Meural Canvas II is specifically engineered for digital art and photography—not a TV hybrid. Its matte, anti‑glare IPS display closely mimics the look of real printed canvas, even under direct lighting. Meural focuses purely on the art experience, delivering lifelike detail in a floating frame design.

Why It Stands Out
True-to-Life Canvas Texture: The matte panel absorbs reflections and looks like real printed art.
Gesture & App Controls: Users can swipe their hands in front of the sensor to flip through artworks, or use the Meural app/Web to upload their own images or browse the Meural Gallery.
Art‑First Focus: You’re buying a frame meant solely for displaying art—with no distracting TV features or elevated brightness for video content.
Large Internal Storage: 16 GB holds hundreds of high-resolution images without needing to swap files constantly.
Pros
Anti‑glare, matte display that resembles physical canvas
Excellent color accuracy, especially in portrait and photograph reproduction
Thoughtful gesture control: swipe to change art without a remote
Large storage for extensive personal libraries, plus easy USB file upload
Customizable frame options (multiple wood tones)
Cons
Subscription Needed for Full Experience: Without membership, you can only upload your own art; curated Meural Gallery access requires a subscription.
Bulkier Than TV Frames: It stands about 1.25 in off the wall; must be anchored to a stud or with strong drywall anchors.
Price:
27″ Canvas II (QHD) is $699 USD (frame separate).
32″ 4K version runs about $1,399 USD (frame separate).
No TV Capability: If you want a TV + art hybrid, this isn’t the right pick.
