Art TVs aren’t exactly known for being affordable, which is why Woot’s latest sale is notable. Now through June 26th, the retailer is discounting Samsung’s 2025 Frame TV and Hisense’s 2025 CanvasTV. The 65-inch CanvasTV is down to $779.99 ($520 off) — its best price of the year — while Samsung’s like-minded Frame TV is on sale in multiple sizes starting at $587.99 ($312 off). If you want a bigger set, the 75-inch CanvasTV is also on sale for $1,197.99 ($1,302 off). However, note that both Hisense models come with a one-year warranty, whereas the Frame TVs only include a 90-day warranty through Woot.
Both 4K TVs deliver an excellent, art-focused experience. When my colleague John Higgins compared the two panels in November, he found that the artwork looked remarkably realistic on their matte displays, even though the Frame was brighter (661 vs. 527 nits) and handled reflections better. Hisense also includes a magnetic bezel with each purchase and, by default, access to more than 1,000 works by renowned artists such as Van Gogh and Monet. Samsung, meanwhile, charges up to $200 for its optional bezels, depending on the size, plus another $50 a year for access to its full suite of artwork.
In addition to blending easily into your home decor, both the Hisense and the Frame are great for watching TV and gaming. Each offers a max 144Hz variable refresh rate (except for the 43- and 50-inch Frame models), which helps make fast-paced action movies, sports, and games look smooth. The Frame also offers four HDMI 2.1 ports instead of just two, though the CanvasTV has the leg up when it comes to software, since it runs on Google’s intuitive TV interface rather than Samsung’s clunky Tizen OS. Both sets support Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for voice controls, though, as well as Apple AirPlay.
