The 6 Best Ultra Slim TVs
Updated by · How we research
From 9.9 mm to about 1.8 inches deep: six ultra slim OLED and art TVs compared on depth, wall mounts, picture and price, led by the LG W6 Wallpaper. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.
Thin doesn't buy a better picture, and the slimmest sets tend to have the weakest speakers. Ultra slim TVs hang almost flat against the wall, from under half an inch to about 1.8 inches deep. OLED sets get thin because each pixel makes its own light, while LED art TVs use slim frames and flush mounts. They suit buyers who want a near-flush TV.
From the manual
- Keep the box below the screen's receiver with a clear path; range is 10 m in front, 3 m to the side or below. p. 7
- Don't run two wireless TVs or boxes in one room, and keep a soundbar from blocking the screen's receiver. p. 7

Why the LG W6 Wallpaper is our top pick
It is by far the thinnest pick: LG lists the panel at 9.9 millimeters and ships it with a flush wall mount and no stand.1 Our runner-up, the LG C6, has the same kind of self-lit OLED picture, but a 65-inch C6 is 45.1 millimeters deep off its stand4 and needs a separately bought VESA bracket.5
The W6 gets that thin by moving every input to the Zero Connect Box, which talks to the screen over a 60 GHz link that obstacles disrupt.2 The manual sets the rules: keep the box lower than the screen's receiver with nothing in between, and stay within 10 meters straight in front or 3 meters to the side or below.2 Two wireless sets in one room can interfere, and a soundbar mustn't block the receiver.2
Coverage favors our pick too. Its US warranty card covers parts and labor for a year and the OLED panel through year five, with labor charged after year one,3 while the C6 gets one year of parts and labor.6 The card doesn't cover taking the TV down and rehanging it for repair.3 The trade-offs are size and cost: the W6 comes only in 77 and 83 inches2 and costs far more. For a smaller screen, a stand or inputs on the TV itself, the C6 is the better buy.
| LG W6 Wallpaper | LG C6 | |
|---|---|---|
| Depth off the stand | 9.9 mm | 45.1 mm (65-inch) |
| In the box | Flush wall mount, no stand | Stand; wall mount extra |
| Inputs | Wireless box, 10 m in front, 3 m to the side | On the TV |
| Sizes | 77 and 83 in | 42 to 83 in |

Editor's Notes
November 4, 2026, by Ezvid Wiki Editors:
This pass read LG's manuals for the W6 and C6 and its US warranty card for the W6, Sony's Bravia 6 Help Guide and the TCL and iFFALCON user guides, and added a spec table, a section on why the W6 leads and manual notes. We corrected the claim that no slim 32-inch TV exists, limited the five-year panel warranty to LG's G and W series and added the W6 box's placement limits. We dropped two unsupported iFFALCON drawbacks and updated the Hisense entry from a review of this model.
October 18, 2026, by Ezvid Wiki Editors:
The LG W6 Wallpaper leads, with a panel under a centimeter thick. It's the true successor to the old LG WX, while the LG CX and LG GX live on as newer C and G models. Every TV on the old list was a 2019 or 2020 model, and all of them are gone or replaced, so this is a fresh start.
We kept to 2026 models except at the budget end, where the iFFALCON F75 is a 2025 set that is still on sale. That ruled out some excellent 2025 sets that are still around, so we name them in the guide instead. The rest of the list covers the ways people actually shop for a thin TV: a mainstream OLED in the LG C6, art-style sets like the Hisense S7 CanvasTV that hang flat out of the box, a small Sony Bravia 6 OLED for tight rooms, a 75-inch TCL and a budget iFFALCON F75.
One honest note: thin doesn't buy you a better picture, and the slimmest sets tend to have the weakest speakers.
Earlier notes
July 15, 2020, by Daniel Imperiale:
While OLED technology is still pretty expensive, there's no denying that it's the source of the majority of slim televisions on the market, as its self-illuminating diodes don't need those extra layers for a backlight array. There's still a need for speakers, inputs, and circuitry, however, which can result in TVs with incredible image quality that still measure too thick for many users.
