00:00LG just brought back one of its most iconic TV launches ever. It's the wallpaper OLED Reborn.
00:08For 2026, it's called the LG W6, W for wireless, because it is truly wireless, making for this
00:16stunning effect that you see behind me right now. This is Tom's Guide to CES 2026. Let's get into
00:22the video. At least a couple of you guys who clicked on this video probably remember the
00:27original wallpaper TV from 2017. This is that idea, but the tech has finally caught up to a place where
00:35people can actually, you know, maybe afford this. This wallpaper TV, known in the lineup as W6, is
00:41about 9 millimeters thin. Like, this is not even a real TV thin. I'm impressed by how I'm looking at
00:48it from off angles, and it seems to disappear into this glass. LG completely re-engineered the internal
00:55so the panel can sit flush against the wall, edge to edge, with no visible gap. It's designed to
01:01disappear until you turn it on. And here's the key difference this time around. You don't have to
01:07deal with cables between the screen. All of your HDMI ports, consoles, streaming boxes, they live in
01:13LG's Zero Connect box, which can sit up to 10 meters away. LG calls this true wireless, and in practice,
01:20it means visually lossless 4k video, wireless audio, and zero ports ruining the illusion. You just need
01:27to run one little cable from the TV. Either way, this is hands down the cleanest OLED setup I have
01:33ever seen. So yes, this is LG OLED. This is the same panel that we're getting on the LG G6 OLED that
01:41features hyper-radiant color. That's the big upgrade, which is brighter this year. And this is
01:47basically the next evolution of its famous OLED stack. The big claim, up to 3.9 times brighter
01:54than conventional OLED. The upgrade is how LG is balancing brightness, color, and black levels
02:00without killing contrast or accuracy. The hope is that this is the kind of TV that delivers perfect
02:05blacks, perfect colors, but with now much lower screen reflection that you get on most LG OLEDs.
02:11In fact, LG says this panel has the lowest reflectance of any LG TV ever, which is a huge deal if you've
02:19ever tried to watch OLED in a bright room. This might be one of those upgrades that you can't
02:24fully appreciate unless you see it next to last year's models, but let me tell you, it is there.
02:29There's also a processor upgrade that actually really matters this year. Powering this W6 and the G6
02:36and C6 is the new Alpha 11 AI processor Gen 3. One of the key upgrades is the dual AI engine that
02:43instead of choosing between noise reduction or detail, the processor runs both at the same time.
02:49Translation, cleaner images without any of that weird over-sharpening.
02:53While you're here, I'll talk quickly about some of the other features that you're getting with LG's
02:58OLED lineup this year. If you're a gamer, LG of course prioritizes you. 4K at 165Hz,
03:04NVIDIA G-SYN compatible, ultra-low response time, and auto-low latency mode. Basically everything
03:10that we've come to expect from LG's flagship OLEDs for gaming and for the W6. Just that,
03:16but make it look like it belongs in a museum. WebOS is also back with even more personalization.
03:22We have a voice ID and personalized home screens and your AI concierge that's compatible with both
03:28Gemini and Copilot. You have the choice of both baked in. All of it is wrapped in LG Shield,
03:34which is LG recognizing that people care a lot about the security of any device connected to
03:40the internet that's in their homes. Okay, but let's go back to the wallpaper TV because it's not just
03:48about specs flexing. It's about form finally meaning function for the wallpaper OLED that we
03:54have been promised and are now actually getting. I think it felt back then that it was a concept
03:59that arrived just a little too early, but now with wireless connectivity, higher brightness,
04:04lower reflection, and LG's best processing yet, it could actually make sense as a real living room
04:10TV. Pricing will absolutely matter and according to LG, it's just sitting one step above the G6 and
04:17that price should reflect. If you recall, the OG wallpaper was $30,000. That won't be the case
04:24here. You know, maybe this is something that we're actually going to be able to recommend and put on
04:28our best list this year. Either way, this is the OLED to beat out of CES and LG's way, in my opinion,
04:35of reminding us why it's been the OLED leader for the last 13 years. So this has been the LG OLED Evo
04:42W6 Wallpaper TV. I want to know what you guys think in the comments because I happen to think
04:48it looks pretty incredible, but that is it for this episode of Tom's Guide to CES 2026. I will catch you
04:55next time.
