When idle, most televisions appear as a dark display in the living area. Samsung’s The Frame has disrupted this norm by introducing an art-centric TV that elevates interior design. Timothy Werth, Mashable’s tech editor, has hailed The Frame as the world’s top television, prompting numerous replicas. In preparation for CES 2026, LG is set to unveil its own artistic television, the LG Gallery TV.
Like The Frame, LG’s Gallery TV operates as a standard television for watching programs, gaming, and streaming films. When it’s not being utilized, it transitions to Gallery Mode, showcasing renowned artworks instead of an empty screen. LG asserts that the TV reduces glare and optimizes color and brightness for clarity all day long.

According to LG, users can showcase personal images in Gallery Mode and generate new artworks utilizing AI technology. Even without individual contributions, the Gallery TV comes preloaded with 4,500 artworks for a slideshow presentation.
The Gallery TV is anticipated to launch in 2026 in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, featuring a flush-mount aesthetic and a detachable magnetic frame. It will be equipped with an a7 AI processor, typical of LG’s mid-tier TVs, and a matte MiniLED display. It remains uncertain whether this is a genuine MiniLED or an edge-lit display marketed as MiniLED, akin to select LG and Samsung models.
While pricing details have not been revealed, Bloomberg indicates LG intends to stay competitive with Samsung. Currently, the 55-inch Frame TV retails for $1,499.99, with the 65-inch variant priced at an additional $500. LG’s pricing strategy is expected to reflect similarities.
Despite being new to LG, the Gallery TV enters a saturated marketplace. In addition to Samsung, competitors like Hisense, TCL, and Skyworth are vying with the CanvasTV, NXTVision TV, and Canvas Art TV, respectively, often priced lower than Samsung.
Whereas other imitators of The Frame lean towards lower pricing, LG is marketing the Gallery TV as a premium selection. The Gallery TV may hold an advantage over The Frame, which provides a QLED display in its standard model and a MiniLED in the more expensive Frame Pro. LG’s Gallery TV is equipped with a MiniLED panel, potentially delivering superior display quality compared to Samsung’s.
