LG used CES 2026 to debut a refreshed TV lineup led by the return of its ultra-thin “Wallpaper” OLED, alongside an upgraded Gallery series and a new Micro RGB display technology.
The new Wallpaper TV, known as the LG W6, is an OLED set that mounts nearly flush to the wall and is roughly as thin as a pencil. In a CES preview, the 100-inch model appeared extremely slim, emphasizing its design as much as its picture quality.
To simplify installation, the W6 requires only a single power cable. All audio and video connections are routed through LG’s external One Connect box, which can be placed wirelessly up to 10 meters away from the screen.
The W6 combines LG’s latest OLED hardware and processing features, including:
- Hyper Radiant Color for deeper blacks and more accurate colors.
- Brightness Booster Ultra, which LG says increases peak brightness up to 3.9 times compared with conventional OLED panels.
- A reflection-free screen designed to cut down on glare.
Inside, the Alpha 9 Gen 3 processor and an integrated NPU handle upscaling and other image enhancements. The TV also supports access to generative AI assistants such as Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini.
LG is also pushing its Gallery TV line more directly against Samsung’s Frame series. The 2026 Gallery models were developed with input from museum curators, according to LG, to help the built-in Gallery Mode tune brightness and contrast for artworks.
The Gallery sets ship with magnetic, frame-like bezels and use anti-reflective screens to better mimic framed art on a wall. Unlike LG’s flagship OLEDs, these models rely on Mini LED panels, a choice aimed at reducing the risk of image retention when displaying static images for long periods.
In person, the Gallery TVs present a convincing art-display mode, though their color and contrast performance remains a step below LG’s top-tier OLED ranges when showing films and TV content.
At the higher end of LCD-based displays, LG is introducing Micro RGB, a technology built on Mini LED backlighting that targets a much wider color gamut. It should not be confused with Micro LED, the self-emissive and currently far more expensive display technology seen in some concept and commercial signage products.
LG had already announced its first Micro RGB TV before CES, but the company brought a 100-inch demo unit to the show floor. During a series of demo clips, the Micro RGB screen produced highly saturated colors and detailed, lifelike imagery.
On paper, OLED still has an advantage in absolute contrast and black levels because each pixel can switch off completely. Micro RGB, however, appears to significantly raise color performance for Mini LED sets, offering a large-screen alternative for buyers who prioritize size and brightness over perfect blacks.
The advances showcased in the Wallpaper TV will also filter into LG’s broader OLED lineup. The G6 series is set to inherit the new panel enhancements and processing, with visibly higher brightness and more impactful HDR than G-series OLEDs from a few years ago. The C6 and other ranges are also slated for incremental picture-quality updates.
CES 2026 runs from January 4 to January 9 in Las Vegas, where TV makers are using the show to preview their latest display technologies and set the direction for living-room screens in the coming year.
