The dust has settled after the CES 2026 trade show in Las Vegas, and instead of writing in the heat of the moment under the glow of neon lights, we waited for the last specifications to come in. Thanks to excellent summaries, including those from the FlatpanelsHD editorial team, as well as our own behind-the-scenes conversations, we now have a complete picture of what LG has prepared for this year. And I'll tell you this: in 2026, LG is giving us a nostalgic journey into the future. The naming returns to its roots – after a decade, we will once again be buying models like B6 or C6. But don't worry, beyond the names, it's a totally new era of image quality.
Here’s everything you need to know about the LG 2026 lineup.
LG OLED 2026. All OLED models
LG OLED W6 2026 (Tandem OLED)
The heart of this year's flagships, the W6 and G6 models, is a completely new second-generation Tandem OLED matrix. LG Display has achieved the impossible here – the new panels are 20% brighter than last year's already powerful G5 model. When we compare these numbers with the basic B6 series, the difference becomes downright absurd: the flagship OLED 2026 can be nearly 4 times (exactly 3.9x) brighter than its budget brother.
Particular attention is drawn to the return of the W6 series (Wallpaper). LG has completely redesigned this model – forget about the bulky soundbar that ruined the minimalist effect in previous years. Now we get only an ultra-thin screen (0.9cm) and an external Zero Connect Box module, which wirelessly transmits a 4K/165Hz signal. Most importantly for the wallet, the W6 is expected to be priced much closer to the G6 series than before, although we will still pay the “luxury tax” with a limited choice of sizes – this model is available only in powerful diagonal sizes of 77 and 83 inches.
LG OLED G6 2026 (Tandem OLED)
The LG OLED G6 model is the direct successor to the Gallery series, which this year received not only the Tandem OLED panel but also a new, remarkable anti-reflective coating. It is designed to more effectively diffuse light in bright living rooms without degrading the blacks, which was a drawback of some matte screens from competitors.
However, we need to pay attention to the size labels. Although the G6 will be available in a wide range from 48 to as much as 97 inches, the "full-blood" Tandem OLED 2nd gen. panel (which is 20% brighter than the G5) will only be included in models sized from 55 to 83 inches. The 48-inch variants and the gigantic 97-inch model will stick to the older WOLED architecture, which is worth keeping in mind.
LG OLED C6H 2026 (Tandem OLED)
The biggest surprise of this year's lineup is not the most expensive models, but a completely new version of the well-known and liked C series – we are talking about LG OLED C6H (Hyper). This is a groundbreaking moment: for the first time in history, LG has decided to transfer its absolutely top technology to a mid-range model.
The C6H model is equipped with a Tandem OLED panel with specifications almost identical to those we admired in last year's flagship, the LG G5. This means that by purchasing the C series, we can expect performance that was reserved exclusively for the premium segment only a few months ago. However, there is one "catch" worth knowing before heading to the store: the "Hyper" variant with this powerful panel will only be available in large diagonals – 77 and 83 inches. If you are looking for cinematic experiences in XXL size, the C6H may turn out to be the most cost-effective choice of the year.
LG OLED C6 and C6S (WOLED)
What about smaller spaces? Don’t worry, LG has not forgotten about users looking for more standard sizes. The C6 and C6S models will be available in sizes from 42 to 65 inches. They are direct successors to the C5 line and although we will not find the Tandem panel here, the manufacturer promises a noticeable, albeit evolutionary, increase in brightness compared to their predecessors.
The biggest firecracker, however, is hidden inside the casing. This year, LG has blurred the lines of processor performance. Even in the "regular" C6 series, we find the most advanced image processor Alpha 11 AI Gen 3 – exactly the same one that powers flagship models like the G6 and W6. This is fantastic news, as it means that regardless of the chosen model, we receive:
Ultimate precision in upscaling and noise reduction enhanced by AI
Refresh rate of 165Hz when connected to a PC
Unmatched smoothness of the webOS system
The choice between the C6H and the standard C6 this year boils down to a simple question: do you have room for 77 inches and want the brightness of last year's flagship, or do you prefer a smaller screen but with the same powerful computing power.
