I am currently building a new home. It's my first home, and needless to say, I have a whole lot to purchase over the next few months before I move in. That's why over Cyber Week, I was scouring the most significant sales across retailers for any smart home gear that I could save big on (it helps that I do this 24/7 as ZDNET's deals & shopping editor).
Also: Skip the Frame: The Hisense Canvas TV is the best art TV deal this Cyber Monday.
The Hisense Canvas TV fit the bill, and after a few days of deliberation, I went all in, added it to my cart, and scooped up this deal late last night. There are still plenty of other TV deals still available right now, but if you're looking for a TV with Art Mode, you shouldn't look any further.
Over the last few days (including during Black Friday and Cyber Monday), the Hisense Canvas S7 TV was selling for 35% off at retailers like Best Buy and Amazon. This brought the price of the 55-inch model down to just $650, and the 65-inch model to $850. Larger sizes of the TV were also discounted, but these two sizes (especially the 55-inch) pack the most value. I purchased the 65-inch Canvas TV last night from Best Buy. With an $850 sale price, 5% cash back via Rakuten, and a $10 Best Buy rewards credit, I spent only $798 on the Hisense Canvas 65-inch (excluding taxes), and I'm pretty proud of myself.

If you've been on the fence about purchasing one -- I wouldn't wait. These are the best prices we've seen in several weeks, and the lowest price we've ever seen on the 55-inch model. And didn't just hastily check out. I asked other ZDNET experts (and my coworkers) for their thoughts before I began shopping for TVs this week, and the Hisense Canvas had rave reviews.

Managing Editor Kerry Wan reviewed the TV upon its initial release, and recommended buying it over its competitor -- The Samsung Frame -- this Black Friday. Former editor-in-chief Jason Hiner called this deal the best art TV deal of Black Friday earlier this week and noted it as one of his favorite TVs of 2024. Additionally, readers have been enthusiastic about this offer. The Hisense Canvas TV is our #3 top-selling TV deal of the last few days and our #5 top-selling TV of the year.
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.
