A shocking Wallpaper set, wonderful Micro RGB colours and a greater Gallery TV

LG often proclaims its CES TV lineup properly forward of the present, however this 12 months the corporate had a shock at CES 2026: The return of its ultra-thin “Wallpaper” TV. Now it is toting a stunning OLED display screen and wi-fi connectivity, and it is about as skinny as a pencil. We obtained an opportunity to take a look at the Wallpaper TV in motion throughout a CES preview occasion, in addition to the beforehand introduced Gallery and Micro RGB units. LG nonetheless has its usually OLED and LED units round, however it’s clear that 2026 shall be full of intriguing TVs for quite a lot of shoppers.

The Wallpaper TV (LG W6)

If cash have been no object, I would desire a 100-inch LG Wallpaper TV in my household room instantly. It seems shockingly skinny in individual — nearly as if it is some kind of sci-fi prop — and it delivers the wealthy colours and darkish ranges we count on from OLED. Cable administration can also be a cinch, because it requires only a single energy cable. The A/V inputs are dealt with by LG’s One Join field, which you’ll place wirelessly as much as 10 meters away from the TV.

The LG W6 combines the very best of LG’s OLED expertise, together with “Hyper Radiant Shade” for improved black ranges and colour, “Brightness Booster Extremely” to crank up luminance 3.9 occasions greater than typical OLEDs and a mirrored image free display screen materials. LG’s Alpha 9 Gen 3 processor beefs up its efficiency, and its NPU additionally helps to enhance upscaling and total picture efficiency. (And sure, you can too entry generative AI options by way of Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini, when you’re into that kind of factor.)

All of that provides as much as one of the exceptional TVs I’ve seen in years. I have not been too enamored with different TV gimmicks these days, like every thing attempting to imitate Samsung’s The Body, or the usless 8K units. However a super-thin wi-fi TV with the very best OLED panel out there? That is the stuff goals are product of.

The Gallery TV competes with Samsung’s Body

Whereas LG has made Gallery TVs earlier than, in 2026 it’s making a more concerted effort to tackle Samsung’s standard Body TV. LG says the brand new units have been designed with the assistance of museum curators, which helps the “Gallery Mode” alter brightness and distinction to particular artistic endeavors. Additionally they ship with magnetic frame-like bezels, they usually have anti-reflective screens to assist make the artwork shine.

In individual, the brand new Gallery TV seems nice, although it is easy to inform that the colours and distinction ranges do not match LG’s premium OLED TVs. To keep away from burn-in points, these units characteristic Mini LED panels. As I famous above, I am not the core shopper for one among these TVs, however it’s good to see extra competitors in opposition to Samsung’s Body TVs. (Regardless of pioneering the concept of TVs displaying artwork, the Body units are nonetheless pretty mediocre in terms of truly watching TV exhibits and flicks.)

Micro RGB seems like a real Mini LED improve

As if we would have liked extra TV acronyms to fret about, say good day to Micro RGB, a brand new expertise constructed atop Mini LED to cowl vastly extra colour vary. Simply do not confuse it with Micro LED, which is the wildly costly evolutionary step ahead for OLED. LG already announced its Micro RGB set a couple of weeks in the past, however that did not put together me for standing in entrance of the 100-inch demo TV it delivered to CES. All through quite a lot of clips, colours seemed splendidly wealthy, and the general texture of the photographs seemed surprisingly life-like.

I would have to check it to LG’s Wall TV side-by-side to really see how Micro RGB competes with OLED, however technically OLED ought to nonetheless provide higher distinction and black ranges, since every of its pixels are self-emissive. However certain, if I could not get a 100-inch Wall TV in my household room, I actually would not flip down an infinite Micro RGB.

What about LG’s different OLED TVs?

The entire next-generation OLED expertise within the wallpaper TV may even make its manner into LG’s G6 OLED fashions, whereas the brand new C6 and different strains will see enhancements of their very own. All I can say is that the brand new G6 OLED seemed spectacular, with a noticeably brighter image and HDR parts in comparison with G-series OLEDs from a number of years in the past.
