Not much thicker than an iPhone, the premium LG OLED TV in 2026 is thin, solid, and comes with improvements to colour.
If it seems like TVs can’t get any thinner, you may want to think again. LG seems destined to challenge any preconceived notions that TVs are thin enough, at least based on what’s happening over at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
Launched at the world’s biggest technology show, and a veritable preview of the year in tech to come, LG has pulled the covers off another idea aimed at impressing wildly, and it’s not just another big TV. It’s another thin TV.
It’s actually a return to an idea LG had a few years ago: a wallpaper TV.
Launched back in 2017, the wallpaper OLED showed off a super thin TV. Now in 2026, LG’s wallpaper TV will cut the cords and remove the wires, as the company uses its Zero Connect box with a super thin OLED screen to make it appear as if it’s floating in air. It’s. The same technology LG used on its pricey transparent OLED TV, but without the transparent screen.
To do this, LG has reportedly needed to rework the internal architecture and bring with a new wall mount to make the screen sit flush with a wall.
That’s what’s coming in the LG OLED Evo W6, a reinvention of the wallpaper screen as a flagship screen, and one that will see a few upgrades.
Granted, the new screen isn’t as slim as the 6mm display that launched a few years ago, but at 9mm, it’s not much thicker, and won’t be far off hanging the thickness of an iPhone 17 Pro Max against your wall.
However, it does include a new brightness technology to boost the luminance by almost four times, a technology called “Hyper Radiant Colour Technology”, and sees the screen using one of LG’s Alpha processors, the same chip being used on the FlexConnect Dolby Atmos speaker system also being announced this year.
Support for both major game syncing technologies are here, covering Nvidia’s G-Sync and AMD’s FreeSync, supporting refresh rates of 4K at 165Hz, and there’s even support for the Gallery+ service LG is launching on its lifestyle art gallery inspired TV, as well.
What you won’t find is a price or even a size list, but we suspect both won’t be far away. Eventually.
