At CES 2026, LG Electronics is officially bringing back one of its most ambitious ideas with the LG OLED evo W6 True Wireless Wallpaper TV—a modern revival of the ultra-thin Wallpaper TV concept first introduced in 2017. Now measuring just 9mm thin, the W6 pairs its minimalist, wall-hugging design with True Wireless connectivity and LG’s newest picture platform, Hyper Radiant Color Technology, which anchors the company’s entire 2026 OLED evo lineup. After 13 consecutive years of OLED leadership, LG is clearly signaling that design bravado and display innovation are once again on the same page.
The team got a sneak peek at LG’s new OLED evo W6 at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. While final pricing hasn’t been confirmed, LG representatives told us the W6 is expected to carry roughly a $500–$1,000 premium over the company’s flagship 2026 OLED models. At launch, the OLED evo W6 is slated to be available in 77-inch and 83-inch screen sizes.
W6 isn’t being positioned as a spec-sheet brawler yet; it’s being framed as a statement piece, a reminder that LG still knows how to stop traffic on the show floor before the numbers even matter.
LG’s 2017 Wallpaper TV Set the Blueprint
Long before “wireless” became the headline feature, LG Electronics rewrote the rules for TV design with the SIGNATURE OLED TV W-series (W7) in 2017. Measuring an almost absurd 2.57mm thin, the original Wallpaper TV was less than half the thickness of an iPhone 7 and roughly equivalent to 50 sheets of paper. This wasn’t a TV that preferred the wall—it required it. A special magnetic wall mount made the Picture-on-Wall concept mandatory, as the panel simply wasn’t rigid enough to stand on its own without warping.
The W7 paired its radical form factor with flagship performance for the time. Built on LG’s OLED pixel-level dimming technology, it delivered true blacks with no light leakage, effectively limitless contrast, and support for over one billion colors. Brightness was handled by Ultra Luminance, while HDR support covered nearly every format that mattered in 2017, including Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, and Advanced HDR by Technicolor, along with an HDR Effect mode to enhance standard dynamic range content.
That original W7 wasn’t practical for everyone—but it wasn’t meant to be. It was a design statement, and more importantly, the conceptual foundation for today’s OLED evo W6. Where the 2017 model proved how thin OLED could go, the new Wallpaper TV builds on that legacy with modern wireless connectivity, higher brightness, and fewer compromises—finally turning a bold idea into something closer to a complete system.
LG OLED evo W6
Leading LG’s 2026 OLED lineup is the LG OLED evo W6, a TV designed to disappear into the room while leaving the viewing experience front and center. With a 9mm-thin profile, the W6 achieves its Wallpaper Design through extensive miniaturization and a complete rethinking of its internal layout, allowing LG to reduce bulk without compromising rigidity or build quality. An updated wall-mounting system enables the panel to sit flush against the wall from edge to edge, reinforcing the illusion of a TV that behaves more like a surface than a device.
LG’s True Wireless approach is key to making that design possible. All physical connections are housed in the Zero Connect Box, which can be placed up to 10 meters away, keeping cables and clutter far from the display itself. Video and audio are transmitted wirelessly to the panel, allowing the W6 to maintain its ultra-thin form factor while still supporting visually lossless 4K signal delivery.
The result is a TV that prioritizes form without retreating on performance. The OLED evo W6 demonstrates that extreme thinness no longer requires trade-offs in image quality, pairing its minimalist design with LG’s flagship OLED picture performance and positioning itself as the world’s thinnest True Wireless OLED TV—a statement piece intended to be seen, and not seen, at the same time.
Hyper Radiant Color Technology Powers LG’s Brightest, Least Reflective OLED Yet
At the core of LG’s 2026 OLED strategy is Hyper Radiant Color Technology, a new display platform designed to push brightness, color accuracy, and black performance forward while meaningfully reducing screen reflections. According to LG Electronics, the goal isn’t just more light output—it’s preserving OLED’s defining strengths in real-world viewing environments, including bright rooms where reflections have historically dulled the experience.
In the OLED evo W6, this technology enables LG’s brightest Wallpaper TV to date. Paired with Brightness Booster Ultra, the panel is rated at up to 3.9 times the luminance of conventional OLED displays, giving highlights more impact without washing out color or shadow detail. To keep that added brightness under control, LG has engineered a new screen surface with the lowest reflectance of any LG TV, earning an industry-first Reflection Free Premium certification from Intertek. The result is an OLED that maintains contrast and clarity even in well-lit rooms, without the mirror-like glare that can plague ultra-thin panels.
These gains don’t come at the expense of OLED fundamentals. The W6 continues to deliver Perfect Blacks and Perfect Colors, performance benchmarks verified by UL Solutions, now with fewer visual distractions. Driving these improvements is the new α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen3, which features a Neural Processing Unit claimed to be 5.6 times more powerful than its predecessor. Its Dual AI Engine runs parallel processing paths—one focused on noise reduction, the other on preserving texture—avoiding the overly smoothed or artificially sharp look that often comes with aggressive image processing.
LG Gallery+: Turning the Wallpaper TV into a Design Element
Beyond pure picture performance, LG is leaning hard into lifestyle integration with LG Gallery+, a content and display platform aimed at design-conscious users. Available across LG’s TV lineup, including the Wallpaper TV, Gallery+ allows the screen to function as a customizable visual element when not in active use. Users can access more than 4,500 curated visuals, ranging from cinematic imagery and game-inspired graphics to personal photo libraries and Generative AI–created artwork.
With optional mood-matching background music, Gallery+ turns the OLED evo W6 into more than a TV—it becomes part of the room’s aesthetic. It’s a clear signal that LG sees the Wallpaper TV not just as a display, but as a flexible design surface that adapts to how people live, decorate, and use their space.
Advanced Gaming and AI Features Round Out LG’s 2026 OLED Platform
LG is continuing its push in the gaming TV space with features aimed at players who care about responsiveness and motion clarity. The LG OLED evo W6, along with the broader 2026 OLED evo lineup, supports 4K at up to 165Hz, alongside NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium support. These technologies are designed to reduce tearing and stutter during fast-paced gameplay. LG also cites a 0.1ms pixel response time, Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and variable refresh rate support, positioning the Wallpaper TV as capable of handling both console and PC gaming demands without additional configuration.
Beyond performance, LG is placing greater emphasis on personalization through its webOS smart TV platform. New Voice ID functionality allows the TV to recognize individual users by voice and automatically switch to a personalized home screen, complete with preferred apps, content recommendations, and widgets. The idea is continuity—content and settings follow the viewer, even when multiple people share the same TV.
LG is also expanding its Multi-AI framework, integrating Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot to support natural language queries and contextual responses. These tools are designed to assist with content discovery and general questions without pulling users out of what they’re watching. The updated AI Concierge adds contextual features such as “In This Scene,” which provides cast information and related content on demand, with optional AI-generated imagery layered into the experience.
To support this growing level of personalization, LG is introducing LG Shield, a security framework recognized with a CES 2026 Innovation Award. LG Shield is designed to protect user data through encryption and system-level safeguards, reinforcing LG’s position that personalization and privacy need to advance together—not at each other’s expense.
The Bottom Line
With the LG OLED evo W6, LG is reviving its audacious Wallpaper TV concept for 2026 with True Wireless connectivity, a 9mm thin design, and Hyper Radiant Color Technology that anchors the entire OLED evo lineup. It’s being positioned as a design-first flagship, blending extreme thinness with LG’s brightest, least-reflective OLED performance to date, along with full support for next-gen gaming and AI-driven personalization.