In updating our list, we took a look at the latest releases from the top brands on the market, and held them to stringent standards, excluding any model measuring more than three inches deep. Some models came pretty close to that threshold, like the Samsung TU-8000, which, to be fair, isn't an OLED offering, making it an excellent choice for anyone on a budget who still wants something incredibly thin.
Others are almost too thin to believe, like the Samsung Q900T, which is an absurdly expensive QLED 8K option. Then there's the LG WX 65, which measures just 0.15 inches deep. It's an OLED model, but that doesn't account for its thinness alone. That's because LG took all that other hardware — the inputs, speakers, etc. — and separated them from the panel itself, connecting them by way of a high-quality soundbar that comes with the TV. Is it cheating to just remove all that for the sake of thinness? We don't think so, especially since so many people would opt for a soundbar as their primary speaker, or at least a source of the center channel in a 5.1 setup.

If you're looking for the slimmest TV you can find, we've got you covered. Pretty much everything on our list right now is two inches thick or less at its thickest point. The only one that exceeds that is the Hisense H9e Plus, which is about 54 millimeters thick on the bottom. Sony's X930E is a bit more costly, but it has the quality you'd expect from the Japanese entertainment giant.
If you're okay with dropping a huge chunk of change, the Hisense laser projector is an awesome device that comes with a relatively high-quality sound system. Alternately, the Samsung Q900 is an 8K display, and while there aren't many movies out that can take full advantage of it, you can trust that it's extremely future-proof. But the LG W9 takes home the title of "slimmest TV", as both commonly available models are only 4 and 6 millimeters thick, excluding the external box that does allt he processing and houses a pair of speakers. Sony's A9G is a bit cheaper than all three of those and leverages a number of advanced technologies to deliver a super-rich OLED picture as well.
Closer to most people's budgets, LG's C9 is their most popular OLED model, and one of the top TVs on the market today. But you simply can't ignore Samsung's thinnest models. The Q90 is their most recent flagship, and it's a truly excellent TV, although some feel that it's inferior to the Q9FN from the year before. That particular top-of-the-line release is the most balanced, as it's surprisingly affordable, and is exactly one inch thick, no matter where on the unit you measure. Finally, The Frame by Samsung is a very interesting choice that streamlines the entertainment experience by turning your living room into an art gallery. Guests and family members will be impressed when the priceless Rembrandt on your wall turns into The Avengers in 4K at the touch of a button.
Special Honors
LG OLED evo G6 LG's 2026 Gallery OLED is built to hang flat. Most versions ship with a slim wall mount instead of a stand, and it runs at up to 165 hertz. It sits between the C series and the W6 Wallpaper, and LG sells it directly. lg.com
Samsung S95H Samsung's 2026 flagship OLED is about an inch deep and mounts flush with Samsung's slim-fit wall mount. It ships on feet, and an optional wireless box can take over its inputs. samsung.com
What Thin Really Measures
The second is the whole body without a stand, including the bulge that holds the electronics.
Thickness figures mix up three different things. The first is the panel itself, the glass at the edge. LG lists the W6 Wallpaper at 9.9 millimeters there. The second is the whole body without a stand, including the bulge that holds the electronics. LG's 2025 G5 measures 24.3 millimeters (LG Canada), while the C5 is 45.1 millimeters (LG Canada). The third is the depth on its stand, usually 7 to 15 inches, which says nothing about how far the TV sticks out from a wall.
For scale, an average 50-inch TV in 2026 is about 3.2 inches thick (BGR). OLED gets thinnest, because it has no backlight layer. LED and Mini LED sets can come close, such as the Hisense S7 CanvasTV, which Hisense lists at 1.2 inches in the 55-inch size.
Small thin TVs are rare. One exception is a 32-inch version of Samsung's 2023 The Frame, still sold and about an inch deep, though it's a 1080p set that tops out at 60 hertz. Among our picks, the LG C6 comes smallest, in a 42-inch size about 1.6 inches deep (LG Canada), and the Sony Bravia 6 starts at 48 inches.
