A New King of Art TVs? Hisense CanvasTV vs. Samsung The Frame 2024

[@Enderblaze14]

When The Frame costs several hundred dollars more out the gate (sometimes almost twice as much depending on size and sale pricing) plus ANOTHER 200 dollars for a bezel, plus a monthly subscription for artwork on top of that, I think it’s worth being more forgiving on the decrease in picture quality the CanvasTV has. If you want the antiglare coating and framed look and don’t care about anything else it’s hard to justify the Samsung now. Will you guys be doing a comparison with the TCL NxtFrame tv as well?

[@SuperMyacc]

If Canvas was more calibrated then okay this would be valid reasoning, but being so off in color negates the whole purpose of displaying art

[@omc951]

Samsung Frame routinely has promos with the bezel included and you choose your colour. It is almost always on sale as well. Review didn’t mention the capabilities of the sensor. The Frame has colour balance correction so the pictures look natural. Also you can thousands of pictures on Etsy for like $10 that are already formatted. And Samsung gives 10 pictures a month for free and changes every month. This is a lifestyle product that is not based mostly around picture quality but quality features. I don’t think they went deep enough and I’m disliking their definitive statements at the ends of reviews. It never used to be like that before.

[@BrandonEht]

​@@SuperMyaccThe problem with Hisense is that there's a lot more inconsistency with their panels. You might get one that needs little to no calibration or you might get one that's way off. They're still making really good stuff for not a lot of money

[@chazz1515]

I bought a 43 inch 2022 frame to hang vertically in a room to use only as a rotating poster frame, and something that is a serious issue is that while the motion detection to turn on and off the tv after the room it is in has been empty for a while works great, when i put on the bezel, it severely limited its ability to detect motion and turn itself on and off accordingly. I think its a super neat TV that works perfectly for my unique purposes but one of the selling points was the screen being able to turn on and off and the fact that the bezel ruins that is extremely disappointing. Just wanted to share in case anyone else was curious.

[@dgillies5420]

Can you drill a pinhole in the bezel?

[@trolleymctrollsen]

You can make your own in Canva and just upload it to Frame, or buy wallpapers from Etsy. Having a separate One Connect box is the difference, if you’re like me where you have 2 consoles, an Apple TV and soundbar connected, connecting it from a box means you don’t have to unmount the TV just to add remove an hdmi source. Having it at the back like the canvas means the hole you’d have to punch through the wall for the cable pass through will be on the right. Samsung has it dead center and it helps centering the TV. Small details like these makes the Samsung win by thoughtful design.

[@roco9504]

Should’ve waited until the TCL frame to have a video of the 3 🤔 i hope it’s better then even these 2. But time to watch the video that was just my initial impression

[@RINGOVII]

Sorry but this review is missing a lot of things… what about hanging on the wall, what about portait mode (vertical) for the Hisense? I mean can you hang the tv vertically and does the picture rotate? What about all the passpartout at Hisense? Can you show the pictures without? Would be nice if you can answer the simple questions which are I think for a lot of people, who are buying a tv like this for having art at home, more important than just the technical specifications

[@PraveenThomas-l6e]

Would you be doing the Panasonic w95a review?

[@bee-anca236]

are you going to do one comparing the tcl nxtframe tv?

[@wilsonbrugal]

Hi Team, what about the TCL NXT Frame?

[@vladiesc]

Very curious of a TCL NxtFrame review!

[@mikamulperi]

And nxtframe pro

[@vladiesc]

Review is already out, not looking too good! Went ahead and bought The Frame 2024

[@doomsephiroth]

​@@vladiescCan you give an update on how The Frame works out for you?

[@vladiesc]

​@@doomsephirothvery satisfied to be honest. I was worried that the peak brightness might suffer in terms of HDR but for a slightly darker room it's more than sufficient, actually quite bright that I turned the brightness down. For the rest, not a big fan of Rozen but I can live with it.

[@andiman45]

@@mikamulperi Pricey, but tempting the wait...do you know when its coming out?

[@TheSteOli]

Im thinking on hiding the one connect box of the frame behind the TV itself inside the wal, but I am a bit conerned if the heat from the box will properly dissipate Whats your experience on this _

[@leokartikrajkumar9109]

Pls pls someone help Should I wait for the 2025 version or should I buy a 2024 frame? I'm spending 💰 big, cuz Im buying a 65" Pls suggest

[@cd2ogz1]

I'm definitely waiting for the 2025 model.. Samsung will fix most of their customers concerns, thanks to more affordable options from Hisense and TCL. This is why competition is needed .. its keep companies like Sammy in check and on their toes, plus it drives down prices while giving us more features. (aka Bang for Buck!). The customers win in the end.

