LG brought back the Wallpaper TV for CES and ditched the associated soundbar

It’s been almost 10 years since LG first introduced its TV Wallpaper it was so fine that the assembly process was like applying wallpaper. After finally ditching ultra-thin TVs in 2020, LG is finally relaunching the Wallpaper TV series with the OLED evo W6 which will debut at CES 2026. LG is marketing the updated Wallpaper TV as the “world’s thinnest” truly wireless OLED, bringing major improvements to the original.

Instead of the companion bar that housed all the ports, LG designed the Zero Connect Box that houses all inputs and can transmit up to about 32 feet away. This is similar to what Samsung did with its Wireless One Connect Box, which is often associated with its Frame TV range. While you don’t have to worry about a tangled web of wires or a bulky soundbar, the OLED evo W6 measures slightly thicker at 9mm, compared to its predecessor’s hyper-thin 2.6mm measurement. That’s more than three times the thickness, but still impressive considering the W6 will be about as thick as putting an iPhone 17 Pro Max against your wall.

The latest Wallpaper TV, however, has many improvements, including LG’s third-generation α 11 processor. LG has also added its new Hyper Radiant Color technology to the W6, which results in deeper blacks, enhanced colors and higher brightness levels. There’s even a Brightness Booster Ultra feature that LG says delivers four times the brightness of regular OLED. To complement the extra slowness, LG has specially designed a glare-reducing screen for the Wallpaper TV.

The updated W6 can also handle gaming better, as it supports a 4K refresh rate at 165Hz and has a 0.1 pixel response time, crucial for competitive gaming. LG has added compatibility with NVIDIA’s G-Sync, AMD’s FreeSync Premium, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. When you are not using Wallpaper TV, LG has its Gallery+ feature that can display screensaver visuals, personal photos, or images created with generative AI.

LG hasn’t revealed what sizes the upgraded Wallpaper TV will be available in, but it will be on display later this week at CES 2026. LG hasn’t given any pricing clues yet, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see an equally shocking price compared to the previous one. TV Wallpaperwhich costs up to $20,000.
