LG Electronics has revived its Wallpaper TV at CES 2026, introducing the OLED evo W6, a flagship display that pushes the boundaries of design and visual performance with an ultra-thin form factor of just 9mm, and incorporates advanced picture technology.
Originally launched in 2017 and paused in subsequent years, the Wallpaper series returns with performance and convenience upgrades that aim to appeal to both design-minded homeowners and cinephiles alike.
The W6’s OLED panel sits almost flush against the wall, creating a near-invisible aesthetic that blends seamlessly into minimalist interiors. All video and HDMI inputs connect wirelessly via LG’s Zero Connect Box, which can be placed up to 10 metres away, eliminating cable clutter while keeping the display itself free of bulky ports.
Beyond picture quality, the W6 supports high refresh rates of up to 165Hz and includes gaming-focused features such as NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. It runs LG’s latest webOS smart TV platform, offering access to major streaming services alongside LG’s Gallery+ mode, which allows the TV to display curated artwork and ambient visuals when not in active use.
Key upgrades lie in LG’s latest OLED evo panel technology, paired with enhanced brightness processing. The Wallpaper TV delivers significantly stronger luminance than earlier OLED models, improving HDR highlights and making content more visible in everyday lighting conditions while retaining OLED’s trademark contrast and black levels using LG’s Hyper Radiant Colour Technology and Brightness Booster Ultra.
Overseeing these visual advancements is the new α11 AI Processor Gen3, featuring a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that LG says is 5.6 times more powerful than its predecessors. This increase in computing power enables the Wallpaper’s new Dual AI Engine that runs algorithms in parallel to deliver a balanced image that retains natural detail while eliminating over-sharpening.
What makes the Wallpaper TV stand out is its combination of form factor and wireless installation. Unlike conventional premium TVs that still rely on visible cables and thicker chassis designs, the W6 is designed to look more like a piece of wall art than consumer electronics. The wireless connection box further reinforces this clean aesthetic while maintaining full HDMI connectivity.
The Wallpaper TV is aimed at design-conscious buyers who want a large-screen display without compromising interior aesthetics. It also targets premium home cinema enthusiasts and gamers who want flagship OLED performance in a visually discreet setup. Available in 77-inch and 83-inch sizes, the new Wallpaper TV sits firmly at the high end of LG’s 2026 TV lineup, prioritising visual integration as much as picture quality.