[@leokartikrajkumar9109]

@cd2ogz1 I bought 2024 model. It's nice. But seeing Sammy Launching Q1XD Neo QLED entry variant, I believe Sammy will launch Neo QLED Frame. But I also guess that it won't be launched in India. Let's see. But new budget NEO QLEDs is the next Sammy thing

[@alchymista2]

finally a very useful review packed with tests and even updates on lthe longevity! thank you! If the colors are off so much, can you calibrate it with any of the regular color probes like x-rite? I'm assuming it would be simple when the tv is connected to the PC, but it has to be color accurate as a standalone TV when it's displaying artwork

[@feliiiik]

Fnally, a great review. Would love to see the new TCL nxtframe and the Samsung compete.

[@jonh662]

How do they compare to the tcl nxtframe ?

[@dozzie152]

So did i hear that right the Hisense does not need a box similar to the Samsung?? What does the the AC\DC converter look like on the hisense? is it huge?

[@jonh662]

Correct. Built in. Huge advantage for Hisense and tcl frame tv

[@Edward135i]

Is there a reason why all of these frame TV's are edge lit?

[@j-ho234]

I love my Canvas tv. I got it because my tv is over the fire place due to the layout of my new place. Made my own art - if my dogs 😂. Also the anti glare works perfectly where the tv is placed- which gets a lot of light. Also, the ambient/ motion sensor is a nice feature and the auto dimming puts the art at the perfect contrast/ brightness. Don’t know if they activated some settings because their review is not accurate based on my experience.

[@curtis19921]

Wondering when you guys are going to review the LG Qned 90T/90?

Wanted to find a cheaper alternative to the frame tv but chinese one doesn't seem to be an option still considering the usecase of mine.

[@charltonhmumo6759]

How come you people won't review the LG qned91t??? Is that bad???? Why???

[@shadowtay23]

I see so many people asking for a TCL nxtFrame review I found your channel from another video where people were asking about TCL products. I was hoping this video reviewed the nxtframe as well most of the videos on the channel don't review these products or are years old sadly.

[@LeahReviews]

Huh.... you talked me out of buying either one. Thank you for this video. Excellent review!!

[@janeseymour8199]

Can you please do a review of bedroom tvs/ dark room tvs? We don’t need bits of 2000 to do the job.

[@RobTheSlob-z7b]

Was going buy the 65 inch frame , but not to sure if I’m intrigued enough … I think I like the crystal clear look of a tv .. not what these provide

Well, those artwork is curated by museum, or artists. I have one and the artwork that are mostly in the subscription isn’t typically what you’ll see available in a Google search for free download. That said I just go to Etsy and buy my wallpaper, $1-3 each, or I make one in Canva.

[@Kian_Farasat]

there is a new popular mini led monitor, xiaomi g pro 27i. can you test it?

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Hello Abby. TCL also has a frame type TV too. Ha ha ha ROKU has a new app called Backdrops which turns your TV into artwork when the TV is off. This TV artwork thing is catching on.😊❤❤

[@ellevee5345]

We have a Roku in our playroom. I never knew about the backdrops app. Thank you for this info!

[@aushutchy]

Incredible review, thanks team!

[@omc951]

How come Art mode when the TVs were “off” wasn’t tested? That’s the whole point of these TVs. Frame has white balance correction and motion detection built into the sensor. That dramatically changes the experience when the TV is “off”. No portrait mode support on the Hisense? Those are pretty big brushed over features for this type of product. Samsung also routinely includes the bezel with promos so if you’re talking about price it’s probably worth mentioning that as well, especially if a big talking point in the whole comparison is about how the bezel is not included and your reasoning to recommend the Hisense is just price alone. Samsung 65 Frame in Canada was $1899 last week. Only $200 CAD more than Hisense Canvas at the same time. 2022 65 Frame can be found on clearance for $1499 CAD as well. I would say don’t speak on price as deciding factor unless you’re willing to talk about sale and promo pricing.

[@toohhy]

i did a quick research and found hisense one was on sale last month for CAD 1500(including wooden frame and wallpapers), it is still a considerable price difference if you just compare the sale prices. So I would say the verdict is still unchanged.

