Memorial Day weekend is here, and while it's a great excuse to stay offline, there are some enticing reasons to consider some virtual browsing. One of the best deals I've seen so far is the latest model of the Hisense Canvas S7 TV on sale for under $1,000, and over 43% off.

The Hisense Canvas TV is one ZDNET experts have praised as a direct competitor to the more expensive Samsung Frame TV, which is a popular choice for those looking for a TV that blends seamlessly into decor. Hisense has recently released its 2026 Canvas models, and they're seeing strong sales. The 55-inch model is on sale for $850 -- more than $600 off its regular price of $1,500. The larger 65-inch model is also on sale for $1,099.

Editor in Chief Kerry Wan reviewed the Canvas TV upon its initial release, and recommended buying it over its competitor -- The Samsung Frame -- this past Black Friday. Additionally, readers have been enthusiastic about this model. The previous Hisense Canvas TV model was our #5 top-selling TV of 2025.

Review: Hisense Canvas TV: A worthy Samsung Frame competitor that's much cheaper

It's such a trusted model that I took advantage of a similar deal earlier this year -- but on an older version. This past Cyber Week, I bought the 65-inch 2024 Hisense Canvas TV for $850, which was a great price at the time. Now, the newer 2026 55-inch Hisense Canvas model is on sale for the same price, and although a few inches smaller, it's a truly great offer.

Like Samsung, Hisense's Canvas TV is a QLED set treated with a matte, anti-reflection layer and wooden borders to make it look as close as possible to a piece of art decor.

In his review, Wan noted that art TVs are not ideal for users seeking top-of-the-line viewing, but rather for those who prioritize aesthetics and design. The Hisense Canvas is not foolproof, but it's a great budget option if you want the Samsung Frame look without the price tag. And in my own research, many customers prefer the Google OS that's native to the Hisense Canvas over Samsung's system.

Although I can't speak to the latest upgrades, I can say that this heavily discounted model comes with a mount and everything you need to get started. Now's the time to take advantage of this offer.

How I rated this deal

Based on ZDNET's deal-rating system, these 43% savings warrant a 5/5 Editor's deal rating. Saving over $600 on a smart canvas-style art TV is a big score, especially when it normally retails for $1,500. Plus, this Hisense Canvas TV is a direct competitor to Samsung's Frame TV and is praised by ZDNET experts like me.

When will this deal expire?

This deal could end tonight or sometime next month. There's really no way to tell on Amazon unless it's explicitly marked, but as a shopping expert, I'd guess these savings won't last much longer after the Memorial Day weekend comes to a close. If you're interested, I recommend taking advantage while you can.
