For more than 20 years, Gizmodo has headed to Las Vegas after ringing in the new year to cover the Consumer Electronics Show—aka CES—and 2026 is no different.
The consumer tech team will be on the ground at the year’s largest tech show to check out all of the innovation that companies big and small will be announcing.
There will be the usual new TVs with more pixels and colors than your eyes can appreciate and aesthetic Wi-Fi speakers that will only ever look good in a million-dollar loft. But the fun stuff will be devices like a gaming laptop with a screen that rolls horizontally, smart glasses that make it easier to post content to social media, and uh… the return of the QWERTY smartphone. We can’t wait to find the weirdest tech at CES 2026.
And while AI will no doubt be the top buzzword in every product pitch, we’re gonna do what we at Gizmodo have always done: not pull any punches. We’ll give kudos to products that deserve them and clown on the ridiculous and overpromised.
CES 2026 officially runs Jan. 6 through Jan. 9, but the news has already started to trickle out. So strap in and get ready for a joyride because we’ll be going hands-on with as many gadgets as soon as the crew lands in Sin City, and the best place to learn about it all as it unfolds is here on this live blog!
52 Inches of Gaming Monitor Perfection
Samsung’s not the only one that’ll be showing off a droolworthy gaming monitor. There’s no stereoscopic 3D, but LG’s UltraGear evo 52G930B looks absolutely bonkers. First of all, the mammoth display measures 52 inches diagonally. Second, it has a 5K2K resolutuion and 240Hz refresh rate. And third, it has a 1000R curve to wrap you in total immersion. I can’t wait to play Solitaire on this thing. —Raymond Wong
Glasses-Free 3D Monitors Just Won’t Die
I thought glasses-free 3D had already died, but somehow it keeps resisting the graveyard. Following up on its 27-inch Odyssey 3D, Samsung is showing off an even larger and higher-resolution version of its glasses-free gaming monitor, called the G90XH. The 32-inch display has a ridiculous 6K resolution and a native 165Hz refresh rate that can be “boosted to 330Hz” using a special “Dual Mode” feature.
I’m praying it supports more than 14 games and can play 3D movies because the original version we reviewed couldn’t. —Raymond Wong

What Could Possibly Go Wrong Here?
At CES a few years ago, Displace unveiled a cordless TV with a built-in battery that suctioned to a wall. One of my reporters at the time attended a demo and watched as the TV fell to the ground. Ouch.
Instead of selling an entire TV this time, the company is showing off a hub that attaches to the back of your own flatscreen, which then suctions to the wall. The idea is to turn any TV into a cordless one.
Our take? You have nobody to blame but yourself when you crack your own fancy Samsung or LG TV. —Raymond Wong
Get Ready for a Lot of Micro RGB TVs
CES is called a “TV show” because it’s always the first place to see the latest and greatest in picture technology. This year, we’re expecting to see a whole lot of TVs with Micro RGB. What the heck is that and why should you care? Our consumer tech reporter Kyle Barr has a great, short explainer. —Raymond WOng
