I got to see LG’s latest TV lineup today at CES 2026, and holy cow, they are some pretty TVs.
The first TV I saw that blew me away was the LG OLED evo W6, True Wireless Wallpaper TV. It seems like a TV designed for people who love watching TVs, but don’t want to compromise on the aesthetic of their living room.
It’s ridiculously thin at 9.5mm; LG claims it’s thinner than a pencil. While I’m sure there are some pretty dummy thicc pencils out there, the standard #2 pencil is around 6-7mm thick. But that’s still very close! It’s extremely impressive.
At the LG booth, the Wallpaper TV was flush-mounted to a custom glass wall so attendees could enjoy both the gorgeous screen part (which looked spectacularly crisp) and the flat back, which only has a power cord protruding from it.
In the box of the retail version, though, there will be a flush wall mount included to achieve a similar look. The brains of the TV live in a Zero Connect box, which wirelessly transmits 4K pictures at 165Hz with a 0.1 millisecond pixel response time.
Comparing LG’s Micro RGB and OLED TVs
Other TVs on the booth included LG’s new Micro RGB TV. OLED is still the focus for LG, as the company believes it has better light control with the technology it originally perfected. But with the rise of Micro RGB technology from other brands, LG must also have an offering.
For what it’s worth, I was particularly blown away by how red the red was on the Micro RGB evo AI TV. The colour is just so rich. The TV is driven by the same advanced A11 AI processor that’s in the OLED evo TVs, and the big headline there is that LG is calling the A11 a dual AI engine, which is able to reduce noise and upscale textures at the same time.
LG does have a point about the benefits of OLED over Micro RGB, given Micro RGB has thousands of dimming zones, and OLED has the equivalent of millions. However, side by side, I thought the red in particular was more vibrant on the Micro RGB, though the blacks were marginally blacker on the OLED.
The new top-end OLED evo TVs now have four times as much brightness as the base model, making them better suited to bright rooms. Another update across the range is that the TVs now have both Copilot and Google Gemini, so users have more options to ask their TV questions about what’s on their screens.
The new range of TVs will be coming to Australia later this year, with prices yet to be confirmed.
