As first reported by Mike Wheatley from the industry site HDTVTest, Hisense is launching the second generation of its "artistic" television, which directly competes with Samsung's popular The Frame series. The new model, designated by the symbol S7 ChooseTV (S7SG), replaces the debuting model S7N from two years ago and brings several significant changes – particularly in the available screen sizes.
From 50 to a whopping 85 inches – will Poland get a full offering?
The most important novelty in this year's offering is the expansion of size options. The Hisense S7SG will be available in 50, 55, 65, 75, and 85 inches. The addition of the smallest 50-inch variant signals that the manufacturer aims to reach those looking for a stylish screen for smaller spaces.
It is worth raising a question at this point. Which concerns our market. The previous generation (S7N) was available in Poland exclusively in the size of 55 inches, which significantly limited consumer choice. The question of whether this time the Polish branch of Hisense will decide to introduce the full range, including the powerful 85-inch model, remains unanswered for now.
If you are interested in its previous version, we made a dedicated film in which we compared 3 lifestyle televisions:
Screen that pretends to be a picture
The concept of Canvas TV remains unchanged: the television should not dominate the living room when it is turned off. Thanks to the Art Mode, the device displays images of famous masters or private photos, transforming the black glass surface into a digital canvas.
To make the effect credible, Hisense has employed:
Matte QLED panel: Effectively eliminates light reflections, making the image look like paper or canvas rather than a glossy screen.
Ultra-flat mount: The included bracket allows you to hang the television almost perfectly against the wall.
Frames styled like a picture: The casing mimics traditional framing of artworks.
What will we find inside?
The heart of the new S7 is the MediaTek Pentonic 700 processor. For gamers, the TV offers two HDMI 2.1 ports, a refresh rate of 144 Hz, VRR support, and AMD FreeSync Premium. The smart system is powered by Google TV (in the USA), which provides access to all popular streaming apps. If it comes to us, it will probably use the Vidaa system. Hisense also boasts its own graphics store, which features over 1000 works (still fewer than the competition, but... free 😉).
Price
Although the television has already debuted in the United States, official Polish prices and release dates for individual sizes are not yet known. The predecessor in the 55-inch version started at around 700 dollars (2799zł), so the new generation will likely maintain an aggressive pricing policy to compete with Samsung's The Frame.
