LG Electronics is set to officially showcase its line of OLED televisions for 2026 in the coming days during the CES fair. However, before the manufacturer had the chance to reveal the details, marketing materials showing the flagship models LG OLED G6 and LG OLED W6 have surfaced online.
New “Hyper Radiant” Tandem WOLED OLED Panel
The biggest novelty in both models is expected to be the completely new Hyper Radiant Tandem WOLED OLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 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 are set to exceed 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 earlier generation panels, which is intended to further highlight the differences between the mid-range and high-end models. The LG OLED G6 model will retain the distinctive gallery design, allowing it to be mounted almost perfectly flat against the wall. The television is to be available in sizes 48, 55, 65, 77, 83, and 97 inches, which are exactly the same as those offered by the previous generation.
Better coating, new α11 AI processor and HDR formats
LG is also set to introduce a reinforced anti-reflective coating, which reduces light reflections and enhances black depth in bright rooms. Image processing will be managed by the new α11 AI processor, which is said to provide 5.6 times higher AI computing performance.
Both 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 televisions also in terms of gaming.
LG OLED W6 – the return of the "wallpaper" television
The model LG OLED W6 is causing quite a stir, especially since in 2025 LG did not release any televisions from the W series. It is worth noting that the LG W5 won the CES 2025 Innovation Award, even though it ultimately never made it to stores. Everything suggests that the W6 is an extension of this concept and a real return to the idea of an ultra-thin, wall-mounted OLED.
Zero Connect, ultra-thin design and the future of OLEDs
LG OLED W6 expands on the Zero Connect concept – all HDMI and USB ports are placed in a separate module that communicates with the television wirelessly, allowing only one power cable to run to the screen. The model will be available only in sizes 77 and 83 inches. The panel itself is just 9.9 mm thick, making the W6 the thinnest OLED television in LG's history. The new mounting system allows for installation almost perfectly flush with the wall. If leaks are confirmed, LG OLED G6 and W6 could set a new standard for brightness, smoothness, and design in the premium OLED segment in 2026, with full details to be revealed at CES 2026.
