LG UNVEILS THE WALLPAPER TV:

THE WORLD’S THINNEST, TRUE WIRELESS OLED TV

The Iconic Wallpaper TV Returns in a 9mm Class Thin Form Factor with Hyper Radiant Color Technology

At CES 2026, LG Electronics (LG) unveils its latest OLED lineup, headlined by the return of an icon: the LG OLED evo W6, True Wireless Wallpaper TV. The W6 revives LG’s Wallpaper Design first introduced in 2017, now combined with True Wireless connectivity and the company’s most advanced picture innovation yet – Hyper Radiant Color Technology. Celebrating 13 consecutive years of OLED leadership, LG once again sets the standard for next generation display excellence with its full 2026 OLED evo series, all powered by this groundbreaking technology.

Innovation at Its Thinnest: The Wallpaper OLED TV with True Wireless

Leading the 2026 lineup is the LG OLED evo W6, envisioned to blend into the space while leaving just the experience. With a 9mm class thin body, achieved by meticulous miniaturization of essential components and a complete re-engineering of its internal architecture, the Wallpaper TV delivers a sleek, lightweight form without sacrificing structural integrity. An improved wall mount also enables the TV to sit flush against the wall from edge-to-edge, completing the intended Wallpaper Design.

LG’s True Wireless technology gives customers the freedom to place the Wallpaper TV almost anywhere in the room. All inputs are located on the Zero Connect Box — which can be positioned up to 10 meters away — for the TV’s remarkable thinness and minimal design.

Where sophisticated design meets advanced wireless technology to deliver visually lossless 4K video and audio wirelessly, the Wallpaper TV stands as the world’s thinnest True Wireless OLED TV. It demonstrates that a thin silhouette does not require a sacrifice in the viewing experience, delivering the full intensity of LG’s flagship picture quality.

Hyper Radiant Color Technology: The Next Evolution of OLED Brilliance

LG presents a new standard for the next OLED with its Hyper Radiant Color Technology: improving black, color, and brightness to the highest level while lowering reflection.

This evolution enables the Wallpaper TV to be the brightest ever. Powered by Brightness Booster Ultra, it achieves luminance levels up to 3.9 times brighter than conventional OLEDs.

For this increased brilliance to remain pristine in any viewing environment, the Wallpaper TV uses a screen specifically engineered for the lowest reflectance among LG TVs, earning the industry-first Reflection Free Premium certification from Intertek. With this breakthrough, users can experience the Perfect Blacks and Perfect Colors that LG OLED TV’s UL Solutions-verified displays are known for – now without distraction, even in brightly lit rooms.

Orchestrating these visual advancements is the new α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen3, featuring a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that is 5.6 times more powerful. This increase in computing power enables the new Dual AI Engine. Unlike traditional processors that often sacrifice natural texture to reduce noise, the Dual AI Engine runs parallel algorithms to execute both tasks simultaneously, resulting in a balanced image that retains natural detail while eliminating over-sharpening.

LG Gallery+: A Versatile Platform for Personalized Interiors 

LG Gallery+ complements the Wallpaper TV in empowering interior-conscious customers to tailor their living space to their unique tastes. The service transforms the screen into a versatile element that shapes the room’s atmosphere, offering over 4,500 visuals ranging from cinematic moments to game graphics alongside customers’ personal photo collections and images they created with Generative AI. Enhanced by mood-matching background music, LG Gallery+ elevates the TV into a dynamic tool for self-expression and interior styling. The service is available across the LG TV lineup including the Wallpaper TV.

Advanced Gaming Performance

LG continues to lead the gaming TV sector with features tailored for high-performance play. The Wallpaper TV alongside the 2026 OLED evo models support a 4K 165Hz refresh rate, NVIDIA G-SYNC® Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium, designed for tear-free, ultra-smooth gameplay. With a 0.1ms pixel response time and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), the displays offer the responsiveness sought by gamers.

AI TV Experience Personalized with Multi-AI, Made More Secure with LG Shield

LG’s vision for TV experience is ultra-personalization through its award-winning webOS platform. This year, through Voice ID users will be presented with their personalized 'My Page' home screen. With just a spoken command, the TV recognizes who is watching and instantly switches the interface to match the speaker’s profile — complete with personal widgets and apps — ensuring the content is always relevant to the current user, even if another family member was watching previously.

