LG is getting ready to refresh its TV line-up, and we’ve already got hints about what’s coming at CES 2026. Leaks show that the firm is ready to renew both its OLED and QNED families — the new C6 and G6 OLED models plus fresh QNED85B and QNED86B Mini-LED TVs. Some sizes are confirmed. The rest? We’ll have to wait for the official unveiling early next year.
- LG plans to launch new OLED models — the C6 and G6 — at CES 2026.
- LG is also refreshing its QNED Mini-LED line with new 2026 models: QNED85B and QNED86B.
- The early filings confirm some screen sizes (55″ for OLED, and 75″ / 86″ / 100″ for QNED), but reveal little about specs.
- Likely spec boost: expect similar core features to 2025 but with refinements (panel tech, brightness, smart features), though nothing is certain yet.
2026 OLED — LG C6 and LG G6
LG’s upcoming OLED models have surfaced in ,.
- The new models are called C6 and G6, succeeding the 2025 C5 and G5, respectively.
- The certification reveals a 55-inch variant for each. Other sizes are probable, given the range offered in 2025.
- The filings don’t share any details about new features, so we don’t yet know if LG will bump up brightness, introduce a new panel type or boost gaming specs.
From what we know about the 2025 C5 and G5: those offered 4K resolution, native 120Hz refresh rates, HDR (Dolby Vision and HDR10), and gaming-ready features (up to 144 Hz on C5; 165 Hz VRR on G5).
It’s likely that LG will keep those strengths — and maybe build on them in the C6 and G6. But we’ll only know the real story once LG formally announces them.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Expected improvements for OLED C6 / G6
- Slight brightness boost
- Better heat management
- Faster WebOS
- Higher peak refresh rates for gaming
- Smaller bezels + slimmer profiles
2026 QNED Mini-LED Line — QNED85B & QNED86B
Alongside OLED, LG is refreshing its QNED lineup. Certifications show two new models: QNED85B and QNED86B.
- QNED85B shows up in an 86″ size listing. QNED86B appears in 75″, 86″ and — interestingly — 100-inch variants.
- Design-wise, early photos from the filings show QNED85B with two slim feet, while QNED86B opts for a central stand — indicating different styling across the range.
Looking back at 2025’s QNED models: they were 4K Mini-LED TVs, used LG’s Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen2, supported HDR10 and Filmmaker Mode, and worked with AMD FreeSync — so they were already solid for movies and gaming.
For 2026, we can hope LG pushes the brightness even further, sharpens contrast, enhances local dimming zones and continues fine-tuning colour accuracy.

What We Still Don’t Know — And What to Watch For
There’s a lot LG hasn’t said (because it can’t yet).
- We don’t have detailed specs for C6, G6 or QNED85B/86B — no confirmation on refresh rates, brightness levels, HDR performance or special features. The certification filings are mostly about regulatory approval, not marketing.
- Pricing and regional availability remain a mystery, including in the UAE. It’s possible some sizes or models might skip certain markets.
- For OLED: will LG upgrade panel tech or use the same gen as 2025? No clue yet.
- For QNED: will the 100″ panel support the same AI and refresh-rate features as smaller variants? That remains to be seen.
In short: the leaks give us a rough lineup, but not the big picture.
What This Means for Buyers (in UAE)
If you’re shopping for a new living room TV:
- The C6 and G6 OLEDs might be ideal if you care about perfect blacks, cinema-grade contrast and likely great gaming support.
- The QNED85B / QNED86B models could be better if you want very large sizes (75–100″), brighter screens (good for sunny rooms) and possibly lower prices than premium OLED.
- If you’re not in a rush — waiting until CES 2026 (Jan) to see official specs could pay off. In the UAE, import stocks sometimes lag behind global launch — so early January is a good time to stay alert.
FAQ
When will LG officially announce these TVs?
Most likely during CES 2026 in early January. That’s when LG usually unveils its new TV line-ups.
Do we know the full size range for the new OLEDs?
No — only the 55-inch variants are listed in the certification database so far. Other sizes are probable, based on 2025’s lineup, but not confirmed.
Will QNED86B really go up to 100 inches?
The Korean database filings show a 100″ variant for QNED86B.
Should I wait to buy until after CES 2026?
If you don’t urgently need a new TV — yes. Specs, features and local pricing will likely make more sense once LG officially announces the full 2026 lineup. Keep in mind that it may be mid-year until these models show up at retail for purchasing.
What’s the difference between OLED (C6/G6) and QNED (85B/86B)?
OLED offers deeper blacks and better contrast — great for movies and dark-room viewing. QNED (Mini-LED) tends to be brighter, which helps in sunny living rooms or bright environments, and allows for larger screen sizes.
