Our Verdict
Samsung The Frame 2026
LG Gallery 2026
The Samsung The Frame 2026 is a much better TV than the LG Gallery 2026. The Samsung delivers significantly better picture quality, with higher peak brightness and better contrast, so movies are more vivid and impactful overall. The Samsung also maintains its picture quality better during the day. Finally, the Samsung can remove judder from almost all sources, so motion is smoother and more fluid when watching content.
