The G1 is called gallery design because it is designed to be able to mount almost flush with the wall like a picture frame. That's probably where the similarities end though. The G1 also still has a glossy screen which helps give it deeper contrast than a matte screen like The Frame. Also as an OLED, I don't think many would recommend displaying static images for significant amounts of time.
The G1 is still a picture quality first type product, whereas The Frame is more of a room aesthetic first type product which makes some compromises on picture quality

Currently looking to upgrade from the 55 TCL Series 6 QLED. That only does 1440 at 120hz. Its a good tv but I want better. Trying to find the sweet spot between low input lag, good brightness, and fluid motion without gimmicks. Any recs?!
TL;DR version is the G1 is nothing like the Frame. It's called gallery because it sits flush against the wall, not due to any relation to an art gallery. If you want to sacrifice picture quality for artwork functionality, the frame is your only option as no one else makes something similar.

If the entire screen is displaying bright light, the limiter kicks in which reduces the HDR brightness tested in these ratings. In most cases, sun flares or similar bright spots appear vibrant on the G1.

The LG G1 OLED is an amazing flagship 4k OLED TV. It comes with LG's new evo panel, which aims to increase brightness compared to typical OLED panels. It provides a significant improvement over its predecessor, the LG GX OLED, in HDR content, but there's not much of a difference in SDR content. The TV has a unique slim design meant to sit flush against the wall with its dedicated wall mount, and it doesn't come with a stand. It delivers the same exceptional picture quality as other OLEDs with a near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. It's packed with gaming features like variable refresh rate (VRR) support, four HDMI 2.1 inputs, and a near-instant response time for a smooth gaming experience. Unfortunately, OLEDs risk permanent burn-in, which could be a problem if you constantly watch the same content with static elements, like leaving it on the same news channel all day, but we don't expect it to be an issue if you watch varied content.
8.9/10 Mixed Usage
The LG G1 OLED is an amazing overall TV. It delivers stunning picture quality for dark room viewing because of its near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. It's also good to use in well-lit rooms for watching sports or TV shows as it has fantastic reflection handling, and the wide viewing angles make it suitable for wide seating areas. HDR content looks amazing as it displays a wide color gamut and has decent HDR peak brightness, enough to make highlights stand out. Gamers should appreciate the variable refresh rate (VRR) support and HDMI 2.1 inputs. Unfortunately, it has the risk of permanent burn-in, so it may not be the best choice to use solely as a PC monitor.
PROS
- Near-infinite contrast ratio for perfect blacks.
- FreeSync, G-SYNC, and HDMI Forum VRR support.
- 120Hz panel with four HDMI 2.1 inputs.
- HDR brightness better than most OLEDs.