The customer experience is enriched by Multi-AI capabilities, integrating Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot to allow users to vocalize questions and receive tailored responses. An upgraded AI Concierge further enhances viewing by helping customers effortlessly explore content-related information with minimal interruption. Activated by voice or the Magic Remote, users can access the new 'In This Scene' feature for cast details and related content, with the novelty of generating images with AI. This entire ecosystem is secured by LG Shield, a CES 2026 Innovation Award-winner, which safeguards data through advanced encryption and security measures, letting users enjoy personalized experiences with peace of mind.

"The Wallpaper TV represents the beautiful convergence of our True Wireless leadership, form factor innovation, and 13 years of OLED mastery," said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. "LG continues to raise the bar for OLED TVs, setting the standard for what’s next."

Visitors to CES 2026 can experience the new Wallpaper TV and the full OLED evo lineup at the LG Electronics booth (#15004, Las Vegas Convention Center) from January 6-9. For more information, visit https://www.lg.com/global/newsroom/news/.

Sun Life survey reveals most Filipinos expect to keep working beyond retirement age

 

The Philippines’ aging population faces a growing retirement divide, according to Sun Life’s latest regional retirement survey. While many expect to work beyond retirement age by choice, a significant number are doing so out of financial necessity.

 

The survey, titled Retirement Reimagined: Asia’s Retirement Divide, found that 72% of respondents expect to continue working beyond age 65. Their motivations vary: 53% cite purpose and fulfillment, 41% seek mental stimulation, and 36% value social connections.

However, 71% say they need further income to support their daily living and long-term financial security.

 

"What we're seeing is not a single retirement experience, but two very different realities," said Benedict Sison, CEO and Country Head of Sun Life Philippines. "For those who are prepared, working longer can be a choice that offers flexibility and freedom. For others, it reflects financial pressure. Planning early and holistically is what determines which path people are on."

 

An option for some, an obligation for others

The research identifies two groups: 'Gold Star Planners' who are financially prepared and choose when to retire, and 'Stalled Starters' who delay retirement due to financial constraints.

 

Among Gold Star Planners, 73% expect to work beyond retirement by choice, motivated by staying active (38%) and social engagement (25%).

 

In contrast, 20% of Stalled Starters are unsure if they'll work beyond retirement, with half citing the need to save more as their primary reason for delaying it.

 

GenAI emerges as a risk factor, but human-led advice prevails

As more people turn to generative AI for financial decisions, the research highlights a growing risk of self-directed retirement planning without professional guidance. Use of tools such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini has more than tripled since the last survey, rising from 3% to 11%.

 

However, Filipino respondents are relying more on professional advice as compared to last year, with the same amount consulting banks (45%) and more people turning to independent financial advisors (44% vs 43%).

 

Despite the rise in digital curiosity, this shift underscores a growing preference for trusted, human-led guidance in navigating increasingly complex retirement decisions.

 

Financial Security Drives Retirement Optimism

Financial security is the strongest predictor of retirement optimism. Among non-retirees looking forward to retirement, 67% cite financial security as a key reason, followed by stability (36%) and feeling in control (26%).

 

Conversely, 47% of those not looking forward to retirement cite financial insecurity, while 44% worry about inability to support family financially.

 

Despite this, planning horizons remain short: 25% make no pre-retirement plans, 37% plan only within two years of retirement, and just 26% feel very confident about their retirement plans.

 

The Sandwich Generation Challenge

Many Filipinos support both elderly relatives and young dependents, leading 34% to downsize lifestyle expectations and 14% to postpone retirement.

 

Increasingly, people want control over retirement timing—86% believe retirement should be a personal choice rather than mandatory at a specific age. This sentiment is strongest among Gen Z (69% agree strongly) compared to Baby Boomers (46%). Overall, 82% favor allowing people to work beyond the Philippines' retirement age.

 

Health Equals Wealth in Retirement

Current health status strongly influences retirement outlook. Among those whose views on retirement have changed recently, 55% credit better than expected physical health and 44% cite improved mental health. Conversely, poor health drives 26% of early retirements.

 

"Health is a form of wealth in retirement, influencing both when people retire and the quality of life they enjoy," Sison said. "At Sun Life, we remain committed to understanding the evolving needs of our Clients by offering a comprehensive range of retirement planning solutions."

 

The findings in the Retirement Reimagined survey were analysed and established through a total of 3,006 interviews conducted online across Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam in November 2025. The research explores perspectives around what it means to age, confidence in achieving these aspirations, and the steps people are taking to make their vision of retirement a reality.

Lenovo and Asian Hospital Strengthen Healthcare Delivery Through Standardized, Reliable PC Infrastructure

 

Lenovo has partnered with Asian Hospital and Medical Center to enhance clinical efficiency and accelerate the hospital’s digital transformation by standardizing endpoint devices across the institution. As part of the Metro Pacific Hospital (MPH) Group—which operates nearly 30 hospitals nationwide—Asian Hospital has been at the forefront of MPH’s initiative to unify and modernize PC infrastructure across its network.

Asian Hospital, a premier tertiary institution located in the southern part of Metro Manila, is recognized as one of the group’s largest and most advanced facilities. Leading this effort is Frank N. Vibar, Chief Information Officer (CIO), who oversees hospital information systems (HIS), electronic medical records (EMR), network and data center infrastructure, and all end-user computing devices.

“Our mandate is not just to digitize,” says Frank N. Vibar, CIO, Asian Hospital and Medical Center. “Our mandate is to ensure that every piece of technology we deploy ultimately makes it easier for our clinicians to deliver safe, efficient, and high-quality patient care.”

Addressing Device Instability Affecting Patient Care

Prior to standardizing with Lenovo, Asian Hospital was using a wide mix of devices from multiple brands, resulting in inconsistencies in performance and reliability. Slowdowns, crashes, and unexpected shutdowns frequently disrupted clinical workflows, including medical record access and documentation. Device-related concerns were averaging over 200 support calls per month, often requiring urgent interventions from IT staff to keep care activities running.

“In a hospital context, a failing laptop is not just an inconvenience—it has a direct impact on patient care,” explains Vibar. “If a doctor is recording diagnoses or reviewing patient data and the device slows down or crashes, it disrupts the entire care process and creates frustration for both clinician and patient.”

This environment prompted Asian Hospital to seek a partner capable of delivering predictable, stable, and reliable end-user devices designed to support life-critical healthcare operations.

A Strategic Partnership for Standardization and Performance

Asian Hospital selected Lenovo for its strong reputation for reliability, enterprise-grade support, and robust product development.

“We needed a partner that could provide stability, consistency, and reliability—both in the devices themselves and in the support behind them,” says Vibar. “Lenovo gave us confidence that we could standardize without sacrificing performance or availability.”

Through close coordination, Lenovo and Asian Hospital aligned device categories to specific user workflows—for finance, HR, mobile users, nurse stations, ER units, and clinical areas requiring barcode-scanning for closed-loop medication workflows.

“We know our workflow and Lenovo knows its products,” Vibar shares. “By collaborating on user profiles and device types, we were able to match our requirements with the right endpoints and ensure that every device deployed delivers real value to the user.”

Transformative Results: From 200 Monthly Issues to Almost Zero

The transition to Lenovo devices has produced measurable improvements across Asian Hospital. As legacy devices were replaced with Lenovo units, monthly incident reports dropped from over 200 tickets to almost zero in Lenovo-equipped areas.

“As we gradually replaced legacy devices with Lenovo, complaints about performance and breakdowns from our doctors and nurses went from over 200 tickets a month to almost zero,” says Vibar. “That translates directly into smoother access to our hospital information system and electronic medical records, and ultimately, better continuity of patient care.”

The hospital also observed dramatically improved system performance, as doctors and nurses reported faster workflows and more stable access to HIS and EMR systems.

With endpoint issues nearly eliminated and more efficient IT operations, IT staff are now able to focus on upskilling in cybersecurity, networking, data analytics and AI integration. Additionally, with expanded availability of devices in critical areas, workflow analyses led to the deployment of additional Lenovo units in high-demand areas such as the Emergency Room. Signifying strong clinician satisfaction, users in Lenovo-enabled areas are now proactively requesting replacement of older units, signaling clear preference and confidence in the new standardized devices.

Asian Hospital’s Vision and Lenovo’s Role

As part of the MPH Group, Asian Hospital is pursuing its vision of becoming a flagship smart hospital—both within the organization and across the Philippine healthcare sector.

“Asian Hospital aims to be a flagship smart hospital for our group and for the Philippines,” Vibar affirms. “We want to keep Filipino patients from having to go abroad for care, and at the same time attract patients from other countries.”

With Lenovo as a long-term strategic partner, the hospital is ready to pilot new healthcare use cases, technologies, and innovations proven in hospitals abroad.

“If Lenovo has hospital use cases that are already tried and tested elsewhere, bring them here and we will help test them,” says Vibar. “If we see that a technology can improve healthcare delivery and patient care, we are ready to adopt it.”

Asian Hospital’s partnership with Lenovo underscores its commitment to advancing digital healthcare and delivering reliable, patient-centered services supported by smart, standardized technology.
