It only took several years, but we finally have an alternative option in theHisenseCanvasTV.
For this review, I tested the 55-inch version of the Hisense CanvasTV.
This creates an almost paper-like texture that helps art on the TV look more realistic.

Will it fool your house guests entirely?
But it sure does look nice compared to typical non-matte TVs.
With the CanvasTV, it’s great that you dont need to pay a premium.

The CanvasTV, like most Hisense TVs, runs theGoogleTV platform.
Furthermore, I think Hisense has done remotes well for a few years now.
Our benchmarks feature a slate of technical and subjective tests meant to score the set’s performance.

The CanvasTV registered 157.4 nits in SDR and 420.2 nits in HDR in a 10% window.
Even Samsung’s Frame TV performed slightly better with closer to 600 nits peak HDR brightness.
709 (SDR) color gamut.
For HDR content, it covered 95.3% of the UHDA color gamut and 73.82% of the Rec.
2020 gamut, which are actually OK scores for a set like this.
From a viewing standpoint, nothing blew me away.
I found that certain pieces look better than others.
