LG will introduce a Gallery TV at CES 2026 that targets home art display and living-room integration. The new model uses a Mini LED 4K panel, the company’s Alpha 7 processor, and a canvas-style flush mount with magnetic frames. Two sizes will be offered and the TV integrates a paid art library plus tools for custom image creation.
Design and display features
Flush-mount aesthetic and frames
The Gallery TV features a flush-mount design intended to sit close to the wall and ships with customizable magnetic frames for a gallery-like look.
Mini LED panel and resolution
The display uses Mini LED backlighting and delivers 4K resolution. LG highlights texture rendering and refined contrast as part of the visual focus.
Reflection handling and ambient adaptation
The TV includes reflection-handling and glare-reduction measures, with automatic picture adjustments that respond to changing ambient light throughout the day. Exact specifications for reflection control were not disclosed.
Art and content ecosystem
Gallery+ subscription
A paid Gallery+ service will offer a curated library of more than 4,500 artworks available for display on the TV. The service is positioned as the primary content source for users who want a rotating art collection.
Custom image creation and personal libraries
The system supports creation of custom images using automated image-generation tools and allows displaying photos from personal libraries, expanding options beyond the curated catalog.
Performance and viewing experience
Processor and image optimization
The Gallery TV uses LG’s Alpha 7 processor to handle image processing and scene optimization. A dedicated Gallery Mode is designed to tune brightness and color to better showcase artwork and surface texture.
Collaboration with curators
LG states the TV was developed with input from museum curators to refine reproduction of artwork and accurate color presentation.
Market context and rivals
Lineage and competition
This model follows LG’s earlier ultra-thin GX Gallery TV of 2020 and other Gallery Design lines. The new Gallery TV is positioned to compete directly with Samsung’s The Frame and Hisense’s CanvasTV, with a stronger emphasis on art-focused features.
Timing and show debut
CES 2026 runs January 6–9 in Las Vegas. LG plans to unveil the Gallery TV at the show, where further hands-on details and pricing are expected.
Editor’s Comments
The Gallery TV reflects a clear trend toward merging premium display hardware with curated content ecosystems. Mini LED provides higher peak brightness and improved local dimming compared with many conventional LCD TVs, which helps when reproducing artwork with subtle highlights and depth. The Alpha 7 processor and a Gallery Mode tuned with curator input suggest image processing will be a focal point, but final judgment depends on measured color accuracy, tonal gradation, and reflection control in real-room conditions.
The inclusion of automated image-generation tools and personal-photo support broadens appeal beyond buyers who subscribe to an art catalog. Competitive positioning versus Samsung’s The Frame will hinge on price, frame options, and the perceived value of the Gallery+ library. Expect initial availability in 55-inch and 65-inch SKUs, followed by potential expansion if market response favors the product. If reflection handling and color fidelity meet museum-grade expectations, the Gallery TV could accelerate consumer interest in display-as-decor products.
