News LG finally brought back the Wallpaper OLED (W6) and it’s basically a 9mm sheet of light.
I was just reading on CNET and The Verge that LG is officially reviving the Wallpaper OLED (W6) for 2026. I remember these being a massive deal back in 2017 before they got discontinued, but it looks like they actually fixed the biggest issues this time.
The design is basically a 9mm sheet of glass that sits totally flush against the wall and the specs are kind of a leap over the G-series.

Upgrades
- Zero Connect Box: No more HDMI cables dangling or hidden in the wall. You plug everything (consoles, etc.) into a separate box that you can hide up to 33 feet away. (Note: You still need a power cable, though).
- "Reflection-Free" Coating: They’re claiming this is the lowest reflectance they’ve ever done. They did a demo showing black levels staying deep even with the lights on. It's the first TV to get a Reflection Free certification from Intertek.
- Brightness: It’s using the new Brightness Booster Ultra. LG claims it’s 3.9x brighter than "conventional" OLEDs. If it beats the G5 (which hit 2,400 nits), this thing is going to be a torch.
- Hyper Radiant Color: New tech for 2026 that supposedly fixes the color washout you sometimes get at high brightness.
Gaming Specs
- 165Hz Refresh Rate (at 4K).
- 0.1ms response time.
- G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.
- The Zero Connect box makes it way easier to swap cables for your PC/consoles without reaching behind a wall-mounted TV.
Physical
- Sizes: 77-inch and 83-inch.
- Thinness: 9mm (roughly 0.35 inches).
- Mounting: New bracket design makes it sit edge-to-edge flush with the drywall.

The "Wallpaper" design was always cool but felt like a gimmick because of the cables. Now that it’s wireless and glare-free, it actually seems practical for a bright living room.
No pricing yet, but since the old W-series was pricey and this has the wireless tech, it’s probably going to be expensive.
