The five best TVs at CES 2026

CES serves a few different purposes – to give us an idea of ​​what’s to come during the year Insertion of foreign devicesCompanies can showcase the latest technologies. While there wasn’t as much of the former as I had hoped, there was certainly a lot of the latter. TV manufacturers have come up with huge offerings with additional sub-pixels, interesting developments in existing technologies, and the return of sleek and slim favorites.

First launched in 2017, LG’s Wallpaper TV redefined what a slim TV could be. A few years later, Wallpaper TV returned with the W6. This new model is just 9mm thick and has sculpted linear patterns around its circumference to enhance solidity that looks elegant, hung on the wall. The TV uses Zero Connect Box 2.0 wireless, so you don’t have a bunch of cables from your sources to the TV (there’s a thin power cable on the bottom left of the TV). The box is 35 percent smaller than its previous version and supports 4K signals up to 165Hz on all HDMI ports, making it the first TV to be able to do so.

The W6 uses LG’s RGB Tandem 2.0 core panel and Hyper Radiant Color technology. It should have a 20 percent increase in brightness on G5which I measured at over 2,400 nits. The W6 also has 12-bit color depth processing, which gives it more headroom when receiving the 10-bit signal sent from sources, causing fewer artifacts.

The main TV focus of TCL’s program has been the X11L SQD-Mini LED (so much so that no details about other TV lines have been revealed). The TV uses blue LEDs — not the RGB LEDs most manufacturers are showing off at CES — and TCL says they’re capable of delivering an incredible 10,000 nits of brightness, have up to 20,000 dimming zones, and cover 100 percent of the BT.2020 color gamut.

This is because of the two advances TCL has made. The X11L is the only TV to use the reformulated quantum dots and enhanced color filter developed by TCL CSOT (the company’s panel manufacturing division). Color on the TV looks amazing, and thanks to all those dimming zones (and some great processing), the TV has excellent bloom control. This new innovation isn’t cheap, with the smaller 75-inch size starting at $6,999.99, but it’s still a big step up for small LEDs.

Back in August of 2025, Samsung officially announced Launched the first Micro RGB TVAnd in the days leading up to CES New sizes announced An up to 55-inch display will be released in 2026. But when the doors opened at Samsung’s First Look event at CES, it was clear they were planning to impress. Attendees were greeted by the 130-inch R95H Micro RGB TV, Samsung’s largest micro RGB display.

The TV has Samsung’s Timeless Frame, which makes it appear as if the TV is suspended in the air inside the metal frame. The R95H is 100 percent BT.2020 capable, has a glare-free display, and supports HDR10+ Advanced. But while it’s impressive, the TV is only a prototype, so don’t save space in your living room.

The company that started the all-RGB LED trend that every manufacturer is now a part of, with the Hisense UX, has now taken it up a notch with the new 116-inch UXS. But what’s amazing is that it’s no longer just an RGB LED TV. It’s now an RGCB LED TV, as Hisense has added a cyan LED to the backlight of the UXS.

Hisense says there are some benefits to adding a sky LED. First, it helps smooth the transition between blue and green, which can be susceptible to color interference, affecting color purity. In addition, it also helps reduce blue light output in the range that can cause eye strain and fatigue, as well as impact your circadian rhythms. An additional sky LED also increases the BT.2020 coverage of the UXS to 110 percent.

LG’s flagship G6 phone has a lot of similarities to the previously mentioned W6 Wallpaper TV. It also uses a basic RGB Tandem panel with Hyper Radiant Color Technology that should be 20 percent brighter than last year’s G5. LG said the G6 will have deeper blacks than before, and also has reflection-free technology with less than 0.5 reflectance ideal for keeping blacks nice and inky, no matter the lighting condition.
