Customer Ratings & Reviews

This framed TV is a great idea when you want the convenience of a TV but are putting it in a room where you don't want it to look techy. One such room would be the living room where the vibe is both subdued and palatial with soaring ceilings and a massive window. The usual flat panel TV will look out of place, stick out too far from the wall, and be only viewable at night due to glare from the window. The Hisense S7 Canvas TV actually looks like a canvas because of the matte finished display. What's great about it is the fact that it can display art on a rolling loop when you don't want a frame of black nothingness. I wanted something that would fit my wall and not look out of place. I chose a 50-inch model because of its unobtrusive look on the wall just above the sofa. The included mounting bracket and powerful magnets really ensured I would get a tight fit up against the wall. The bracket was wide enough to drill the outer screws into studs while the inner screws used the included anchors. The cord wouldn't sit flat in the channel behind the tv; a ruler helped slide that into place. The frame is metal with a teak finish and attaches using powerful magnets together with corner clips to ensure they stay snug. The only thing alluding to technology while displaying art is the slight protrusion of the sensor tab at the bottom, and the white cord coming down the wall. Once Wi-Fi was connected, signing in with my google account was easy. I played around with the video settings and art display until I had everything the best I could for proper viewing of both online programming and art. For the art profile, using very low backlight settings combined with the matte screen, gives a better sense of realism to the paintings, especially during the day. I was impressed with how well the screen dealt with sunlit environments producing no discernable glare. Paintings looked true to life, not just from 10ft away, but close up the way you would typically look at it in a museum, the 4k QLED screen brings out the minutest detail with zero pixelation, including the fine cracks you would expect to see from a centuries old canvas. As a Smart TV, it functions with the speed and quality you would expect from any dedicated tv. The quantum dot matrix and crisp edge lighting produce vivid video with truer blacks minimizing noise and distortion. I suspect the only thing better would be an OLED screen. Google Freeplay negates the need for an HD antenna to get your local channels. The built-in processor is quick enough that you won't need to buy third party dongles. Set up the included Apple Airplay and use your iPhone to control media. The only negative I've found was very slight glare in the evening when a table lamp produces some fuzziness in the lower corners of the screen. Paintings at night don't look as realistic as during the day. This Canvas TV is a great, inexpensive, fine art capable display that won't disappoint.

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.

I was excited to see the 50” version of this TV is now available and at a budget friendly price. I have the larger version in the family room, and I was looking for the perfect TV to fit the bedroom. When escaping the everyday mayhem, relaxing in a quiet spot reading, watching a sporting event, polishing your gaming skills, or just catching up on your favorite TV show, this TV doesn’t disappoint. With 2 people, at 29lbs., the TV is easy to mount. It comes with a flush wall mount, foot stand, or like mine you can opt for VESA mounting. Once mounted the setup process is smooth. A few questions and you’re ready to watch. Immediately I noticed how fast the app response was. I took this as a good sign that the gaming experience would be great. It handled the games perfectly. The refresh rate of 144Hz really stood out when watching sports. There is no lag or blur. The sound quality is very good. The large art selection is well done. Shortly after setting it up, it was updated to included even more landscape art. You can select your favorites to cycle through. It’s the art where the matte screen shines. There’s no glare and the colors really pop. You can set a quiet time so it won’t disturb you at night. I loaded a lot of family pictures and videos to a USB drive, and they really popped. It handled most common formats. You could also upload pictures direct from your phone. While most of what we watch is streaming, the antenna reception is important. Using a basic window mount antenna, I was able to clearly receive stations up to 40 miles away without an antenna amplifier. This is a well-designed TV performing way above my expectations.

