The TV arena at CES 2026 was a vibrant showcase, moving beyond the expected battle of RGB TVs. It was a celebration of innovation, with brands like Samsung, LG, and TCL introducing a range of cutting-edge TVs that captivated the audience.
The Rise of RGB TVs
RGB TVs, a newer technology, combine the advantages of mini LED and OLED displays, offering a more balanced approach. Despite the buzz, RGB TVs weren't the only stars at CES. Samsung, LG, and TCL continued to focus on classic 4K TVs, ensuring a diverse selection of new models.
Here's a breakdown of the standout TVs from CES 2026:
LG Wallpaper TV
- The W6 Wallpaper TV is an OLED art TV that blends seamlessly into the wall, measuring just 9 mm thin. It offers superior contrast and black levels compared to QLED TVs. The TV uses the same panel as LG's G6 model, ensuring vibrant viewing in bright rooms.
- It's almost completely wireless, making it a gaming-friendly choice with 165Hz support and a 0.1 millisecond pixel response time. However, it's only available in 77-inch and 83-inch sizes.
TCL X11L SQD-mini LED TV
- TCL's X11L introduces Super Quantum Dot (SQD) technology, combining the ultra-high peak brightness of mini LED with the perfect black levels of OLED. It boasts up to 20,000 local dimming zones, 10,000 nits of peak brightness, and 100% BT.2020 color coverage.

Samsung Micro RGB TV
- The 130-inch Samsung R95H Micro RGB TV is a giant display that covers 100% of the BT.2020 wide color gamut using tiny red, green, and blue LEDs. Its TV stand resembles a giant easel, adding to its unique design.
- Samsung is making this line more accessible with models ranging from 55 to 100 inches, though the price point remains to be seen.
Hisense 116UXS RGB TV
- Hisense's 116-inch 116UXS adds a fourth color, cyan, to the traditional RGB spectrum. It's available in more realistic sizes (55-100 inches) and at a more affordable price point compared to other giant RGB TVs.
Samsung Movingstyle M7
- The 32-inch Samsung Movingstyle M7 is a portable, wireless 4K touchscreen display that doubles as a monitor. It features a rolling base that can move smoothly on different surfaces and has a built-in kickstand.
- With a decent price point of $1,199.99 and three hours of battery life, it offers a practical solution for those seeking a versatile TV.
