LG Electronics is set to officially present its OLED television lineup for 2026 in the coming days at the CES trade show. However, before the manufacturer could reveal the details, marketing materials showcasing the flagship models LG OLED G6 and LG OLED W6 were leaked online.
New OLED panel "Hyper Radiant" Tandem WOLED
The biggest innovation in both models is set to be the completely new Hyper Radiant Tandem WOLED OLED panel with a refresh rate of 165 Hz. LG is once again raising the bar when it comes to brightness – although specific values have not yet been revealed, leaks suggest that the new models will surpass the current LG G5, which achieves up to 2500 nits of peak brightness.
Brightness Booster Ultra and gallery design
According to the revealed materials, the Hyper Radiant panel has been equipped with Brightness Booster Ultra technology, which is said to offer up to 3.9 times higher brightness compared to the upcoming LG OLED B6. The B series traditionally uses an earlier generation of panels, which is meant to further highlight the differences between models in the mid-range and high-end. The LG OLED G6 model will retain the distinctive gallery design, allowing it to be mounted almost perfectly flush against the wall. The television is expected to be available in sizes 48, 55, 65, 77, 83, and 97 inches, which are exactly the same sizes offered by the previous generation.
Better coating, new α11 AI processor and HDR formats
LG is set to implement an enhanced anti-reflective coating, reducing light reflections and improving black depth in bright rooms. Image processing will be handled by the new α11 AI processor, which according to announcements provides 5.6 times higher AI computing performance.
Both the G6 and W6 are expected to offer:
165 Hz refresh rate,
Dolby Vision HDR (without Dolby Vision 2),
Google Cast and Apple AirPlay 2,
HDMI Auto Low-Latency Mode,
AMD FreeSync Premium Pro,
Nvidia G-Sync.
This makes them some of the most advanced OLED TVs also for gaming.
LG OLED W6 – return of the “wallpaper” television
The LG OLED W6 model is generating significant interest, especially since in 2025, LG did not release any television from the W series. It is worth recalling that the LG W5 won the CES 2025 Innovation Award, even though it ultimately never made it to stores. Everything indicates that the W6 is an evolution of this concept and a genuine return to the idea of an ultra-thin, wall-mounted OLED.
Zero Connect, ultra-thin design and the future of OLEDs
LG OLED W6 develops the concept of Zero Connect – all HDMI and USB ports are placed in a separate module that communicates with the television wirelessly, allowing only one power cable to lead to the screen. The model is set to be available only in 77 and 83 inches. The panel itself is merely 9.9 mm thick, making the W6 the thinnest OLED television in LG's history. The new mounting system allows for installation almost flush with the wall. If the leaks are confirmed, LG OLED G6 and W6 could set a new standard for brightness, fluidity, and design in the premium OLED segment in 2026, with full details to be revealed during CES 2026.