This seems so obvious- a device that has long been an essential part of the home should probably look like an essential part of the decor. (Yes, back when the tube TV started it was a device in a piece of furniture). As far as I know, no manufacturer has really made an attempt. Instead the TV has long been a "look at me!" part of the home. The Hisense Class S7 Canvas Series television changes that. With four simple physical design elements, the TV looks much more at home. 1. A simple decorative frame. I chose the light wood-look (it's aluminum, but convincing). It matches most of the picture frames I use in my Living Room. Nice 2. Integrated wall mounting components in the box (at least for the 50") giving it a picture-like tight mounting to the wall. Also nice: some wire management built-in. 3. A matte finish. When the TV is off, it looks something like a chalkboard, but not an empty frame, nor TV. When it's on the picture is still crisp, but gives a slightly softer look. If you're running it in Gallery mode, its' near-perfect in the rendering of the original images from paintings to photographs. 4. The Gallery button on the remote. Super easy to access and almost a default when not watching TV. There's some labor involved in mounting the frame and wall-mount components. I'd say it took my non-professional self around 30 minutes to get it right. Not bad though. Digital set-up was one of the best experiences I've had. Turning it on, connecting to WiFi or Ethernet, software update, setting preferences...pretty smooth. The OS for the TV is GoogleTV. It provides access to a wide range of apps and TV "channels" as well as providing free access to world-renown artworks on the Gallery. Additionally, you can upload your own favorite photos and images. Special features include an Ai skill to balance colors based on the room's colors and lighting levels. Also, there's a motion detector and Quite Hours and Night Mode settings. I didn't delve into those much, but they seem helpful in making this part of your life, but not the dominant device. This being a Smart TV, of course you can connect external devices such as computers, game consoles and your phone for play and screen casting. This is also pretty simple via the slim, elegant silver remote. Google Home, AirPlay and HomeKit all work with the Canvas Series. I'm using the device in my office for now, and it's a lovely addition for showing my professional photos and architectural images. But I really love it so much that it might go home withe me one day!

The Hisense Class S7 CanvasTV QLED Google TV is art by day, and a TV whenever you feel like it! It is essentially a matte-screen TV with an ultra-thin profile designed to mount flush to the wall, fitted with frame moldings to make it appear like fine art. There aren't many canvas-style TVs on the market, and I’m particularly excited that Hisense made a 50” model for 2026. In my opinion, it is the perfect size for an art piece—acting as a great television without overtaking the subtle setting where art belongs. Pair that with a company known for bringing value and quality to the market, and you have a winning combination. Installation: Easy and Tricky Installation of the TV is both easy and tricky at the same time. The mounting bracket is incredibly slim and keeps the TV a mere 3mm from the wall. The difficulty arises when you try to center the mount to your liking and your wall studs are "off." My studs were off-center, so I had to improvise; the provided anchors only work for masonry or concrete and will not work for drywall. If you opt to use a backer board to better center the TV, it will push the unit further from the wall, ruining the flush picture-frame effect. Tip: Make sure the mount is perfectly straight and level from the start, because you won’t have a chance to adjust it after the fact. The TV simply hooks onto the mount at two points. This design allows you to tilt the TV up from the bottom to manage any post-wiring peripherals. For wiring, I installed a media box with power outlets hidden directly behind the TV to achieve that true picture-frame look. Once the magnetic frame moldings are snapped into place, it doesn’t look like a TV at all. Picture Quality and Sound When viewed as a TV, it’s quite impressive. Streaming content looks incredibly vibrant thanks to the QLED technology, and once calibrated, it becomes a high-quality television for any room. I used RTINGS to calibrate my settings, and I’m very pleased with the final picture quality. (It's worth noting that I do this to all my TVs to keep the picture settings consistent around the house). For an edge-lit backlight, the black levels are very good. Watching 4K HDR content is highly enjoyable, as the CanvasTV supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Out-of-the-box audio plays through four speakers: two down-firing and two up-firing. Those upward drivers reflect sound off the ceiling to provide a fuller, more immersive soundstage. The only thing lacking is a subwoofer, but that isn’t why we’re buying a TV like this, right? Art Mode: The Real Showstopper We’re buying this TV because we want art first, and a TV second. We want it to justify putting a screen in places where they usually shouldn't go—like a dining room, which is where mine ended up. And boy, did it work on so many levels. First, Hisense provides a free, built-in Art Mode that truly transforms the display. Hisense engineers found a way to adjust the picture settings so the image genuinely appears like a real canvas print. It detects changes in ambient light to adjust the brightness dynamically, keeping the image as realistic as possible. Even when viewed up close, it is hard to notice any backlight bleeding through. Curation: Art is automatically curated and can be set to a timed carousel so images cycle to your liking. Details: Painting information can be overlaid on the screen. Efficiency: To conserve power, a built-in motion sensor puts the TV to sleep if no movement is detected for a set duration. Scheduling: If you don’t want the CanvasTV glowing all night, you can set "Quiet Hours" to force the TV into sleep mode until morning. The Verdict Before this TV was installed, my dining room was a ghost town. For years, every member of my family ended up eating meals around the TV in the family room. But now that there is a beautiful "painting" in the dining room, we’ve actually been using the dining table to enjoy meals together while watching TV! The CanvasTV isn’t an eyesore, and it never feels out of place. If you are considering a display like this, it completely opens up the doors for where you can place a TV while staying entirely incognito. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful TV that looks great on your wall. Very slim mount that is included, with a frame too. It has an expansive library of free art to display when the TV is not in use, some with calming scenes with soft background sounds...make the room feel warm. The most impressive part of this purchase is the remote control. Its designed extremely well, heavy duty and sharp looking. The keys glow when you pick it up, so you can see in total darkness. Finally, quality of picture and sound is excellent.

