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 about
00:42nine millimeters thin. Like, this is not even a real TV thin. I'm impressed by how I'm looking at it
00:48from
00:48off angles, and it seems to disappear into this glass. LG completely re-engineered the internal so
00:56the 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
01:41OLED that
01:41features hyper-radiant color. That's the big upgrade, which is brighter this year. And this is basically the
01:47next evolution of its famous OLED stack. The big claim? Up to 3.9 times brighter than conventional
01:55OLED. The upgrade is how LG is balancing brightness, color, and black levels without killing contrast or
02:01accuracy. The hope is that this is the kind of TV that delivers perfect blacks, perfect colors, but with
02:07now much lower screen reflection that you get on most LG OLEDs. In fact, LG says this panel has the
02:14lowest
02:15reflectance of any LG TV ever, which is a huge deal if you've ever tried to watch OLED in a
02:21bright room.
02:21This might be one of those upgrades that you can't fully appreciate unless you see it next to last
02:26year's models, but let me tell you, it is there. There's also a processor upgrade that actually
02:32really matters this year. Powering this W6 and the G6 and C6 is the new Alpha 11 AI processor Gen
02:393.
02:39One of the key upgrades is the dual AI engine that instead of choosing between noise reduction or
02:46detail, the processor runs both at the same time. Translation, cleaner images without any of that
02:51weird oversharpening. While you're here, I'll talk quickly about some of the other features that
02:56you're getting with LG's OLED lineup this year. If you're a gamer, LG of course prioritizes you 4K at 165
03:04hertz, Nvidia G-Sync 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 but make it
03:17look like it belongs in a museum. WebOS is also back with even more personalization. We have a voice ID
03:23and personalized home screens and your AI concierge that's compatible with both Gemini and Copilot. You
03:30have the choice of both baked in. All of it is wrapped in LG shield, which is LG recognizing that
03:36people
03:36care a lot about the security of any device connected to the internet that's in their homes.
03:43Okay, but let's go back to the wallpaper TV because it's not just about specs flexing. It's about form
03:50finally meaning function for the wallpaper OLED that we have been promised and are now actually getting.
03:56I think it felt back then that it was a concept that arrived just a little too early, but now
04:01with
04:01wireless connectivity, higher brightness, lower reflection, and LG's best processing yet, it could
04:07actually make sense as a real living room TV. Pricing will absolutely matter and according to LG, it's just
04:15sitting one step above the G6 and that price should reflect. If you recall, the OG wallpaper was $30,000.
04:23That won't be the case here. You know, maybe this is something that we're actually going to be able
04:27to recommend and put on our best list this year. Either way, this is the OLED to beat out of
04:32CES and
04:33LG's way, in my opinion, of reminding us why it's been the OLED leader for the last 13 years.
04:40So this has been the LG OLED EVO W6 wallpaper TV. I want to know what you guys think in
04:46the comments,
04:47because I happen to think it looks pretty incredible. But that is it for this episode of Tom's Guide to
04:53CES
04:532026. I will catch you next time.