[@Brian-ix4wb]

First!-Is that still a thing?

[@RTINGSdotcom]

We'll allow it 😄

[@Reljef85]

Amazing comparison! 👏

[@rocketbrothers540]

I like the idea of the frame or canvas a lot, but I just hope that they make the TV’s more competitive with more modern specs and performance with local dimming. I means Samsungs new anti glare coating on the S95 could work great. But marking up a mediocre display for those who want to display art is a bummer.

[@nxyxz]

can you review samsung due800 series 😅

[@HanmaHeiro]

Wait, this is the first I'm hearing about another channel dedicated to your long term review

I bought the 2024 The Frame and I was pretty disappointed by the poor contrast and surprisingly bad clouding. My 6 year old QNF model has much better contrast and virtually no clouding. And the subscription, come on…

[@EhNothing]

The whole "try to make a TV look like a painting" idea is one I never would have imagined people would go for. Wild.

[@precursors]

I wouldn’t either until I got one. Then my brother took it and I bought an LG C3 Oled Tv. But I miss the Samsung Frame, and thinking of buying one again 😅

[@cavalli821]

@@precursors HI. Did you notice a big difference between LG's C3 Oled and the frame?

[@hero314]

What is preventing manufacturers from pre-calibrating their TVs properly? And barring that why don't we have a quick and easy system to automatically calibrate TVs ourselves? With the level of tech we have nowadays this should be solved problem. A cottage industry of expensive TV calibatring "pros" just feels akin to a the dealership system we are forced to use when buying cars.

[@mannyk6808]

Probably the fact that they collectively produce hundreds of millions of units ever year... Also, Samsung, sony & LG tv's do come with their own versions of room-adjusted calibration.

[@matts-7566]

still the frame better overall

[@WonderSausage]

Another art TV without portrait mode support, smh

[@Kuranghi]

How would you use it as a TV in portrait mode?!?? Or do you mean having it in portrait and then rotate when it's time to watch it as a display?

[@WonderSausage]

@@Kuranghi I mean using it for art

[@SShepherd]

Samsung sells an auto-rotating wall mount that can rotate the Frame TV to portrait, be careful on the size, the one size smaller is needed for say the 55".

[@evlo8059]

funny how suddenly manufacturers remembered how to order matte panels

[@Anhedonis]

The breakout box for the Frame is great, but the Samsung Tizen TV interface is shite, and shoves their “recommended” options in your face. It’s hard to actually watch what you want to watch, and not at all customizable. I don’t know what interface this Hisense is, but both Google and Roku are way better. I regret buying the Frame.

[@DisplayNAudioTech]

Google tv does exactly the same infact Google is recommending take away and car advertising on it. I don’t know what you’re on about

[@justanotherdave.]

At a guess, the people who put them above the fireplace 🤦‍♂️

[@paulc5389]

I'd buy one to go behind a floor rising projector screen if they were better. Primarily to be a digital picture frame but doubling up for viewing anything I don't want to be big such as news, TV debates, music videos, etc. But yeah that's a pretty niche use case. I'd imagine it's primarily the crowd that barely watch movies and TV shows and think a TV belongs above a fireplace.

[@Ajax-0137]

🥛🥵

[@hardware_house]

1. The Hisense looks more like an art work than the Samsung. 2. Why buy The frame without a frame, then pay extra for the frame of the frame. 3. Paying for pictures of paintings on a tv designed to show paintings. I think the Hisense is spot-on this time, it's better to get an OLED TV alongside the frame of the frame. it'd look better. ❤

[@DisplayNAudioTech]

You sound like a hisense rep. The frame tv is miles better and is like a picture frame and has better performance than the hisense and Samsung has been doing it for years and there is always a promos on Samsung bezel and frame tv so no hisense is still shittee..

[@Cristopher-S.G]

So, samsung is like apple, a little bit better but same thing just more expensive and incomplete.

[@devinmurray5280]

Bahahah Samsungs low quality in so many areas and dumb products being eaten alive by the Chinese market. Most of the time I’d recommend a Hisense or a TCL over a Samsung. But it’s been that way for years. Then better quality is LG, Sony, Panasonic.

Let's see how things play out in the long run. I see Hisense quality getting better in 5 years but then their pricing will be there with Samsung too

Nah, just people that understand the value of money. The Samsung is just too expensive for what it is, and the subscription is predatory. For me I wouldn't buy either, OLED for life.