Most of us are used to seeing big TVs in throughout our living areas. When not in use, they’re essentially black mirrors. The Hisense Canvas TV (like other similar “canvas” or “frame” TVs) convert these black mirrors into home decor. It turns an otherwise utilitarian object into a round the clock focus of home decor by displaying artwork. IN THE BOX In the box you will find the TV, the magnetic frames, feet (if you want to place it on a table/stand), remote, power cord, and ultraslim mount. SETUP/INSTALLATION Setup is like most TVs. Now, it has VESA mounting threads, so you can use most any wall mount to affix it to the wall, but it also comes with an ultra slim mount to get it flush against the wall. This mount allows you to get the TV flush against the wall feeding into the sense that your TV is a piece of artwork. We put it on our old wall mount because of the setup of our house, and it was a breeze. We quickly affixed the bracket to the TV and hung it on the wall. From there, the magnetic frames easily attach to the TV itself. The instructions tell you NOT to install the magnetic frames and move the TV; attach them after the TV is on the wall. Includes are little black angled clips that secure the frame together at the joints. Honestly, these are probably unnecessary as I found the frame to hold up just fine. And it was real simple to get them align properly. A really nice addition is the cable management system on the back of the TV. The power cord is thin and with no power “brick.” It fits nicely in the channel behind the TV to completely conceal it. This includes little clips (included in the bag along with the remote and the instructions) that keeps the power cord against the TV. There appears to be enough room in the channels for another HDMI cable, but I didn’t personally test it. It’s obvious, but keep in mind that in order to completely conceal any cables, you will need a power outlet (and/or hole to run other cables) right behind the TV - and the outlet will need to be recessed. If you already have that type of setup, you’re all good, otherwise, it might complicate your setup (at least as it pertains to hiding all the cables and using the ultraslim mount. CANVAS/ART Admittedly, I’ve had my eye on a canvas or frame TV for some time. I liked the idea of turning a TV into functional art. But I wasn’t sure how they’d work and granted, I can’t compare it to other brands like Samsung. But I can say that Hisense gives you access to over 1,000 famous paintings and photographs to display when not using your TV - for free. This is a big boon, because I guarantee you I personally would not pay to display art (I already have enough subscriptions). The TV has motion sensors which will detect when you’re in the room to help save power. The screen is what Hisense calls a “Hi-Matte” display. My impressions are that it’s not reflective like glass, or like your standard flat screen TV. Don’t get me wrong, when the screen is off, there’s still a bit of reflection, but when the art is being displayed and even in a sunny room, there’s no reflections on the artwork to really give the look of a painting. It’s actually pretty incredible. Just looking at it from across the room it really does look like a painting or textured canvas. SCREEN QUALITY/SPECS This TV is full 4K at 50 inches. It’s a an LED display that is edge lit. It uses “Hi-QLED” color. It is able to produce over a billion shades of color that really allows digital paintings to look so realistic. These produce intense colors that gives a better picture in the brightest of rooms - where some TVs’ displays get washed out. It really creates bright and vivid pictures and enhances all your favorite shows and movies. The biggest downside of the TV is the edge lit display and dark scenes. If you’ve ever watched an OLED, which produce deep blacks, you will notice a faint light on the edge of the screen in dark scenes. By no means is it a deal breaker, and some might not even notice it, but it’s a limitation in the image quality that pales in comparison to OLED and other screen technologies in certain dark scenes. The refresh rate is only 60 hz on this model while the larger screen sizes have 144 hz. This really only matters to anyone that might play Xbox or PS5 (which takes advantage of the higher refresh rate). In has no effect in my mind to watching TV and movies. SMART FEATURES As someone who has Google TVs and/or Fire sticks plugged into my TVs, I really appreciate the built in Google TV. Now, I’m a big user of Google so it fits seamlessly into my smart home setup. But the TV and remote has all the features of a Google TV device and it works extremely well - including dedicated Netflix, Disney+ buttons on the remote - and a microphone so you can dictate directions. The setup as a Google TV was relatively quick and easy. I was able to quickly download and access all my apps and everything loaded really quickly. CONCLUSION This is a lifestyle TV insomuch as your’re buying it as home decor. It doesn’t have the deepest blacks or high refresh rate as other models, but for the price, it’s the best way to get a high-tech display that looks great as artwork when you’re not watching TV.

