Extremely thin and bright OLED LG TVs confirmed for Australia

OLED is once again the main focus of LG’s latest TVs, with the company confirming its extensive range of living room screens coming to Australia. This includes the extremely thin W6 Wallpaper TV, an OLED that attracted plenty of eyes during CES 2026 in January.

At 9.9mm thin, it’s quite the engineering feat. It also costs a premium, with the 83-inch model priced at $11,999 when it arrives in Australia this July.

For those who have the cash, the 4K W6 OLED TV is designed to take up as little space in homes as possible. To save on space, inputs don’t plug directly into the TV. Instead, they go into a wireless transmitter called the Zero Connect Box.

It’s not LG’s first time using wireless transmission technology, but this particular implementation has received an upgrade. Not only is the box smaller and lighter, but it can also transmit further, up to five metres away from the TV. LG says the technology transfers audio and visuals at up to 15Gbps using 60GHz technology. Ultimately, it means that the W6 OLED supports high refresh rates in 4K quality, without needing a direct wired connection with the source.

LG expects the C6 OLED to be a winner

At such a lofty price, the W6 is aspirational, perhaps a sign of things to come. In the here and now, LG expects the C6 OLED to be one of its biggest sellers, as the C-series TVs have historically been.

As the successor to last year’s C5 OLED TV, one of 2025’s best TVs, the C6 derives most of its improvements from LG’s new Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen3, which the W6 and G6 models also use. In addition to the various upscaling features, the updated processor provides higher peak brightness levels.

For C6 OLED TVs 65 inches and smaller, LG claims 40 per cent brightness gains compared to the C5 model. Similarly, the next model up, the G6 OLED, supports a new ‘Brightness Booster Ultra’ feature, which is reportedly 21 per cent brighter than the G5 series.

At the more affordable end, the B6 model provides the pixel-level precision, colours and contrast of OLED, but without the high brightness levels. Its corresponding sizes are up to $700 cheaper than the C6 series, though. So, the trade-off largely comes from whether you need a bright TV or have a dim living room: LG claims the largest C6 TVs are as much as three times brighter than the B6 series.

To combat bright living rooms, LG hasn’t followed Samsung’s approach in relying on matte anti-glare screens. Instead, its premium displays employ a triple-polariser technology that absorbs ambient light. LG believes it’s the best middle-ground solution to tackle glare, with some matte screens seen as producing more of a dark grey than a deep black.
