This week, LG invited me to stare at its most recent Canvas TV, mini-LED screens with matte displays that debuted back at CES 2026. It turned out LG was trying to promote its partnership with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where—if you pay for an LG Gallery+ subscription—you get access to slideshows of select paintings shown in the renowned museum. The Met has similar, ongoing deals with Samsung for the Samsung Art Store usable on its competing The Frame series.

There’s nothing wrong with LG’s first Gallery TV. Facing head-on, the matte filter on the screen may honestly trick a passerby into thinking it’s legitimate oil on canvas. Closer inspection reveals there’s no actual texture that makes seeing these paintings in real life such a transformative experience. It may not also have the best viewing angles or brightness, based on my limited time with it. Samsung’s The Frame Pro is still one of the few of its kind that could potentially replace your actual TV.

But that’s not why you’re buying one of these. You want a screen that can show art on a wall with a degree of verisimilitude. LG’s 55-inch Gallery TV currently goes for $800 at Best Buy. A Hisense Hi-QLED S7 CanvasTV, the company’s smallest own art TV line, sells for a similar amount on sale.
