LG Gallery TV: Blending Art and Technology in the Modern Home
Jakarta – The burgeoning market for televisions designed to resemble artwork is gaining momentum. Following Samsung’s established success with its The Frame series, major manufacturers are now entering the fray. TCL and Hisense have already made their mark, and now LG has officially unveiled its contender: the LG Gallery TV.
LG’s Gallery TV represents an attempt to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge screen technology with an aesthetic sensibility that has become the hallmark of art TVs. A key component of this offering is integration with Gallery+, a visual content platform launched by LG earlier this year.
Gallery+ provides access to a vast library of imagery, encompassing classic and contemporary art, cinematic visuals, and even game-inspired scenes. When not actively used for viewing customary content,the television transforms into a dynamic display resembling a painting,as reported by The Verge on December 30,2025.
This approach mirrors the functionality of Samsung’s Art Store. While a selection of content is available for free, the full Gallery+ experience requires a subscription. This positions the art TV not merely as a hardware purchase, but as an entry point into a recurring, paid content ecosystem.
LG is keen to differentiate the Gallery TV from its existing OLED G Series line, such as the LG G5. Despite the ancient use of the “Gallery” designation within the G Series, this new Gallery TV is presented as a distinct product. Notably, it utilizes mini-LED technology rather than OLED.
LG highlights that the Gallery TV features a specialized screen engineered to minimize glare and light reflections, creating a viewing experience akin to observing a genuine work of art. This is likely achieved through the submission of a matte coating, a common feature in contemporary art TVs.
While specific backlight details remain undisclosed, the Gallery TV is anticipated to employ an edge lighting system, aligning with the strategies of competitors in this segment. The choice of mini-LED is particularly sensible given the need to display static images for extended periods. While OLED technology excels in image quality, it carries a potential risk of image retention or burn-in when displaying a single visual continuously.
Interestingly, LG has also adopted a design philosophy previously implemented by Hisense. The Gallery TV is offered with a removable physical frame, initially available in white, with a wooden frame option available for separate purchase. This reinforces the intention to integrate the television seamlessly into the home’s interior design, rather than simply presenting it as an electronic device.
Initially, the LG Gallery TV will be available in 55-inch and 65-inch screen sizes. Though, LG has yet to announce pricing or global availability details.
