- LG announces that its next OLED TVs have won multiple CES awards
- There’s a transparent OLED, but it may be the existing model
- But there’s a next-gen ‘Micro RGB’ mini-LED TV too
Every January, the CES consumer electronics event announces the winners of its Innovation award – but the winners tell us who they are and what products have been picked months before. And next year’s awards are going to a lot of LG products, including its flagship transparent OLED TV and a currently secret new RGB-backlit TV.
The OLED TV, the LG Signature OLED T, is picking up a CES Best of Innovation award, though this may well be the existing model again, rather than a new one. But it seems that other LG OLEDs have also won awards – and while it’s not exactly a shock that LG is working on a new wave to storm our list of the best OLED TVs, this is the first sign of them.
But even more interesting is that LG is also getting an Innovation Award for “a premium LCD TV with Micro RGB technology.” The details of that one are still under wraps.
LG is famed for its OLEDs, but it has struggled to compete in the mini-LED market, and have been getting trampled by the superior quality of Samsung, and the superior value of TCL and Hisense.
But investing in RGB mini-LED could be a chance to turn that around. We already knew that Samsung, Hisense and TCL are all investing heavily in RGB LED, and have all shown off TVs based on the next-gen LED technology, but this is the first we’ve heard from LG.
This could be a clean slate for the company – new tech, new expertise, new TVs. We’re really looking forward to see what this set might deliver.
Which CES awards have LG products won?
This is the fourth year running that LG has won Best of Innovation awards: the bendable LG OLED Flex got one in 2023, LG’s wireless OLED got the gong in 2024, the brightness-enhanced LG OLED Evo won in 2025 and the LG Signature OLED T is a winner for CES 2026.
That latter award is an odd one, because the LG Signature OLED T picked up five innovation awards at CES 2024 – including the same Best of Innovation award it’s receiving in 2026. It is undeniably a tech tour de force, a 77-inch wireless OLED that can turn transparent and which has been showcased in art installations around the world. But to get the same award two years later does feel – even more than usual; CES gives out a lot of awards – much more about marketing than marking new innovations. But perhaps we’ll be surprised and a new version of this TV will appear.
That’s not the only CES award LG will be taking home in January. The webOS smart TV platform has picked up Innovation Awards in both Artificial Intelligence and in Cybersecurity, and it’s grabbed an award for its built-in robot vacuum station too.
The StanbyME 2 mobile display gets an innovation award, as does the LG UltraFine evo 6K pro-spec monitor. That’s the world’s first display to support both 6K resolution and the latest Thunderbolt 5 connectivity.
We’ll see the secret new TVs in person at CES 2026 in January, at least, and we’ll see if everything here really feels worth of an award.
