LG wins CES innovation awards for OLED T6 & appliances

LG Electronics has received CES 2027 Innovation Awards across multiple product categories, including a Best of Innovation honour for its LG SIGNATURE OLED T6.

The awards span Art Tech, Video Displays, Gaming & eSports and Home Appliances, covering televisions, monitors and household products. The Consumer Technology Association presents the CES Innovation Awards ahead of the annual consumer technology show.

The Best of Innovation award for the LG SIGNATURE OLED T6 marks the fifth consecutive year an LG OLED television has received the programme's top distinction. In the Art Tech category, the 77-inch 4K set combines transparent OLED technology with 60GHz-based uncompressed 4K wireless transmission and a retractable contrast screen that switches the display between transparent and opaque modes, according to LG.

LG said viewers can raise the contrast screen for standard OLED picture viewing or lower it to create a transparent display that reveals the space behind the panel. It also said the wireless transmission system reduces cable connections to other devices, while content built for the transparent screen is intended to support different viewing formats.

Display Awards

Another television recognised by the programme was the LG OLED evo AI W7, which won in the Video Displays category. LG described it as its next-generation wireless Wallpaper TV.

LG said slim design elements extend across the panel, main board and speakers, while wireless technology transmits video and audio between the screen and connected equipment. The model also includes the company's latest agentic AI system, designed to interpret user preferences and tailor the viewing experience.

In gaming hardware, the LG UltraGear 25G590B received an Innovation Award in the Gaming & eSports category. LG said the 24.5-inch Full HD monitor is the first to offer a native 1,000Hz refresh rate at that resolution.

LG positioned the display for competitive first-person shooter gaming, citing response times and motion clarity aimed at professional and esports use. The refresh-rate claim was based on publicly available information on gaming monitors introduced by consumer brands as of May 19, 2026, according to the company.

Home Appliances

LG also received multiple honours in the Home Appliances category. The recognised products were the LG SIGNATURE 30-inch Combination Wall Oven, the LG 25-inch Closet Fit WashTower and the LG Hair Dryer.

According to LG, the wall oven was recognised for combining cooking functions with AI-based features. The WashTower, an all-in-one laundry unit, was highlighted for its space-saving form factor and features including AI Wash and AI Dry, alongside a flat cabinet structure and hidden hinge design intended to simplify installation and access.

The LG Hair Dryer was recognised for its Triple Airfluidics technology. LG said it is designed to produce strong airflow without excessive heat while helping to preserve moisture inside the hair.

LG cited testing by independent third-party institute P&K Skin Research Centre, which found that hair dried with the LG Hair Dryer showed an internal moisture change rate of -9.41 per cent immediately after drying. The company added that actual results may vary depending on hair type, condition and usage environment.

Broader Context

The recognition adds to LG's recent run in the CES awards programme, particularly in televisions. Previous Best of Innovation-winning OLED models include the LG SIGNATURE OLED T, LG OLED evo G, LG OLED evo M and LG OLED Flex, according to the company.

LG has operations in almost every country and a workforce of more than 75,000, according to company figures. Its four business divisions - Home Appliance Solution, Media Entertainment Solution, Vehicle Solution and Eco Solution - generated combined global revenue of more than KRW 89 trillion in 2025, the company said.

LG said the full list and details of its CES 2027 Innovation Award-winning products will be revealed on January 4, 2027.
