LG makes some of the best TVs on the market. I’ve been using an LG C2 OLED for a few years and I’m still blown away by its picture quality every time I sit down to watch a movie or TV show. The company unveiled its W6 Wallpaper TV at CES 2026. With its slim design, wireless connection box and the ability to display artwork digitally, LG’s Wallpaper TV allows you to install a TV in your living room while maintaining a sleek setup that doesn’t, by default, make it the center of attention. In addition, improvements to its panel make it better suited to living rooms while theoretically maintaining excellent video quality.

As the name suggests, the W6 Wallpaper TV is ultra-thin at just 0.35 inches (9mm). It’s designed to sit against a wall, so if you’re wall-mounting your TV, it shouldn’t stick out too much. The LG W6 Wallpaper TV has a wireless connection box for audio/video inputs, like HDMI ports, that can be placed up to 30 feet away. So you can store your home theater devices (streaming devices, game consoles and 4K Blu-ray players) in a media cabinet for a clutter-free living room.

Despite the LG W6 Wallpaper TV’s wireless connectivity box, the company claims that it delivers visually lossless audio and 4K video. For gamers, the W6 Wallpaper can run games at up to 4K resolution with a super-fast 165Hz refresh rate and an ultra-low pixel response time of 0.1ms – if you have a PC capable of running high-resolution, high frame rate games, the W6 should be more than up to the task. Likewise, it should pair well with consoles such as the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

LG says the W6 is “reflection-free,” with the lowest reflectance of its 2026 panels. If you’re using the TV in your living room or another location with lots of ambient light, the W6 may be an improvement over previous LG OLEDs. The W6 is claimed to be 3.9 times brighter than the average OLED on the market, thanks to LG’s Brightness Booster Ultra and Hyper Radiant Color technology.

LG’s Gallery Plus service lets you display artwork on your TV. So you can use the app to make your wall-mounted TV look like a painting or photograph. Gallery Plus is a paid service, but a free lite version is available. The W6 Wallpaper TV is available in 77-inch and 83-inch variants.

On paper, the LG W6 Wallpaper TV seems to strike a balance to appease home theater enthusiasts who want a discreet installation in a living room or family room. Notably, LG also unveiled a Gallery TV, which aims to rival other art TVs such as Samsung’s Frame TV. But it’s a Mini-LED, not an OLED, so you might not get the best possible picture quality, even if it’s still solid.
