LG Electronics is expected to announce its 2026 OLED TV lineup in the next week or so when CES rolls around, but Chinese leakers seem to have jumped the gun, publishing marketing materials that reveal key details of the upcoming flagship models, the LG OLED G6 and W6.
The standout feature on the LG G6 (leaked image above) and W6 looks to be a new 165Hz “Hyper Radiant” Tandem WOLED panel that once again cranks up the brightness. We don’t know how bright they’ll be, but the materials seem to suggest they’ll surpass this year’s LG G5, which is already capable of hitting 2,500 nits peak brightness.
LG is once again going with the “gallery” design for the G6 and W6, which allows them to be mounted almost flush against a wall. According to the materials, the G6 OLED TV will come in 48-, 55-, 65-, 77-, 83- and 97-inches, the same size options as last year, but it’s the Hyper Radiant panel that’s the most pressing revelation here. It’s said to be equipped with an all-new “Brightness Booster Ultra” technology that’s capable of boosting its brightness by 3.9-times compared to the more affordable LG B6 OLED TV, that’s also set to launch in the new year. Of course, we don’t know how bright the B6 will be so we can’t guesstimate a number, but the B-series OLEDs are generally much more affordable and traditionally feature an earlier-generation panel.
The leaks were reported by the German-language publication 4KFilme, but they originate from two Chinese sources – a user named 59LIHP on avsforum.com and a second user called BigBearTV on bilibili.com. There’s no guarantee that the materials are genuine, but the images and details shown do look plausible, and such leaks have been accurate in the past. It’s also notable that some of the details leaked by 59LIHP and BigBearTV seem to overlap. It’s likely that the materials originate from marketing materials prepared for the media.
Aside from the Hyper Radiant panel, there’s also set to be an improved coating on the G6 and W6 TVs that reduces reflections and helps to produce deeper blacks in bright viewing conditions, and the α11 AI processor is said to deliver 5.6-times superior AI performance. The leak suggests both models will be equipped with 165Hz panels and support Dolby Vision HDR (no Dolby Vision 2, apparently), Google Cast, Apple AirPlay 2, HDMI Auto Low-Latency Mode, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync.
Some might be wondering what the LG W6 (leaked image above) actually is, considering that there was no LG W5 OLED TV released last year. However, some readers might recall that there was actually an LG W5 product that scooped a CES 2025 Innovation Award last year, but for whatever reason it never made it into any stores. The W5 OLED TV was a new kind of “wireless” that featured a Zero Connect box that hides away those unsightly cables, plus a slimmer-than-slim design and special wall mount that allows it to be mounted virtually flush on the wall.
The W6 builds on that design, with its HDMI and USB ports all located in a Zero Connect box that connects wirelessly to the TV, so there’s only a single power cable. It’s set to launch in 77- and 83-inch sizes only.
LG last sold a wallpaper TV in 2020 that was known as the WX series, but it was discontinued after a single year. But it seems that the innovations in wireless technology and slimmer electronics has finally enabled LG to resurrect the design and build on its original promise of having a wallpaper-like TV. It’s said to feature an “ultra-slim” OLED panel that has a depth of just 9.9 millimetres, making it slimmer than any OLED TV so far. There’s also a new kind of wall mount that appears to facilitate the TV being installed as close as possible to the wall.
These details were found on an image of the W6 TV’s feature plaque and also in a video posted by BigBearTV, via an ambiguous source on YouTube. We can’t say for sure if the video is real, but it’s slick enough that it could have been made by LG itself:
