CES 2026 in Las Vegas is in full swing, and while AI chips and massive TVs dominate headlines, the real magic is in the quirky, futuristic concepts pushing boundaries—from ultra-thin displays to interactive toys and downright bizarre edibles. Here’s a roundup of the standout innovations blending tech with everyday (and not-so-everyday) life.
TVs & Displays: Thinner, Brighter, and Smarter
LG revived its iconic Wallpaper TV with the OLED evo W6—a true wireless, 9mm-thin marvel that mounts flush to the wall like artwork. Powered by the α11 AI Processor Gen3, it features Hyper Radiant Color for unprecedented brightness and blacks, plus LG Gallery+ for displaying over 4,500 visuals, personal photos, or AI-generated art with mood-matching music.
On the brightness front, Hisense and Samsung are battling with massive Micro RGB screens. Samsung showcased a jaw-dropping 130-inch model, while Hisense pushed RGB Mini-LED tech for eye-searing luminance and color accuracy in sizes up to 163 inches.
Fun & Unique: Pure CES Weirdness
Lego’s Smart Bricks revolutionize play: interactive 2×4 bricks with sensors, speakers, and LEDs that react to builds with sounds and lights. Debuting in Star Wars sets March 1.
Takway’s Sweekar AI pet: a Tamagotchi successor that physically grows through life stages, remembers interactions, and develops personality.And the wildest: Lollipop Star bone-conduction candy—bite down to hear tunes (Akon, Ice Spice) vibrate through your teeth while you eat.
