3 of the World’s Thinnest OLED TVs You Can Buy in 2026

If thickness matters as much as picture quality, these three OLED TVs are worth knowing about in 2026.

OLED TVs have always had extremely thin panels, but the ports, speakers, and cooling hardware usually make the complete TV much thicker. But in 2026, a few flagship models have pushed the entire TV much closer to the wall.

Here are the 3 world’s smallest OLED TVs you can buy right now.

Let’s review these three OLED TVs one by one to see what each offers, where they differ, and how they compare.

1. LG OLED evo W6: The one to buy for an ultra-thin wall setup

The LG OLED evo W6 Wallpaper TV is the world’s slimmest mainstream production television. At roughly 9.9 mm thick, the complete display is thinner than many smartphones with a case.

LG achieves this by moving the HDMI ports and much of the hardware away from the screen. Your consoles, streaming boxes, Blu-ray player, and other devices plug into the separate Zero Connect Box, which sends 4K video and audio wirelessly to the TV. You still need a power cable running to the screen, so it is not wireless, but it removes most of the cable clutter around the TV. LG says the box can operate from up to 32 feet away under suitable conditions.

That design would matter less if picture quality suffered, but it does not appear to. The LG evo W6 uses essentially the same high-end OLED panel and Alpha 11 Gen3 processing platform as the LG evo G6. Its HDR brightness is effectively the same as the G6, and its glossy anti-reflection coating keeps blacks deep even in a lit room.

For movie fans, it delivers true blacks, strong contrast, bright HDR highlights, wide viewing angles, and Dolby Vision support. The evo W6 isn’t a TV where you sacrifice picture quality just to get a thinner body.

Gaming is surprisingly strong too.

The LG evo W6 supports 4K at up to 165Hz, VRR, Nvidia G-Sync, and AMD FreeSync Premium. We measured about 6 ms of total input lag at 4K/165Hz through the wireless connection, with no visible transmission artifacts during testing.

The bigger compromise is sound. There is not much physical room for big speakers inside a 9.9 mm body. The bass is noticeably limited, even though LG’s processing creates a wider soundstage. Anyone buying the LG evo W6 should plan on adding a soundbar or separate speakers.

The W6 makes the most sense if the installation itself matters almost as much as the picture. It is available only in large 77-inch and 83-inch sizes. The 77-inch launched in the U.S. at $5,499.99, so the Wallpaper design comes at a higher cost.

2. LG OLED evo G6: Nearly the same picture without the Wallpaper premium

The LG evo G6 is much thicker than the W6 on paper, but calling a 24.3 mm-deep 65-inch TV thick would be unfair. Its flat, Gallery-style chassis sits close to the wall. LG lists the 65-inch model at 24.3 mm deep and the 77-inch at 24.8 mm.

This is one of the strongest 2026 OLEDs for movie watching. We found perfect OLED blacks, very high HDR brightness, vibrant color, strong reflection handling, and unusually good processing of compressed or low-resolution video. That last point matters if you watch a lot of streaming services, cable TV, older shows, or lower-bitrate online video rather than pristine 4K Blu-rays all day. The LG evo G6 also supports Dolby Vision, something Samsung still does not offer.

There is one OLED motion characteristic movie fans should know about. Because OLED pixels respond so quickly, slow camera pans in 24fps films can show visible stutter. However, light motion interpolation can reduce the effect. This isn’t unique to the evo G6, but people particularly sensitive to 24fps motion may notice it.

It is also built properly for modern gaming. All four HDMI ports provide full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. The LG evo G6 supports 4K/120Hz on current consoles and up to 4K/165Hz with a compatible PC, plus VRR, FreeSync Premium Pro, G-Sync compatibility, ALLM, and Dolby Vision gaming on Xbox. Input lag is very low.

That makes it easier to live with if you own a PS5, Xbox, gaming PC, and an eARC sound system. You do not have to decide which device deserves the high-bandwidth HDMI port because all four are capable.

Built-in sound is adequate, not exceptional. Dialogue sounds clear, and it can get reasonably loud, but we found the deep bass somewhat hollow. A soundbar still makes sense for movies.

The evo G6 is therefore the more practical LG for most buyers. The LG evo W6 is dramatically thinner, but the core picture performance is extremely close. The extra W6 money mainly buys the 9.9 mm body and wireless installation.

3. Samsung S95H / S99H: Slim, extremely bright, and built for gamers

Samsung’s flagship 2026 OLED takes a different approach.

In North America, it is called the S95H, while the closely related flagship is called S99H in several other markets. Samsung’s naming is unusually confusing this year, and some regional S95H variants use different chassis designs, so buyers should check the exact model number rather than assuming every S95H has identical dimensions.

Samsung lists the 65-inch Australian S95H at 26.4 mm deep without its stand. The comparable flagship S99H is roughly 26 to 28 mm depending on screen size.

The 55, 65, and 77-inch versions use QD-OLED, while the 83-inch model uses a different RGB Tandem WOLED panel. That distinction matters because you shouldn’t assume the 83-inch version will behave exactly like the smaller models reviewed with QD-OLED panels.

For HDR, the S95H/S99H can produce extremely bright, saturated colors. Compared with the LG evo G6, we found Samsung’s color brightness especially impressive. Its matte Glare Free coating also suppresses direct reflections, making it very comfortable in a bright living room.

There is a trade-off. QD-OLED black levels can rise somewhat when strong ambient light hits the screen. In other words, Samsung does a better job of hiding obvious reflections, while the glossy LG evo G6 tends to preserve deeper-looking blacks in a brightly lit room. Which presentation looks better will depend on the room.

Movie fans should also know Samsung still doesn’t support Dolby Vision. Instead, you get HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and HDR10+ Gaming. For Netflix, Disney+, 4K Blu-ray discs, and other Dolby Vision sources, playback falls back to another supported HDR format.

Gamers also have very little to complain about. All four HDMI ports support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, with 4K/165Hz for PCs, 4K/120Hz for consoles, VRR, ALLM, and HDR10+ Gaming.

Samsung has also put more effort into built-in sound than you might expect from such a thin body. The S99H uses a 70W 4.2.2-channel system with Dolby Atmos. It is useful for everyday viewing, but a good soundbar or home theater setup will still produce more convincing bass and scale.

Which One Should You Choose?

The differences are clearer when you ignore the long specification sheets and concentrate on how these TVs are actually used:

• Choose the LG W6 if you want the thinnest possible looks and hate seeing cables around a wall-mounted TV. Its picture quality is essentially flagship, like the LG G6, in a dramatically slimmer body, but you pay a large premium and should budget for external audio.
• Choose the LG G6 if movies, streaming quality, Dolby Vision, and gaming all matter. It gives you most of the LG W6’s picture performance in a still very slim body, with conventional wired connectivity and more screen-size choices.
• Choose the Samsung S95H/S99H if you watch in a bright room, value vivid HDR color, or spend a lot of time gaming. Its anti-glare screen is excellent, and its gaming support is extensive, but the absence of Dolby Vision is still a meaningful limitation for home cinema users.
