These are as much about how your room looks when the TV is off as about what you watch. Samsung's Frame Pro offers a cleaner installation and stronger daytime brightness; Hisense's CanvasTV offers matte art styling and mounting value. Neither should be treated like a dedicated OLED home-theater display.
Premium art TV with excellent glare control, much higher brightness than standard Frame and a clean Wireless One Connect installation
Excellent matte glare control, included flush mount/frame and strong décor value at a lower price than Samsung Frame
Independent testing: The Frame Pro is easiest to justify when the screen must look good as wall art. Testing highlights its glare control, higher daytime brightness than the standard Frame and Wireless One Connect. Basic local dimming, blurred motion and high input lag make it a less convincing choice for movie contrast or responsive gaming.
Owner experience: A small direct Best Buy sample likes the matte art presentation and Wireless One Connect. One reported frustration concerns SmartThings setup; there is not enough feedback to call it a widespread problem.
Independent testing: CanvasTV’s strengths are its matte finish and daytime brightness: it is designed to blend into a bright room and display art with less glare. The test trade-offs are poor contrast and slow pixel response. Those limits matter much more for dark-room movies, fast sports and gaming than for a wall-mounted art display.
Owner experience: Direct Best Buy owners praise the daytime picture, slim wall-mounted appearance and glare reduction. That feedback aligns with the art-TV use case highlighted by the independent test.

Trade-off: Local dimming is basic, dark-room black levels still trail real Mini-LED/OLED TVs, and motion/input lag are not ideal for serious gaming
Excellent matte glare control, included flush mount/frame and strong décor value at a lower price than Samsung Frame
Trade-off: Low contrast, no local dimming and very blurry motion make it a style-first TV rather than a picture-performance choice
That is not a universal winner. Your room, use and budget can change the recommendation, especially when one model is still awaiting enough evidence for a final public rating.
