The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 showcased a diverse array of TVs, with Samsung, LG, and TCL leading the way in innovation. From groundbreaking RGB technology to art TVs and quantum dots, these TVs are not just cool but also offer unique features that cater to various consumer preferences.
RGB TVs Take Center Stage
One of the most anticipated trends at CES 2026 was the emergence of RGB TVs. These TVs aim to combine the best of both worlds, blending the advantages of mini LED and OLED technologies into a single display. While RGB TVs were present, they weren't the only cool offerings. Samsung, LG, and TCL continued to focus on classic 4K TVs, ensuring a diverse range of new models.
LG Wallpaper: Art TV Redefined
LG's W6 Wallpaper TV is a standout feature at CES 2026. This TV is designed to lay almost flush against the wall, resembling framed wall art. With a thickness of just 9 mm, it's incredibly thin. The W6 Wallpaper is an OLED art TV, offering superior contrast and black levels compared to QLED or Neo QLED Frames. It uses the same panel as LG's new G6 TV, ensuring vibrancy in bright rooms. The TV is almost completely wireless, making it a gaming-friendly option with a 165Hz refresh rate and a 0.1 millisecond pixel response time.
TCL X11L: Mini LED and Quantum Dots
TCL's X11L SQD-mini LED TV is another standout at CES 2026. The SQD technology utilizes enhanced quantum dot nano particles to convert colors from a single-chip pure white light source, offering peak brightness up to 10,000 nits and 100% of BT.2020 color coverage. This TV impressed attendees with its awe-inspiring specs, making it a strong contender for the new gold standard in TV technology.
Samsung Micro RGB: Giant Display, Accessible Price
Samsung's 130-inch Micro RGB TV, the R95H, is a giant display that covers 100% of the BT.2020 wide color gamut. The TV's stand resembles a giant easel, adding to its unique design. While the size is impressive, Samsung is making it more accessible with models available in 55, 65, 75, 85, and 100 inches. The price point for smaller models remains to be seen, but it's expected to be accessible for the average consumer.
Hisense 116UXS: Giant RGB TV with a Twist
Hisense brought a giant RGB TV to CES 2026, the 116-inch 116UXS, which adds a fourth color, cyan, to the traditional RGB spectrum. This TV is available in more realistic sizes and pricing, making it a more accessible option for those seeking a giant RGB display.
Samsung Movingstyle: Portable TV with Style
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Samsung's Movingstyle M7 is a portable TV that measures just 32 inches. It's a wireless 4K touchscreen display that doubles as a monitor, featuring a rolling base that can move smoothly between different surfaces. With a decent price point of $1,199.99, it's a practical and stylish option for those seeking a versatile TV solution.
CES 2026 showcased a diverse range of TVs, each with its own unique features and innovations. From RGB TVs to art TVs and portable displays, these TVs cater to various consumer needs, ensuring that there's something for everyone at the show.
