We’re mere weeks away from getting our hands on what very well could be some of the best TVs of the year. LG’s latest lineup is hitting shelves soon, and as someone who’s seen nearly all of them, I can confirm that they look good.

If you’re shopping for a TV in 2026 and you’ve got your heart set on an LG-branded model, you’ll have plenty of options at your fingertips. From entry-level OLEDs to flagship stunners, LG’s 2026 TV lineup is chock-full of quality candidates.

While we wait for their impending release, it’s worth taking a bird’s-eye view of the brand’s release strategy. I’ve already spent time with many of these TVs, and now that certain pricing information has come to light, I can help you narrow down your options before they ship.

2026 LG OLED TVs

LG has been the worldwide leader in OLED TV sales, and if you’re familiar with some of these sets, it’s easy to see why.

At the heart of LG’s lineup is a technology on everyone’s mind: OLED. For years, LG has been the worldwide leader in OLED TV sales, and if you’re familiar with some of these sets, it’s easy to see why.

The entry-level B Series, mid-range C Series and top-shelf G Series are a television triumvirate. These popular models have been welcoming viewers into the OLED lifestyle for several years running, and while none are what I’d call affordable, they nonetheless give people different price and performance tiers to choose from.

This year, the entry-level LG B6 replaces the LG B5 as the brand’s lowest-priced OLED TV. The B5 was one of my favorite TVs of 2025, because even though it doesn’t get as bright or colorful as higher-end OLEDs, it’s still an OLED TV that’s stacked with features.

Like its predecessor, the LG B6 is set to launch in 55-, 65-, 77- and 83-inch models. I also expect to see a 48-inch B6, as it was a popular size option for the B Series last year. (If you’ve got your radar up for a slam-dunk OLED TV deal in 2026, it’s worth remembering that the LG B5 routinely finds its way to a $599 sale price, and I expect the B6 to do the same.)

Looking for an incredible OLED picture without the high price? The LG B5 is the perfect pick. It's not as bright as higher-end OLED TVs, but you still get to bask in the glory of OLED display technology. Dedicated gamers will appreciate the B5's array of sought-after features, which includes four HDMI 2.1 inputs, support for 4K gaming at 120Hz, VRR and FreeSync.

Unsurprisingly, the C6 is replacing the LG C5 this year. The C5 was our favorite TV of 2025, so to say that we’re excited for this one is an understatement. Like the award-winning C5, the all-new C6 blends excellent picture quality and a laundry list of features, all attached to a highly competitive price tag.

C6 shoppers should take note: One of the biggest upgrades to LG’s lineup this year involves the 77- and 83-inch versions of the C6. These sets carry the special designation of C6H, and both come equipped with LG's Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 OLED panel, complete with Hyper Radiant Color technology. This tech is otherwise reserved for LG's G Series OLED, so people shopping at the 77- and 83-inch size point are poised to get a little more out of the C6.

Speaking of the LG G Series, I’m pleased to report that the latest model, the LG G6, looks better than ever. While we don’t know much about the room-dominating, 98-inch version of the G6, we do know that the 55-, 65-, 77- and 83-inch versions of the G6 are sporting LG’s latest Primary RGB Tandem panel and Hyper Radiant Color.

LG says the G6 is even brighter than its predecessor — a claim I’m inclined to believe, after having seen it in action. It also appears as though LG’s engineers have made massive improvements to the G6’s picture processing, as posterization (otherwise known as banding) is at an all-time low.

In a class all its own, the W6 is an all-new lifestyle TV that’s sure to be a hit with interior design enthusiasts. The so-called Wallpaper OLED is the thinnest LG has ever made, and its uniform profile is built for wall-mounting — hence the name.

The W6 taps the same RGB Tandem display as the G6, but the artful OLED has a trick up its sleeve: wireless connectivity. LG’s Zero Connect Box — which houses all of the TV’s inputs — can be stashed up to 10 meters away for maximum minimalism.

If you're in the market for a portrait-style lifestyle TV that doesn't arrive with a flagship OLED-level price tag, LG's gearing up to launch the LX7, a TV with a focus on design that competes with the likes of Samsung's The Frame. LG's Gallery TV offers a basic LED display with customizable frames, and like the W6, it displays thousands of artworks when not in use.

Like most major TV brands, LG is launching a brand-new, RGB LED TV in 2026. The model name is LG MRGB95, and so far, it’s only confirmed in 75, 85 and 100 inches.

It’s set to compete with the likes of the Samsung R95H Micro RGB TV and the Hisense UR9, both of which tap a similar type of display technology. Rather than rely on white Mini-LEDs, these sets use teeny-tiny red-, green- and blue-colored LEDs for eye-popping color volume.

There are rumblings of additional, more-affordably priced Micro RGB evo TVs on deck for 2026, but so far, LG hasn’t approached me with information about these models.

Which LG TV should you buy in 2026?

As we move closer to the official launch of these TVs in the coming weeks and months, their pricing is beginning to come to light. Not all of it is currently known, however.

The LG C6 and G6 prices have already been confirmed, and to my pleasant surprise, everything was in line with the C5 and G5 launch prices. In other words, the “RAMmageddon” price hike many of us feared hasn’t come through. This indicates that the LG B6 will likely carry the same pricing as last-year’s B5, which means that the 48-inch B6 might eventually drop as low as $599.

The W6 Wallpaper OLED pricing hasn’t been made official, either, but there’s good news on that front, too: A representative from LG informed Global Editor-in-Chief Mark Spoonauer that the W6 won't be much more than the G6 at launch. Folks who yearn for its elegant, artful design needn't brace themselves for sticker shock.

The real wild card in LG’s catalog is the Micro RGB evo TV, whose unknown price could ultimately land anywhere between “ouch” and “you’ve got to be kidding me” on the reaction scale. If you’re interested in the latest evolution of LED-based technology, LG’s flagship model is currently only confirmed for 75-, 85- and 100-inch models. This could put LG at a disadvantage compared to Samsung and Hisense, both of which have promised 55- and 65-inch versions of their RGB LED TVs.

Of course, LG will almost certainly be unveiling more budget-friendly models this year, too. We’re still waiting for information about LG’s full QNED lineup, which are traditional Mini-LED TVs that typically clock in at lower price points than LG OLEDs.
