How Does Gallery Mode Work on LG TV
Once you activate the Gallery Mode, the TV will display scenes, stock photos, and abstract images when it turns idle. Thus, it protects your LG Smart TV against image retention and burn-in issues.
Instead of boring landscapes, the Gallery mode displays beautiful, high-quality artworks or photographs, like a painting. For a better addition, you can turn on some soothing music for a relaxing vibe.
LG TV Gallery Mode – What’s Missing
Though LG TV’s gallery mode is one of the best features, it still has many drawbacks and many restrictions.
- You can’t add your pictures. Rather, you can only use the pictures saved on the LG server.
- There is no way to adjust or set the amount of time the picture displays. LG TV has restricted this to avoid screen burnout issues.
- There are no customization features available, so the LG TV does not allow you to customize bezels or frames.
- The picture changes relatively after a long time with a sudden break in the illusion.

We have just purchased a 2022 LG Nanocell TV – model 65NANO756QA.
When we saw this tv in the store (we actually bought the store display tv) it was showing a slide show that looked like the art gallery mode. However, we have now had the tv installed and there is no art gallery mode app pre-installed. I cannot find any information on whether this particular model of tv supports this app. I have tried searching for this app and nothing is coming up.
Are you able to provide any suggestions?
Thanks
Wendy
