LG Electronics unveiled a new organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV with a thickness in the 9 mm range—about as thin as a pencil. The company positioned the product as a key exhibit at CES 2026, the world's largest IT and home appliance show, running in Las Vegas from the 6th to the 9th (local time).
LG Electronics held "The Preview," a media product showcase, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on the 4th, two days before CES 2026 opens, to introduce this year's new TV lineup.
Among the new TVs revealed, the wireless wallpaper TV "LG OLED evo W6" drew the most attention. In 2017, LG Electronics launched the world's first wallpaper TV, "LG Signature OLED TV W," focused on ultra-thin design. The OLED evo W6 inherits that concept while delivering diverse AI features and high picture quality.
The company said, "With a design in the 9 mm range and high picture quality, the product can 'complete your own gallery,'" adding, "By leading with the 2026 'LG OLED evo' lineup—including the wireless wallpaper TV—that achieves unrivaled picture quality via a cutting-edge AI processor, we will strengthen our leadership in the premium TV market."
◇ Thin but "sharp" picture quality… also features anti-reflection technology
To achieve the OLED evo W6's thin profile, LG Electronics applied "ultra-slimming technology" to all components from the panel to the power board, mainboard, and speakers. This enables a look and feel as if the TV is completely flush with the wall.
Wireless transmission is also a strength. The product displays 4K resolution video at a 165 Hz refresh rate on screen without a cable connection. This is the first time a TV has delivered video and audio of this level wirelessly. The company said, "Even in a wireless setup that eliminates cable connections between the TV and external devices, users can smoothly enjoy high-quality content and games," adding, "The 'Zero Connect Box' for hooking up peripherals like set-top boxes is 35% smaller than on previous wireless TVs, blending in better with installation environments."
In addition to the W6, the "OLED evo" series includes models such as the G6 and C6. LG Electronics applied the picture-quality enhancement technology "Hyper Radiant Color" to most products in this lineup (excluding the 97-inch G6 and supporting only the 83- and 77-inch C6). Based on this, it received "Perfect Black • Perfect Color" certification from global certifier UL Solutions.
This year's premium TVs feature the "α11 AI Processor 4K Gen3." The third-generation α11, an OLED picture and sound processor, supports "dual super upscaling," which handles two AI upscaling processes (technology that upgrades low-resolution video to high resolution using AI). With Neural Processing Unit (NPU) performance 5.6 times faster than the previous generation, it maintains clean picture quality even through rapid scene changes, the company said. Graphics processing performance is also up 70%. The screen is up to 3.9 times brighter than a standard OLED TV (B6 model).
The "Reflection Free Premium" technology, which reduces reflectance for a crisp picture, is also applied. Unlike anti-glare, which disperses on-screen light to reduce reflections, anti-reflection extinguishes the light itself. The company said, "It delivers perfect black and color in any environment," adding, "We also equipped an ultra-low-reflection display that, for the first time in the industry, earned Reflection Free Premium certification from global testing and certification organization Intertek." Among the 2026 OLED evo models, this certified display is applied to the W6 and the G6 in 83-, 77-, 65- and 55-inch sizes.
◇ LG smart TV platform adds Google AI model after Microsoft
LG Electronics also unveiled its proprietary smart TV platform "webOS26," which will be loaded onto this year's TVs. In addition to Microsoft's AI model Copilot, it added Google's Gemini to further advance personalized artificial intelligence (AI) search. LG Electronics built an environment where users can choose the AI engine as needed. It revamped the "five core AI features," including AI search, ▲ AI Concierge ▲ AI Chatbot ▲ AI Picture • Sound Wizard ▲ Voice ID, to better reflect user preferences.
webOS won an innovation award at CES 2026. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which organizes CES, presents this award to entries that demonstrate outstanding technology after a separate evaluation. It won in cybersecurity for two consecutive years as of last year, and this year it also received an innovation award in AI. LG Electronics is supporting broader access to the latest features through the "webOS Renew Program."
Park Hyeong-se, head of the MS Business Division (president) at LG Electronics, said, "By delivering the more advanced LG OLED evo lineup—highlighted by the wallpaper TV W6 that fuses 13 years of accumulated OLED expertise and true wireless transmission technology with form factor innovation—we will offer the most innovative viewing experience to customers worldwide."
