Art TVs Arrive: Style Meets Screen in 2026

This year, the television landscape is set to transform with the rise of lifestyle TVs, prioritizing design and aesthetic integration into living spaces. Brands are pushing the boundaries, offering sets that function as art pieces when not in use. LG's Wallpaper TV, the W6, exemplifies this trend with its incredibly thin 9mm profile and advanced Tandem OLED panel, featuring Hyper Radiant Color Technology for enhanced brightness.

LG's W6 is engineered for a flush wall mount, similar to its premium G Series, but takes the lifestyle concept further. It utilizes a wireless Zero Connect Box for a clean, cable-free installation. While positioned as a premium option, its price is expected to be comparable to LG's G Series OLEDs, making cutting-edge design more accessible.

Amazon is also entering the lifestyle TV market with its Ember Artline TV, offering a more affordable alternative. This QLED model features customizable magnetic frames and the Fire TV smart platform. It will be available in 55 and 65-inch sizes, with the 55-inch model priced at $899, undercutting competitors like Samsung's The Frame. Samsung itself is expanding its Frame series with new size options, including a 55-inch Frame Pro and a 98-inch entry-level Frame.
