Immediately after the New Year, the world’s media gather in Las Vegas to, CES – The Most Powerful Tech Event in the World
Prior to the official opening to the trade visitors from the 6-9 January, the world’s media are invited to a multitude of back-to-back presentations from a multitude of manufacturers over two hectic days.
During LG’s press conference, several products were announced, including the presentation of its 2026 TV line-up, including the LG OLED G6.
This is their flag ship stand-mount set, which upgrades the previous OLED G5 of which earned many excellent reviews owing to the introduction of its new OLED panel increasing a brighter view than its predecessors.
Available in 48-to-83-inch sizes, the LG OLED G6 will be available in the UK later this year. LG have also announced a 97-inch model, though it appears it will have a different panel type to the G6. No guide prices have been announced for any models.
Two LG Gallery TV models were also announced, available in 55 or 65-inch sizes, these are said to have been designed in tandem with museum curators for a mentioned ‘gallery-like’ viewing experience at home, featuring an anti-glare panel. Hence, when not viewing a favourite programme, users have access to LG’s Gallery+ service, which delivers over 4,500 works of art.
Once again, Samsung has also not disappointed.
With an array of various technologies and innovations, vision was at the forefront with its latest Freestyle+ portable projector. This is brighter than its predecessors and more flexible with AI-powered improvements.
Similar to previous models, it’s a compact cylinder that’s easy to move around, though that’s where the similarity ends. The Samsung Freestyle+ has the benefit of increased brightness to project much clearer in a variety of light conditions, it also has a 180-degree rotating design that enables the projection of images at almost any angle. Ideally built-in is a 360-degree speaker which is Q-Symphony compatible, so it can be synchronised with compatible Samsung soundbars.
With the increase of demand for large screens, Samsung announced and revealed its 130-inch Micro-RGB set, the R95H.
A technology first seen at IFA Belin last September, Micro-RGB, uses microscopic Red, Green and Blue Backlight illumination. This technology provides for greater precision, as well as colour-dimming for more accurate results.
Similar to other very large screens, the Samsung R95H isn’t your average TV set. Having a screen of 130-inches in most homes is not the ideal. Besides having the space, whilst fabulous to have, convincing other household members it would be a good investment, may prove more difficult. Regarding price? No guide given, though we do know it will be expensive.
Though more about TCL later. At CES, it announced the launch of its X11L SQD mini-LED TV, which will be available in the first quarter of 2026. With an initial launch of 98 and 85-inch screen sizes, the 75-inch version is to follow later.
Hisense proudly launched its flagship 2026 TVs, having RBG LED panels and Dolby Vision 2.
With space limited, IER will keep you posted with more information from CES 2026 over the coming days and weeks, as the tech news continues to be vast and informative.
