LG Gallery TV Unveiled Ahead of CES 2026: A New Art-Focused TV to Rival Samsung The Frame

The LG Gallery TV marks LG’s official entry into the fast-growing Art TV category, a space long dominated by Samsung’s The Frame. Announced ahead of CES 2026, the new LG Art TV is designed for interior-conscious consumers who want their television to double as a piece of art when not in use.

With its premium Gallery+ service, matte-style screen, and elegant wall-mounted design, LG is positioning the Gallery TV as more than just a display—it’s a lifestyle statement.


LG Gallery TV Designed as a Living Room Canvas

Unlike traditional televisions, the LG Gallery TV is built to look like artwork rather than a black screen. It functions as a dedicated digital canvas, showcasing over 4,500 curated visuals through the LG Gallery+ service.

The content library includes:

  • Fine art and museum-inspired pieces
  • Cinematic stills
  • Gaming visuals and animations

While Gallery+ offers limited free access, a subscription unlocks its full potential—similar to Samsung’s Art Store, but with LG’s own creative ecosystem.


Mini-LED Art TV Instead of OLED: A Smart Choice

LG has confirmed that the LG Gallery TV is a Mini-LED Art TV, not an OLED model. This is an intentional move. OLED panels, while excellent for movies, can face image retention issues when displaying static images for long periods—something common in art display modes.

The Mini-LED display, paired with a specialized low-glare screen, reduces reflections and enhances the texture of artworks, making them appear more realistic under different lighting conditions.

This makes the LG Gallery TV ideal for all-day display without worrying about burn-in.


Gallery Mode Developed with Museum Curators

One of the standout features of the LG Art TV is its Gallery Mode, developed in collaboration with museum curators. This mode intelligently adjusts:

  • Color accuracy
  • Brightness levels
  • Contrast based on ambient light

As a result, artworks maintain their depth and realism throughout the day, whether in bright daylight or low-light evening conditions.

Design, Sizes, and Performance Features

The LG Gallery TV will be available in 55-inch and 65-inch variants. It features:

  • Slim, flush-mount wall design
  • Customizable magnetic frames
  • Large internal storage for saved art and personal images

Despite its artistic focus, the TV delivers a premium entertainment experience powered by:

  • α (Alpha) 7 AI Processor
  • 4K Mini-LED visuals
  • AI Sound Pro with Virtual 9.1.2-channel audio

This ensures that the TV performs just as well for movies and shows as it does for art display.


LG Gallery+ Service Turns TV into a Lifestyle Hub

The LG Gallery+ service goes beyond static visuals. Users can:

  • Create custom images using Generative AI
  • Display personal photo collections
  • Add background music for ambiance
  • Stream playlists via Bluetooth

LG also confirmed that Gallery+ will be available across its entire TV lineup, expanding the LG lifestyle TV experience beyond the Gallery TV alone.


LG’s Vision for Lifestyle TVs at CES 2026

Speaking on the launch, Park Hyoung-sei, President of LG Media Entertainment Solution Company, emphasized LG’s vision:

“We will continue to expand our lifestyle TV lineup, transforming the screen into a companion that adapts to our customers’ preferences.”

This highlights LG’s broader strategy—moving TVs beyond entertainment into design-centric home companions.
