The TV world’s heavy hitters are all showing new models at CES 2026, with cutting-edge TVs that use new RGB mini-LED tech grabbing attention via their exceptionally rich color.
RGB mini-LED and its variants (Samsung Micro RGB, Hisense RGB evo, LG Micro RGB, TCL Mini RGB, and so on) will be featured in this year’s top TVs arriving as soon as late January. But there are also new and improved OLED TVs on display at CES, with both LG and Samsung stepping up their game to deliver even brighter OLED sets than last year, along with better reflection resistance and enhanced gaming features.
Samsung S95H OLED
The Samsung S95H is the successor to the Samsung S95F, TechRadar’s TV of the year for 2025. This new flagship features 35% higher peak brightness than last year’s model, which Samsung says is due to improvements in the efficiency of the QD-OLED panel’s color filter and emitting layer.
Other picture-quality improvements include refined HDR tone mapping, with the TV now tuned for content mastered at up to 4,000 nits, along with upgraded noise reduction processing to improve the look of 4K programs streamed at a low bitrate.
The S95H will ship with a metallic ‘art frame’ that gives the TV a floating appearance when wall-mounted, and it supports the Art Mode found in the company’s The Frame TVs. Unlike the S95F, which featured Samsung’s One Connect Box for external source hookups, the new S95H has its connection ports built in, though it can optionally be paired with Samsung’s Wireless One Connect Box, an option that boosts the HDMI input count to a whopping eight ports in total.
LG OLED evo G6/W6
LG’s new flagship OLED evo G6 features a new Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 display panel with a Brightness Booster Ultra feature that delivers a 20% brightness increase over last year’s LG G5. LG’s Hyper Radiant Color technology extends the panel picture quality benefits to other factors such as color and contrast, while Reflection Free Premium tech ensures a “perfect black’ in both light and dark room viewing conditions, with lower than 0.5% screen reflectance.
The new G6 is also a premium gaming TV, with Nvidia G-Sync, FreeSync Premium Pro, and 4K 165Hz support, as well as a Motion Booster feature for 1080p gaming at 330Hz. It’s the world’s first TV to feature 4K 120Hz GeForce Now cloud gaming, and it supports ultra-low latency Bluetooth game controllers.
The LG OLED evo W6 marks the return of LG’s Wallpaper TV concept, with a refined design that takes advantage of the company’s latest-gen Zero Connect Box, a 35% smaller version of last year’s wireless connection box that supports streaming at up to 4K 165Hz.
LG W6 TVs use the same Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 display panel as the G6, but it’s encased in a pencil-thin cabinet with stylish curved linear pattern side bezels and an ebony wood back panel. A two-point integrated folding bracket allows for a flush-mount wall installation, and an optimized sound path and sound port give the super-slim TV’s 4.2-channel, 60-watt built-in speakers enough space to properly do their thing.
LG C6H OLED
At TechRadar, we are big fans of LG’s C-series OLED TVs, which offer impressive picture quality and gaming features at a reasonable price point. This year, LG opted to split the new C6 series in two, with the 77-inch and 83-inch models getting a Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 display panel – the same one used in the new LG G6 – and the smaller-size models in the lineup getting a more standard and lower-brightness W-OLED panel.
What all C-Series OLED TVs will share is a speedy Alpha 11 Gen 3 AI processor that provides picture, sound, and UI navigation enhancements. LG’s new strategy with the C-Series should provide ample reason to go big, with the 77- and 83-inch models offering theoretically as good performance as the company’s flagship OLEDs at a more reasonable price.
TCL X11L SQD Mini-LED
The star of TCL’s CES TV display was the TCL X11L series SQD mini-LED lineup. These models utilize newly formulated Super QLED Crystals, which are just one component of a Deep Color System that delivers 100% coverage of the BT.2020 color space, according to the company.
The X11L Series TVs are also capable of 10,000 nits of peak brightness and have up to 20,000 local dimming zones to deliver blacks with OLED-like depth and clarity. They will support the forthcoming Dolby Vision 2 Max format, sport an Audio By Bang & Olufsen front-firing speaker array with a dedicated center channel speaker, and are Dolby Atmos FlexConnect-capable.
Samsung 130-inch Micro RGB
If one were looking at CES for a TV that would give the best projectors a run for their money, Samsung’s 130-inch Micro RGB is that TV. Like other RGB mini-LED examples at CES, this beautiful beast of a TV delivers 100% BT.2020 color space coverage. It uses Samsung’s ‘Timeless Frame’ design concept for support and has the same Glare Free screen found in other Samsung TVs, such as the new S95H OLED.
Sadly, the 130-inch model is only a prototype that won’t be available in 2026. However, it features the same core tech found in the new Samsung Micro RGB TV lineup (this is effectively a 130-inch version of the top-end R95H), which will be sold in 55- to 115-inch screen sizes.
Hisense 116UXS Mini-LED
Hisense opted to do things a bit differently with its forthcoming mini-LED TV lineup. At CES, the company is showcasing RGB MiniLED evo, a variation on its RGB mini-LED TV tech that adds a cyan component to the RGB light module for expanded color detail, along with an incredible 110% BT.2020 color space coverage.
Hisense says that the cyan addition creates even more realistic colors than RGB mini-LED TVs can display. And while the psychedelic color palette of the computer-generated content used to demonstrate the 116-inch 116UXS at CES looked far from realistic, it was definitely rich and eye-catching.
Hisense was early out of the gate with RGB mini-LED, releasing the Hisense 116UX in 2025. At $30,000, that 116-inch model is priced well out of reach for most buyers, but we have high hopes that the 55-100-inch screen-size RGB mini-LED TVs that Hisense also announced at CES will be (much) more affordably priced.
