wireless

During these days the CES is being held in Las Vegas, and therefore we will find a good number of new developments from multiple manufacturers to face this 2026. In the case of LG, among all the announcements it has prepared, it has surprised us with the return of one of its most iconic televisions: the Wallpaper OLED. This line was discontinued in 2020, but now the Korean company has presented at this fair the LG OLED evo W6a renewed model that recovers the concept of an ultra-thin screen. The best part is that it is also a wireless TV. Super fine and with improvements According to the company, the television offers a thickness of only 9 millimeters. In addition, the screen attaches magnetically and remains completely attached to the wall from edge to edge thanks to a renewed support. It is true that the previous model, the W7 of 2017was even thinner at just 2.57mm thick. However, this increase in thickness has an explanation: the additional space has been used to house the wireless receivers and the cooling technology necessary for the system to operate. To put it in perspective, we are still talking about a thickness that is lower than that of most current smartphones. Goodbye to cables (but not all of them) The main problem with the original model was the need to have a thick flat cable connected to the screen and a sound bar Dolby Atmos mandatory that housed all the connections. Since the sound bar was mandatory, users who wanted better sound and wanted to invest in better sound equipment had to also have the mandatory sound bar connected to the cables, which made the whole set impractical. LG has solved this weak point with the Zero Connect Box, an independent box that manages all entries video, audio and peripherals, transmitting everything wirelessly to the screen. In fact, it is the same technology used in your first wireless television which we saw years ago. According to LG, this hub can be placed up to 10 meters away from the TV. Of course, you will still need a cable: the power supply. Image and performance improvements Image: LG The W6 incorporates LG’s new Hyper Radiant Color technology, which promises improvements in black level, color reproduction and brightness. LG assures that this model reaches luminance levels up to 3.9 times higher to a conventional OLED panel, thanks to Brightness Booster Ultra technology. Another interesting detail is that we are talking about the first television to achieve the ‘Reflection Free Premium’ certification from Intertek laboratories. Since it is a television that is practically attached to the wall, the issue of reflections is important and LG claims that it is the panel with the lowest reflectance in its entire rangewhich means that it will not end up becoming just another mirror in our living room. On the other hand, the brain of the television is the new Alpha 11 AI Gen3 processor, whose neural processing unit is, according to LG, 5.6 times more powerful than previous versions. Also ready to play The most gamers also have their space in the W6. And the television is compatible with Refresh rates up to 165 Hz in 4K resolutionin addition to having compatibility NVIDIA G-Sync and FreeSync Premium from AMD. LG also promises a pixel response time of 0.1 milliseconds. And if you’re not using the TV, you can invest part of your electricity bill on a digital wall with the Gallery+ function, which according to LG allows you to display more than 4,500 images. The company assures that in this collection we will find everything from cinematographic moments to video game scenes, also including personal collections or even images generated by AI. Price and availability The LG OLED evo W6 will be Available in 77 and 83 inch sizes. LG has not yet revealed the price or the exact launch date, although everything indicates that it will be placed in the ultra-premium segment. For reference, the previous model cost up to $20,000, so it would not be strange to see similar figures. We will have to wait to find out more information about it.
