Ever imagine owning a gadget that plays high-definition videos but can turn into an oil painting at the blink of an eye? If so, check out the new Hisense TV.

The ultra-thin flat LCD TV recently introduced by Chinese electronics maker Hisense comes with a feature that allows the owner to change the screen to resemble an oil painting, Xinhua news agency reported Friday.

The frame on the hanging device also adds to the effect of a Renaissance painting.

The TV is also compatible with mp3 and mp4 files and features Photoshop-like functions, Xinhua says.
