Samsung's popular Smart TV is about to get a healthy dose of competition.
LG Electronics is set to unveil its brand new Gallery TV within the next month, and it's been created with actual museum curators to help you turn your living room into a proper art gallery.
This standout feature is called Gallery Mode, which adjusts colours and brightness to make artwork appear lifelike on your TV screen when it’s not in use. This handy tech makes it look like a literal piece of art is displayed in your home — not your telly.
Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company, said: "We will continue to lead the market by expanding our lifestyle TV lineup, transforming the screen into a companion that fluidly adapts to our customers' preferences. Our goal is to enrich customers' lives by providing the freedom to design every aspect of their personal space."
This is a very similar concept to Samsung's The Frame. Samsung has been using its own tech to display art across your telly since 2017.
However, LG's new curator collaboration could give the Gallery TV an edge when it comes to displaying masterpieces authentically.

Fancy creating your own artwork? The service will also let you use Generative AI to make custom images, or you can display your personal photos. There's even background music built in to set the mood, with options to stream your own playlists via Bluetooth.
In comparison, Samsung's Art Store offers around 3,000 works from over 1,000 artists, including pieces from the Museum of Modern Art and Art Basel. LG's larger library gives it a numerical advantage here.

Both brands offer customisable bezels and anti-reflection screens, though Samsung has been certified with Pantone colour validation for its displays.