Hanging It Flat: Mounts, Gaps And Boxes
A thin TV only looks thin on the wall if the mount lets it sit close. The LG W6, Hisense S7 CanvasTV, TCL A400U Designer and iFFALCON F75 include flush mounts. Even so, LG notes that a slight gap may remain with its supplied mount. The LG C6 and Sony Bravia 6 ship with a stand only, and a standard tilting bracket holds the screen farther from the wall than a flat one. Match the bracket to the TV's VESA hole pattern and its weight, and fix it into studs or the anchors its maker specifies.
The thinnest designs move the inputs into a separate box. LG says the W6's Zero Connect box works up to about 30 feet away, but its owner's manual gives that range only straight in front of the screen, with nothing in between. To the side or below, it drops to about 10 feet. Samsung's S95H can add an optional wireless One Connect box, sold separately (Samsung). Either way, the screen still needs a power cord, so plan where the outlet goes before you drill.
If the TV stays on furniture, anchor it. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission counted 217 tip-over deaths from 2013 through mid-2023, and nearly half involved a TV (CPSC report). Its Anchor It campaign explains how to strap a TV and stand to the wall.
Picture, Sound And Care
Thin doesn't mean a better picture. OLED gets its slim body for free and adds true blacks. Art-style LED sets trade contrast for the frame look. Reviewing the S7 CanvasTV for Popular Mechanics in September 2026, Ryan Waniata, a full-time A/V journalist since 2011, found that with no local dimming, dark scenes in a dim room turn "a dim navy, with milky blotches." His advice: "If image quality is a serious priority, I would steer you away from an art TV toward a conventional mini-LED or OLED TV." Thin bodies leave little room for speakers, too. What Hi-Fi called the sound of LG's G5 dull and found Samsung's S95F distorts at high volume (What Hi-Fi). Plan on a soundbar for movies.
OLED can burn in. In a long-running torture test, RTINGS found newer OLEDs weren't clearly more resistant than older ones, because they run brighter. Mixed viewing is fine. Hours of the same news ticker, game display or PC desktop is the risk, so leave the panel's care features on. LG's G and W series carry a five-year limited panel warranty, with parts and labor covered only in the first year (LG warranty). The LG C6 gets one year of parts and labor.
The 2025 versions of several slim sets are still sold and often discounted: the LG G5 (24.3 millimeters, flush mount included), the Samsung S95F (about 11 millimeters), the Sony Bravia 8 II and the LG C5. They aren't ranked here because newer models replaced them, but they remain strong choices if the price is right.
How we researched this
Fifteen current slim TVs were weighed against each other and the 9 models on the old list. For this pass we read LG's owner's manuals for the W6 and the C6 series and its US warranty card for the G and W models, Sony's Bravia 6 Help Guide, and the US user guides for the TCL A400U and iFFALCON F75 series, next to each maker's spec pages; we found no S7SG manual online, so Hisense's product page stood in. Measured reviews from RTINGS, What Hi-Fi, Popular Mechanics and choose.tv covered picture and sound, and the 3D models are built from published dimensions. A search of the CPSC recall database found no TV recalls from LG, Hisense, Sony, TCL or iFFALCON since January 2024.

Frequently asked questions
What is the thinnest TV you can buy?
The LG W6 Wallpaper, with a panel LG lists at 9.9 millimeters. It comes in 77 and 83 inches and puts its inputs in a separate wireless box.
Is there an ultra slim 32-inch TV?
Barely. Samsung still sells a 32-inch version of its 2023 The Frame, about an inch deep, but it's a 1080p set limited to 60 hertz. None of our picks comes that small: the smallest is the 42-inch LG C6, about 1.6 inches deep.
Can a thin TV hang flush against the wall?
Yes, with the right mount. Several art-style TVs and the LG W6 include a flush mount. Others need a low-profile bracket, and a gap of a few millimeters to about an inch usually remains.
Do thin TVs sound worse?
Usually, yes. Slim bodies leave little room for speakers, and reviewers often call the sound thin or dull. A soundbar fixes it.
Is OLED or LED better for a thin TV?
OLED is thinner and has true blacks, but it can burn in with static images. LED art TVs cost less, resist burn-in and often have matte screens, but their contrast is weaker.
