The biggest tech event of the year has come to a close, and while the industry’s leading TV brands didn’t announce all of their newest TVs at CES 2026, we’ve seen enough of their upcoming lineups to get the lay of the land. And, as it turns out, 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for what have come to be known as lifestyle TVs.
It’s an umbrella term for a relatively new class of TV that puts a particular emphasis on design. More specifically, lifestyle TVs are built to harmonize with the viewer’s life and living space, both aesthetically and functionally. The majority of these sets resemble framed, wall-mounted portraits — and they were everywhere at CES.
