In a bold move ahead of the show, LG has unveiled their latest innovation: the Wallpaper TV, a marvel of engineering with an impressively slim profile. Not to be outdone, Samsung is setting its sights on those desiring a larger viewing experience, planning to release a massive 130-inch model later this year.

LG first introduced the concept of a “Wallpaper” TV seven years ago with the OLED W. Back then, the design was as thin as a $2 coin, but it came with the caveat of needing a connection to a somewhat cumbersome soundbar via a ribbon cable.

Fast forward to today, and LG has refined their approach. The new OLED Wallpaper TV boasts a mere 9mm thickness and can be mounted seamlessly on your wall, offering a sleek, modern look.

Only a single, slender power cable is required on the wall, simplifying installation and maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. This is made possible by LG’s innovative “Zero Connect box,” which allows your antenna and HDMI inputs to connect wirelessly. You can place this box anywhere in the room, ensuring that the TV itself remains the focal point, unencumbered by clutter.

Your antenna and other HDMI inputs all then connect to the TV wirelessly using LG’s “Zero Connect box,” which you can put anywhere in the room, freeing up space around the TV so the screen itself can be the feature on your wall.

“The Wallpaper TV represents the beautiful convergence of our True Wireless leadership, form factor innovation, and 13 years of OLED mastery,” LG Media Entertainment Solution Company president Park Hyoung-sei said.

“LG continues to raise the bar for OLED TVs, setting the standard for what’s next.”

This TV won’t be cheap, but it is coming to Australia later this year.

The LG Wallpaper TV will be the most premium TV in the company’s range; however, 9News understands the TV will attract only a marginal premium above a traditional top-of-the-line OLED TV.

LG’s OLED Wallpaper TV will come in 77-inch and 83-inch sizes.

Taking size to another level this year will be Samsung, who are looking to bring the biggest ever TV to Australian retail with a 130-inch Micro RGB TV expected in the second half of 2026.

For the last two years, we’ve seen 115-inch TVs and even a 116-inch from Hisense late in 2025; however, a surge to 130 inches will catch the eye of many but will only be available to those with the deepest pockets, given the 115-inch version of this TV from Samsung is currently selling for $29,999.

But it’s about demonstrating scale, and Aussies are buying the bigger range of TVs more than ever.

Simon Howe from Samsung Australia says this new “Micro RGB” technology allows them to produce such big TVs.

“Big screens are no longer the exception; they’re the expectation,” Howe said.

“Responding to this demand, Samsung is introducing its largest Micro RGB TV with a timeless design that transforms the best picture quality into an artistic centerpiece to elevate home decor.

“Micro RGB is ideal for bringing friends and family together to share in moments that matter via life-like realism through unmatched colour accuracy, glare-free display, and added brightness, ideal for Australian living spaces.”

Both these TVs are at the top of the range and price brackets; however, there’s a vast range of new TVs coming across all price points in 2026.
