Samsung Art Store vs LG Gallery+: Which Art Platform Wins?

If you are choosing between a Samsung and LG art TV, the hardware matters — but so does the art platform you will use every day. Samsung's Art Store and LG's Gallery+ take fundamentally different approaches to art on your TV. Here is how they compare.

Platform Comparison

Samsung Art Store: Bigger Library, AI Features, Subscription Model

Samsung's Art Store is the larger, more feature-rich platform. With 5,000+ artworks, Generative Wallpaper AI, Google Photos integration, and flexible upload options, it gives you the most ways to put art on your screen.

The trade-off is cost. While 70+ free pieces rotate annually, accessing the full 5,000+ library requires a subscription (~$5–$6/month). It is affordable, but it is still an ongoing cost on top of the TV price.

LG Gallery+: Free, Curated, Design-Forward

LG's Gallery+ takes the opposite approach — everything is free. Buy an LG Gallery TV and the entire art library is included at no additional cost. No subscription, no paywall, no tiers.

The trade-off is a smaller library and fewer features. Gallery+ does not have AI art generation, limited custom upload support, and the library ranges from 100 pieces on base models to 4,500 on the LX7 Gallery TV. LG compensates with ambient video content (scenery, nature scenes) that Samsung does not offer.

Which Platform Is Better?

Samsung Art Store wins on: library size, AI features, custom upload flexibility, sheer variety of content. If you want the most art options and are willing to pay $5–$6/month, Samsung is the richer platform.

LG Gallery+ wins on: value (free), simplicity (no subscription management), ambient content (scenery videos), and the Gallery design philosophy (art is the default mode, not an afterthought).

Beyond Both: Custom AI Art

Both platforms are limited to their own curated libraries. If you want truly unique art — something no one else has on their wall — generate it yourself. ArtTV creates AI art in any style, optimized for the aspect ratio and resolution of both Samsung and LG TVs.

Upload custom art to Samsung Frame via SmartThings or USB. For LG, use a USB drive or compatible media player. Either way, your art library becomes unlimited.
