The Frame is no longer the sole luxurious 32-inch QLED TV: Introducing the $299.99 Hisense S5 DécoTV

GET IT AT AMAZON FOR $299.99: On December 9, Hisense unveiled the 32-inch S5 DécoTV QLED Fire TV at Amazon priced at $299.99. With an artful white fluid stand, it serves as a chic and budget-friendly alternative to Samsung’s 32-inch The Frame.

On December 9, Hisense launched a distinct new television that offers a premium appearance in QLED technology for compact spaces at a non-premium cost. The 32-inch Hisense S5 DécoTV Fire TV, showcasing a striking white curved stand, is now available for $299.99 on Amazon.

The DécoTV addresses a need within the television market. There are limited options for 32-inch QLED TVs. Available choices include the Samsung’s 32-inch The Frame at $599.99, another Samsung 32-inch QLED for $499.99, and a TCL 32-inch QLED television that starts as low as $139.99. Prior to the DécoTV, consumers had to choose between spending over $500 on a compact TV or going for the cheapest small QLED alternative. (The Samsung models provide 4K resolution, while both the TCL and Hisense DécoTV feature 1080p resolution.)

The Fire TV platform is the easiest to navigate, making this Fire TV appealing.

As the DécoTV lacks 4K resolution, it doesn’t replicate The Frame — that’s the purpose of Hisense’s CanvasTV. Nevertheless, the DécoTV presents a compelling and budget-friendly alternative to The Frame. There exists a demand for compact televisions that don’t resemble a dark, plastic block of technology. In smaller rooms, the TV can become a central feature. If The Frame and its art-like bezels are out of your price range, the elegant bezels that seamlessly integrate with the DécoTV’s stylish stand offer a more economical and visually attractive option.

When selecting a television for the kitchen or bedroom, prioritize brightness, which choosing QLED over standard LED provides. In my home and my parents’ residence, smaller TVs not placed in living rooms are mainly used during daylight hours. It’s common for someone to be folding laundry in a bedroom or handling kitchen tasks while enjoying TV. The quantum dots utilized in QLED enhance brightness, contrast, and color richness, improving performance in natural light.

QLED televisions excel for viewing sports in daylight — picture catching the playoffs while being productive on a Sunday and clearly following the action.
