For consumers prioritizing maximum screen size per dollar, projectors currently outperform televisions. While TVs offer superior brightness for daylight viewing, projectors provide larger image sizes, better color fidelity, and greater spatial flexibility at comparable price points.
LG faces backlash over intrusive ads on its TVs and gaming monitors after reports that the LG Monitor App Install could trigger pop-ups for McAfee on Windows PCs; Microsoft stepped in and LG reportedly disabled the prompts. LG asserts McAfee is not auto-installed and requires explicit user consent, while critics note this points to LG’s broader home-screen ad strategy under its Ad Solutions division, which may attract further complaints.

Best Buy’s Memorial Day sale drops Pioneer’s 70-inch 4K Roku TV to $299 (a $210 savings from $509.99), a standout price for a 70-inch set with HDR10 and three HDMI ports, backed by solid review scores.
Tom’s Guide’s decade-tested TV reviewer highlights five 2026 models to watch: LG B6 OLED (value OLED), Samsung R95H (RGB Mini-LED flagship), LG G6 (RGB Tandem OLED with brighter HDR), Hisense UR8 (RGB Mini-LED value), and Samsung S95H (QD-OLED flagship). The year’s evolution centers on RGB Mini-LED and brighter OLED tech, with prices ranging from budget-friendly to premium for high-end sets.
Hisense’s UR9 RGB LED TV (65-inch tested at $3,500; available in 65/75/85/100 inches) uses individual RGB LEDs to deliver bright HDR with colors beyond P3 and offers 3 HDMI 2.1 ports plus a USB-C DisplayPort on Google TV. It’s competitive with flagship OLEDs on brightness and value, but OLED still wins on contrast; RGB LED is a promising path forward, though not yet a replacement for OLED.

Deals are time-limited and prices can rebound after the sale ends.
What Hi-Fi? goes hands-on with Philips OLED911, a premium 2026 OLED that pairs RGB Tandem OLED 2.0, Ambilight with AmbiScape room ambience syncing, Dolby Vision 2 Max, and a gaming-focused setup (165Hz VRR, four HDMI 2.1 ports) with a reworked Bowers & Wilkins 81W speaker system. It runs Titan OS on a MediaTek Pentonic 800 and uses a new P5 AI processor for HDR tone-mapping. The chassis is slim (39.9mm) with a redesigned Ambilight bar. UK pricing hints place the OLED910 around £2199 for the 65-inch, OLED911’s price isn’t confirmed; Philips isn’t selling this range in the US/Australia. Early impressions show bright, punchy colors and strong gaming performance, though some banding appeared in streamed content; full verdict to come in the complete review.
Tom’s Guide argues that 2026 marks RGB LED TVs’ ascent, with brands like Samsung and Hisense rolling out RGB LED models that could supplant high-end Mini-LED sets. While RGB LED promises brighter, purer color, it’s still early days: the market could either replace flagship Mini-LEDs with RGB LED or redefine both categories as RGB LED models prove their performance in real-world testing. The article discusses specific RGB LED models from Hisense and Samsung and compares them to last year’s Mini-LED flagships, noting this pivot could reshape the high-end LCD market in coming years.
LG will add support for Samsung's Eclipsa Audio — a Dolby Atmos rival developed with Google — to its 2026 TV lineup, with a free update bringing the format to select 2025 models (G5, C5, CS5, QNED9M). Eclipsa Audio delivers spatial sound through built‑in speakers or compatible soundbars and carries no licensing fees. LG confirms HDR10+ and Dolby Vision 2 won’t be added, sticking with its Dolby Vision focus for now. The move signals broader, cross‑brand interest in Eclipsa, potentially reaching Netflix/Amazon and Fire TV ecosystems in the future.
LG has announced US pricing for its new C6 and G6 OLED TVs. The C6 range runs from 42" to 83" with prices from $1,399 to $5,299; the 77" and 83" models use LG's Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel and Alpha 11 Gen 3 processor, while smaller sizes stay as W-OLED. The G6 lineup spans 55" to 97" with prices from $2,499 to $24,999, also featuring the new panel tech in the larger sizes. LG claims up to 20% brighter performance versus the G5 and blacks under 0.24 nits in bright rooms. UK pricing isn't confirmed yet; both lines are available to pre-order in the US and will ship later this month.
LG says the G6 OLED TV’s colors in Filmmaker Mode are deliberately toned down compared with the G5 to deliver more natural tones, following creators’ feedback that the G5’s palette was too vibrant. The G6 is touted as up to 20% brighter (around 400 nits fullscreen vs about 331 nits for the G5 in Filmmaker Mode) with processing improvements like Alpha 11 Gen 3, Hyper Radiant Color Technology and enhanced tone mapping, plus better handling of reflections. In demonstrations, the G5 appeared more punchy in color, though the G6 offered improved highlights and reduced glare; full lab measurements are pending to confirm overall differences.