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!

The sound on this TV is amazing. It sounds far better than my Yamaha Surround Sound w/subwoofer we have for our other TV. We have this mounted in a room with almost floor to ceiling windows, and there is never glare or “hard to see” areas. I was unsure of the Hisense brand, but I am very sure my next TV will also be a Hisense. The Google interface is far superior to the Roku interfaces on my previous TVs.

I wanted a TV that blends in with my decore. This TV is perfect. I love the display of artwork/photos when not in TV mode. It’s nice and slim, sits very close to the wall, and the picture is crisp and clear. It’s helped to make my livingroom feel cozy while adding a bit of class.

Great picture and the look of it is awesome on the wall

Great tv. i love the art mode, and love that it does not require a subscription and you can also use your own photos. Great picture for regular tv too.

I am glad that I chose the Hisense rather than the Samsung frame TV. It's higher quality and I love that the pictures are available without having to subscribe overall great product

Bought this mainly for the canvas like art display but yes it is a tv too lol. I do not know how this compares to the original 2024 canvas tv but it is very nice!

The picture quality is better than I thought. All the free, downloadable art images look amazing. I definitely recommend buying this TV if you are looking for a framed TV.

This tv is amazing. We put this on our kitchen and the framed look and ultra slim mount worked perfectly in the space. Highly recommend!

Nice picture and great value for the price. I've really enjoyed my Hisense product and would definitely recommend it.

Great TV, good alternative to Samsung Frame as it does not need the remote box. Great picture quality, art choices and available connectivity. Love the design and quality, one improvement would be more frame color choice availability. Could not be happier with the purchase.

Great, cheaper option for a frame TV. It does take awhile to connect to the internet. Otherwise, we are enjoying our new TV! Wonderful picture quality!

Love this canvas tv. Looks great, Mount that it came with makes it really flush to the wall. Great art options. Got this primarily for the art look of the tv and to occasionally watch shows on it
