While arch-rival Samsung got the jump on its fellow Korean rival by giving its CES presentation last night, LG will be hitting the podium at breakfast time with the theme “Innovation in Tune with You.” And you can watch it unfold in real-time right here, and read our liveblog analysis, too.
As with many tech-focused events nowadays, AI is expected to serve as the unifying thread of LG’s CES 2026 presentation. That said, LG — much like Apple — has its own take on the acronym, referring to it as “Affectionate Intelligence.” The company will share “its vision for elevating daily life through Affectionate Intelligence — delivering harmonized and seamlessly connected customer experiences.” The irony, though, is that LG has already shown its cards, thanks to a long string of pre-show press releases offering details about a litany of new products (see below).
How to watch LG’s CES 2026 presentation
The event will stream live from Las Vegas on Monday, January 5 at 11AM ET. You’ve got a few options for tuning in — watch the livestream on the LG website, the LG Global X channel or the LG Global YouTube channel (embedded below).
Engadget will be in the room liveblogging the presser as well.
What to expect
Here’s what LG has already confirmed it will be showcasing at CES 2026:
-
LG will debut its first Micro RGB TV, a display with a cutting-edge screen technology with multicolor backlights that should one-up mini LED displays. The size options are 100 inches, 86 inches and 75 inches.
-
The company is countering Samsung’s Frame TVs with its new LG Gallery TV, arriving in 55- and 65-inch screen sizes.
-
Look for a new LG humanoid home automation robot named CLOiD to take the stage — and maybe give us a demo of folding laundry (yes, really).
-
In the audio realm, the Korean multinational will also introduce a Dolby-powered modular home audio system and a new line of its xboom speakers (developed with musician will.i.am).
-
LG is revamping its ultralight Gram laptop line with a proprietary material it calls Aerominum. Our own Devindra Hardawar got an early look at the new LG laptops, and was impressed: “[I]t seems LG has found a balance between building a super-light notebook (the 16-inch Gram Pro weighs just 2.6 pounds), and crafting something that actually feels durable.”
Does that leave any surprises for the CES press conference? We’ll find out soon.
