In a move that has tech enthusiasts buzzing, LG has unveiled their incredibly slender “Wallpaper TV,” while Samsung is set to attract attention with its colossal 130-inch television, slated for release this year.

LG first introduced its “Wallpaper” television concept seven years ago with the OLED W model. Although it boasted a thickness comparable to a $2 coin, it required connection to a sizable soundbar via a ribbon cable for optimal functionality.

In recent years, the market has seen TVs expanding in size, with models like the 115-inch and a 116-inch from Hisense debuting in late 2025. However, Samsung’s leap to a 130-inch screen is sure to captivate audiences, albeit for those who can afford it, as their 115-inch version currently retails for a hefty $29,999.

These developments highlight a trend towards larger screens, with Australians increasingly opting for these expansive displays.

According to Simon Howe of Samsung Australia, the advancement of “Micro RGB” technology has enabled the production of such massive televisions.

“Large screens have transitioned from being a rarity to becoming a standard expectation,” Howe remarked.

“Responding to this demand, Samsung is introducing its largest Micro RGB TV with a timeless design that transforms the best picture quality into an artistic centerpiece to elevate home decor.

“Micro RGB is ideal for bringing friends and family together to share in moments that matter via life-like realism through unmatched colour accuracy, glare-free display, and added brightness, ideal for Australian living spaces.”

Both these TVs are at the top of the range and price brackets; however, there’s a vast range of new TVs coming across all price points in 2026.