LG OLED B6 and B6E
At the very bottom of the OLED TV ranking are the B6 and B6E models. This is a natural evolution of last year's B5 series and at the same time the cheapest entry ticket to the OLED world from LG for 2026. It will be available in a wide range of screen sizes from 48 up to 83 inches. Though the differences between the "E" version and the standard "six" remain a mystery for now, they will likely only come down to different sales channels and will not affect the image quality itself. However, as noted by FlatpanelsHD, the B series has received significant improvements in terms of gaming – instead of the previous 120 Hz, when connected to a powerful computer, we will now be able to enjoy 144 Hz refresh rates. Apart from this aspect, LG opted for proven solutions here, not introducing revolutionary changes in the construction of the base model. However, we will have to wait for our first tests to draw such conclusions.

Mini RGB - New MRGB Series
LG introduces a completely new category of televisions called Mini RGB. These are not ordinary screens with a filter – here, instead of white backlighting, LEDs emit directly in red, green, and blue colors.
MRGB95B
The most interesting model is the MRGB9M, which, despite being an LCD television, has received the flagship gadget – the Zero Connect Box. This means that the entire signal is transmitted to the screen wirelessly, which is an absolute rarity in this class of equipment. So if you're looking for the aesthetics of the "Wallpaper" series, but your budget or preferences lead you towards LCD technology, the MRGB9M could be an interesting alternative to the ChooseTV series W6.
MRGB9M and MRGB85B
However, the biggest curiosity mentioned by the editorial team at flatpanelsHD is that the MRGB9M and MRGB85B models will be based on edge-lit backlighting. What does this mean in practice? Instead of thousands of LEDs behind the panel, the light flows from the edges of the housing. This is a classic solution that LG has dressed in modern "Mini RGB" attire to emphasize the improvement in color reproduction. However, the main goal of this design is not to break contrast records, but design. Thanks to edge backlighting, the screens are supposed to be exceptionally slim. Although this is probably poor consolation considering the fact that edge backlighting is not the best solution when it comes to picture quality.
LG QNED 2026 and Gallery TV
Although all eyes are on OLEDs and mini RGB technology, LG is not giving up on the basic LCD model segment, refreshing its QNED line. In 2026, the QNED90B, QNED85B, and QNED82B models are a solid continuation of last year's series. Don't expect a revolution here, but rather an evolutionary refinement of familiar solutions. Importantly, all three will be powered by the new Alpha 8 Gen 3 processor, which is designed to provide even better image processing based on AI algorithms.
LG QNED90B: This is the only fully-fledged Mini-LED television in the lineup with a dense local dimming system.
LG QNED85B: Here things get interesting. This model also uses Mini-LED technology and quantum dot filters, but in an edge configuration.
LG QNED80B / QNED82B: These are entry-level models based on 60 Hz panels with edge-lit Mini-LED backlighting. They are typical "workhorses" for everyday television, focusing primarily on affordability in 2026.
ChooseTV LX7 Gallery
The biggest novelty in the non-OLED segment is the LX7 model, known as Gallery TV. This is a direct challenge to the popular Samsung The Frame. LG has opted for a specific strategy: style over parameters. The LX7 is based on a classic LCD panel (possibly QLED) with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, which clearly suggests that this is not equipment for gamers, but for those who want the television to become an interior decoration when turned off.
Thanks to the special Gallery+ mode, users will gain access to a vast library of over 4,500 works of art in the highest quality. To make the "picture on the wall" effect as convincing as possible, LG has equipped the LX7 model with advanced sensors. The device reacts to external light, adjusting the screen brightness to imitate paper or canvas, and motion sensors ensure that the gallery is displayed only when someone is actually in the room. Of course, the LX7 will be equipped with a matte coating.
2026 is shaping up to be one of the most interesting years in the history of the Korean giant. With Tandem OLED technology in its flagship series, the unexpected "super mid-range" C6H, and an ambitious entry into the world of art with the LX7 model, LG demonstrates that it has a proposal for everyone.
