Hisense CanvasTV S7SG series Hisense

Hisense‘s new CanvasTV lineup for 2026 arrives with a simple but unique idea, which is that your TV shouldn’t dominate your living space. Unlike your typical television, the CanvasTV can transform into a piece of wall art with its Art Mode, which displays paintings or personal photos when idle.

The CanvasTV S7SG series was just announced in the US, releasing as the successor to the original S7N line.

What makes it stand out?

Thanks to its ultra-slim wall mount, the TV can sit flush against the wall, which adds to its framed painting look. But it’s not all about the looks, as many of the solid display specs make a return.

Combined with a matte anti-glare panel, the effect is meant to feel closer to an actual canvas than a traditional TV. While the design is the highlight here, the QLED panel offers 4K resolution, Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ support, and much more. It was announced in multiple screen sizes, which include 50 inches, 55 inches, 65 inches, 75 inches, and 85 inches variants.

You also get access to various gaming features like VRR, ALLM, and AMD’s FreeSync Premium support. Hisense’s new picture frame TV runs on Google TV, bringing support for various apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube, along with built-in voice controls.

What else do you get?

To double as a wall art, you get access to more than 1,000 artworks. There’s even a motion sensor, so the TV can automatically display these art pieces when someone enters the room. Other notable features include an integrated 2.0.2 audio system, four HDMI ports, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0.

As of right now, the pricing and availability details are still unknown. But it will likely cost over $1,200. If this sounds a little too steep, you can check out the older Hisense CanvasTV S7N, which is selling with a $350 discount right now.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one
Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible
Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy
LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.
