My Favorite Art TV Is Half-off for Amazon Prime Day

# My Favorite Art TV Is Half-off for Amazon Prime Day Source: [https://www.wired.com/story/i-love-this-hisense-art-tv-and-its-half-off-apd/](https://www.wired.com/story/i-love-this-hisense-art-tv-and-its-half-off-apd/) Just last week,the WIRED Reviews team published our comprehensive guide to the[best art TVs](https://www.wired.com/story/best-art-tvs/), a piece I've long anticipated\. Art TVs, you probably know, are screens that display art when they're not in use\. They have a matte finish and a bezel that mimics the frame you'd hang art with on your wall\. My own contribution to our guide was the Hisense S7 CanvasTV\. I love this thing\. And for Prime Day, the S7 is currently half off its list price, and $100 below the lowest price we've ever tracked it\. I have the 50\-inch size, which is perfect for a wall in my bedroom\. The picture quality is not competitive with high\-performance screens, but that's not really the point\. Not everyone cares about a crazy\-high refresh rate, inky blacks, and extreme sharpness\. Some people—many people— just want a TV that will show a game or stream YouTube and doesn't look dorky in their room\. But you cannot beat the current price\. - Photograph: Martin Cizmar - Photograph: Martin Cizmar The Samsung Frame was the first major player in this category, and remains the best\-known name, but there are now a number of competitors, including TCL and Amazon's Ember Artlite\. But I'm still quite partial to the Hisense CanvasTV line\. If you're looking for a discreet second or third screen for somewhere in your house, you can't beat this price\. Also factor in that you're getting a free bezel \(frame\) with that, which you'd have to drop another $150 for with Samsung\. While it's heavy enough that you should have two people to mount it, you can have this CanvasTV leveled on the wall with the single\-piece mounting bracket within an hour\. It connects seamlessly to your Google account, where you can pull photos, or you can choose from 1,000 pieces of art without paying for a subscription\. I really love Hisense TVs, in general, as they have intuitive controls housed in a brushed nickel remote and a built\-in Google TV operating system\.
