The relentless march of TV technology continues, and for home theater enthusiasts, the future is looking brilliantly OLED. In an exciting development for the audiovisual world, the successors to LG's acclaimed 2025 lineup have just made their first, albeit shadowy, appearance. The highly anticipated 2026 LG OLED C6 and G6 TVs have been officially spotted in a regulatory database, setting the stage for the next generation of premium displays.
This early revelation comes courtesy of the keen-eyed researchers at DisplaySpecifications, who uncovered the listings within the database of South Korea's National Radio Research Agency (NRRA). For any electronic device to be sold in a market, it must first receive certification from governing bodies like the NRRA, and this is often where we get our first unofficial glimpse of upcoming products.
You can view the public database of certified products on the NRRA's official website.
What the Listings Reveal
The NRRA filings confirm the existence of the 55-inch variants for both the LG C6 and the LG G6 models. This aligns perfectly with LG's established naming convention, where the "C" series represents the popular, feature-rich balance model, and the "G" series stands for the premium, gallery-style design with enhanced performance.
While the certification only lists the 55-inch size, it is a near-certainty that both series will be offered in a full range of sizes to suit different rooms and preferences. For context, the current 2025 LG OLED evo AI C5 is available in 42-inch, 48-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch, and 83-inch versions. The step-up 2025 G5, meanwhile, comes in 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch, 83-inch, and a massive 97-inch format. We expect the 2026 C6 and G6 to follow a similar, if not identical, size profile.
The detailed report from DisplaySpecifications notes that the filings themselves do not divulge any specific technical details about the new sets. The purpose of this certification is simply to approve the devices for sale, keeping their juicy specs a closely guarded secret for now.
Learning from the Predecessors: The 2025 C5 and G5
To understand where the C6 and G6 might be headed, it's helpful to look at the impressive foundation laid by their 2025 predecessors.
The current LG OLED evo AI C5 is a 4K smart TV powerhouse. It features a native 120Hz refresh rate with support for up to 144Hz for incredibly smooth gaming, full compatibility with Dolby Vision and HDR10, and LG's Brightness Booster technology for a more impactful HDR image. It runs on the latest webOS 25 platform and integrates seamlessly with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant.
The LG OLED evo AI G5, on the other hand, takes things even further. As another 4K smart TV, it also boasts a 120Hz native panel but pushes the variable refresh rate (VRR) support to a buttery-smooth 165Hz, making it a dream for PC and next-gen console gamers. Its key differentiator is the Brightness Booster Ultimate system, which leverages more advanced tech to deliver a significantly brighter picture, challenging the limits of OLED technology.
If you're looking to see the current state of the art, the 65-inch LG G5 is currently available on Amazon.
What to Expect from the 2026 LG C6 and G6
While specifics are under wraps, the industry trajectory gives us strong clues. We can expect both the C6 and G6 to build upon the robust feature set of the C5 and G5. The focus will undoubtedly be on three key areas:
- Even Brighter Panels: LG Display continues to refine its OLED evo technology. The 2026 models will likely feature new micro-lens array (MLA) or other light-boosting architectures to achieve new peaks in brightness, further enhancing HDR performance and combating glare.
- Smarter AI Processing: The "AI" in the current models' names is no gimmick. LG will almost certainly introduce a new, more powerful Alpha 11 or beyond processor that uses deep learning to upscale content more effectively, optimize sound for dialogue, and manage energy consumption.
- Enhanced Gaming Features: With 144Hz and 165Hz already on the table, LG may look to push refresh rates even higher or introduce more advanced gaming dashboards and compatibility with new console features. The integration of the wireless ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) standard could also be a key addition for some markets.
The Official Unveiling Awaits at CES 2026
As is tradition for LG's flagship TV lines, the world will get its first proper look at the OLED C6 and G6 series at the world's largest tech show. LG is expected to officially unveil these next-generation smart TVs at CES 2026, which will take place in January of that year.
This early regulatory spotting is the first tantalizing step in a long journey toward their retail release. For now, we wait, but the confirmation that the wheels are in motion is enough to build significant excitement for what promises to be another leap forward in home entertainment.
