote connects via Bluetooth and has voice command. There are a number of apps already on the TV, but it’s easy to add additional apps using the Google platform. Though the Class S7 Canvas doesn’t have top of the line display qualities, it is more than adequate for comfortable viewing and gaming. And the style design and artwork displays make it a total conversation piece and a unique centerpiece for the wall, all without breaking the bank!
