A stunning Wallpaper set, glorious Micro RGB colors and a better Gallery TV

LG usually announces its TV lineup ahead of the CES show, but this year the company has a surprise at CES 2026: the return of ultra-thin “wallpaper” TVs. Now it has a gorgeous OLED screen, wireless connectivity, and is only pencil thin. We had a chance to see the Wall TV in action during the CES preview event, along with the previously announced Gallery and Micro RGB kits. LG still retains its typical OLED and LED TVs, but it’s clear that 2026 will be filled with interesting TVs that appeal to a variety of consumers.

Wallpaper TV (LG W6)

If money were no object, I would put a 100-inch LG wallpaper TV in my family room immediately. It looks surprisingly thin – almost like some kind of sci-fi prop – and it delivers the rich colors and darkness we’ve come to expect from OLED. Cable management is also simple as it only requires one power cord. A/V input is handled by LG’s One Connect box, which you can place wirelessly up to 10 meters from the TV.

The LG W6 combines the best of LG’s OLED technologies, including “Hyper Radiant Color” that improves black levels and colors, “Brightness Booster Ultra” that boosts brightness up to 3.9 times that of traditional OLED, and non-reflective screen materials. LG’s Alpha 9 Gen 3 processor enhances its performance, and its NPU also helps improve image upscaling and overall image performance. (Yes, you can also access generative AI capabilities through Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini, if that’s your thing.)

It all adds up to some of the best television I’ve seen in years. I haven’t been too enamored with other TV gimmicks lately, like all the stuff trying to emulate Samsung’s The Frame, or the useless 8K TVs. But what about ultra-thin wireless TVs with the best OLED panels? This is what dreams are made of.

Gallery TV competes with Samsung Frame

While LG has made Gallery TVs before, in 2026 it will be trying harder to challenge Samsung’s popular Frame TVs. LG says the new set, designed with the help of museum curators, helps “gallery mode” adjust the brightness and contrast of specific artworks. They also feature magnetic frame-style borders and feature an anti-reflective screen to help make the artwork sparkle.

Personally, the new Gallery TV looks good, but it’s easy to see that the colors and contrast don’t match LG’s premium OLED TVs. To avoid screen burn-in issues, these kits come with Mini LED panels. As I mentioned above, I’m not a hardcore consumer of one of these TVs, but it would be nice to see more competition with the Samsung Frame TVs. (Although Frame pioneered the idea of ​​television showcasing art, it’s still pretty mediocre when it comes to actually watching TV shows and movies.)

Micro RGB looks like a real upgrade to Mini LED

As if we need any more TV acronyms to worry about, say hello to Micro RGB, a new technology built on Mini LED that covers a wider range of colors. Just don’t confuse it with Micro LED, which is an extremely expensive evolutionary step forward from OLED. LG announced Micro RGB TVs a few weeks ago, but nothing prepared me for standing in front of the 100-inch demo TV it showed off at CES. Colors look very rich in the various clips, and the overall texture of the image looks very realistic.

I’d have to do a side-by-side comparison with LG’s Wall TV to really see how Micro RGB stacks up against OLED, but technically OLED should still offer better contrast and black levels since each of its pixels is self-illuminating. But of course I wouldn’t turn down a huge Micro RGB if I couldn’t find a 100-inch wall-mounted TV in my family room.

What about LG’s other OLED TVs?

All the next-generation OLED technology found in Wallpaper TVs will also make its way to LG’s G6 OLED models, while the new C6 and other ranges will also get their own improvements. All I can say is that compared to the G-series OLEDs from a few years ago, the new G6 OLEDs look impressive, with noticeably brighter images and HDR elements.
