If you were a little busy celebrating the end of summer this past weekend, then you may have missed the latest – and arguably one of the coolest – developments in new televisions. On the eve of Labor Day, LG unveiled its latest OLED HDTV in Seoul South Korea, and not only does it answer the videophile’s cry for a wall-mounted OLED TV, it also aims to deliver on the futuristic dream of a TV that looks more like art on the wall than it does a TV.

The 55-inch LG Gallery OLED TV is mounted on what looks like a canvas and is surrounded by a picture frame. That “canvas,” however, is used to conceal ultra-thin speakers, while the picture frame hides a pair of subwoofers. When not in use, the TV can display pre-loaded high-resolution images of famous paintings by artists such as Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh.

Pricing on the set has not been announced, but we can probably expect something lofty, if not a bit cheaper than an original Gauguin.

As for availability, LG only states that the TV will be introduced in Germany first, with “other markets to follow.” Visitors to this year’s IFA show in Berlin can view the Gallery at LG’s booth in Hall 11.2 of Messe Berlin.

Why you should buy the LG C3 OLED TV
First, let's talk about the technology behind OLED TVs and why it's so different. OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, where the LEDs used to display a picture are individually lit using an electrical current. Organic molecules produce the light for the LEDs so that each pixel can be controlled individually. That also means in dark scenes where the pixel needs to be black, the light is essentially turned off, giving you accurate black tones. It results in the picture being truly black instead of washed out because of the lighting behind the panel. OLED also offers incredible sharpness and contrast, far beyond what you may be used to with standard LED TVs. This ultra-slim LG C3 Series smart TV uses OLED technology, with LG's brightness booster, plus Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support. It's no wonder why LG's OLED TVs dominate the list of the best OLED TVs for 2024. LG holds the top two spots.
