The best TVs of CES 2026

CES serves a fewer different purposes — to springiness america the consciousness of what’s to travel during the year, to introduce unusual devices, and for companies to show disconnected the newest technology. While location wasn’t arsenic overmuch of the first arsenic I had hoped, location judge was a batch of the latter. TV manufacturers delivered tremendous displays pinch further subpixels, intriguing advancements connected existing technologies, and the return of a stylish and slim favorite.

First launched backmost successful 2017, LG’s Wallpaper TV redefined what a slim TV could be. After a fewer years away, the Wallpaper TV has returned pinch the W6. This caller exemplary is only 9 millimeters thick, has carved linear patterns astir its perimeter for reinforced rigidity that looks stylish, and hangs flush against the wall. The TV uses the wireless Zero Connect Box 2.0, truthful you don’t person a bunch of cables from your sources to the TV (there is simply a bladed powerfulness cablegram astatine the bottommost near of the TV, though). The container is 35 percent smaller than its erstwhile loop and supports 4K signals up to 165Hz connected each its HDMI ports, making it the first TV tin of that.

The W6 uses LG’s Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 sheet and Hyper Radiant Color Technology. It should person a 20 percent summation successful brightness complete the G5, which I measured astatine complete 2,400 nits. The W6 besides has 12-bit colour extent processing, which gives it much headroom erstwhile receiving the 10-bit awesome sent from sources, causing less artifacts.

The main TV attraction of the show for TCL was connected its X11L SQD-Mini LED (so overmuch so, that location weren’t immoderate specifications revealed astir its different TV lines). The TV uses bluish LEDs — and not the RGB LEDs that astir manufacturers were showing astatine CES — and TCL says it’s tin of an unthinkable 10,000 nits of brightness, has up to 20,000 dimming zones, and covers 100 percent of the BT.2020 colour gamut.

This is because of 2 advancements TCL has made. The X11L is the only TV that uses reformulated quantum dots and an improved colour select developed by TCL CSOT (the company’s sheet manufacturing division). Color connected the TV looks spectacular, and acknowledgment to each those dimming zones (and immoderate awesome processing), the TV has fantabulous blooming control. This caller invention doesn’t travel cheap, arsenic the smallest size of 75 inches starts astatine $6,999.99, but it’s still a large measurement for mini LED.

Back successful August of 2025, Samsung officially launched its first Micro RGB TV, and successful the days starring up to CES announced caller sizes down to 55 inches would beryllium coming successful 2026. But erstwhile the doors opened astatine Samsung’s First Look arena astatine CES, it was evident they planned 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 look for illustration the TV is suspended successful aerial wrong the metallic frame. The R95H is tin of 100 percent of BT.2020, has a glare-free screen, and supports HDR10+ Advanced. But while it’s impressive, the TV is only a prototype, truthful don’t spell making abstraction successful your surviving room.

The institution that started the full RGB LED inclination that now each shaper is simply a portion of, pinch the Hisense UX, has now upgraded it pinch the caller 116-inch UXS. But what’s fascinating is that it’s nary longer conscionable an RGB LED TV. It’s now an RGCB LED TV, arsenic Hisense has added a cyan LED to the backlight of the UXS.

Hisense says location are a mates benefits to adding the cyan LED. First, it helps soft the modulation betwixt bluish and green, which tin beryllium prone to colour crosstalk, affecting the colour purity. Plus, it besides helps trim the bluish ray output successful the scope that tin origin eyestrain and fatigue, arsenic good arsenic impact your circadian rhythms. The other cyan LED besides bumps up the BT.2020 sum of the UXS to 110 percent.

LG’s flagship G6 has a batch of similarities pinch the W6 Wallpaper TV mentioned earlier. It besides uses the Primary RGB Tandem sheet pinch Hyper Radiant Color Technology which should beryllium 20 percent brighter than past year’s G5. LG has said that the G6 will person deeper blacks than before, and it has a reflection free exertion pinch little than 0.5 cleanable reflectance to support those blacks bully and inky, nary matter the lighting condition.
