At CES 2026, LG is attacking the TV market from all sides. LG’s already announced that it’s upgrading Mini-LED TVs in 2026 with new Micro RGB technology, and now it says that its OLED lineup will once again include a W-Series model for the first time since 2019.
Meet the LG OLED evo W6 — a.k.a. The LG Wallpaper TV.
Like the LG OLED evo M5 unveiled at last year’s CES, the W6 model will use the Zero Connect Box to beam information from up to 10 meters (30 feet) away. However, what sets the W6 apart from its predecessor is that it will include new backlight technology (dubbed Hyper Radiant Color Technology) for improved black levels, color vibrancy, and brightness, plus a newly designed anti-reflective screen.
Brighter and thinner than ever
To stand out from the crowd — a real challenge considering what we've already seen from the likes of Samsung and Hisense — LG says the W6 Wallpaper TV will be thinner and brighter than any OLED it has ever made.
According to LG, the W6 is just 9mm thick. On average, that’s thinner than the LG G5 OLED and LG C5 OLED from 2025, though the latter does have part of its screen that’s 6.35mm thick — a hair thinner than the W6.
In terms of brightness, LG claims the W6 is up to 3.9 times brighter than "conventional OLEDs." In HDR, last year's LG B5 OLED reached around 600 nits in Standard mode in Tom's Guide's lab tests. A 3.9x increase would put the W6 Series at around 2,340 nits in a 10% window in Standard HDR, which does seem plausible considering the LG G5 reached almost 1,900 nits in the same test.
Of course, better brightness and thinner screens usually comes at a cost — usually to the tune of several thousand dollars. The good news is that LG told our Global Editor-in-Chief Mark Spoonauer that the W6 won't be much more than the G Series OLED.
Considering the 65-inch W7 launched back in 2017 for $7,999 and the 77-inch model came in at an eye-watering $19,999, this is very good news.
The W6 will likely be joined by other OLED models (more on that tomorrow), so stay tuned to Tom's Guide for all the latest LG news out of CES 2026.
