From stunning 8K UHD displays to immersive spatial audio that surrounds you in three-dimensional sound, these innovations are elevating everyday moments into extraordinary experiences.

Congratulations to all of the CES Innovation Award 2026 honorees — visionary companies who are pioneering the progress of video and audio. Catch a glimpse below and then view the full list.

  • LG SIGNAUTURE OLED T delivers a groundbreaking visual experience through its transparent OLED display and wireless box solution. Designed to disappear seamlessly into any space, this TV allows the surrounding environment to remain visible when the display is not in use, leading to a new era of spatial and aesthetic freedom in video displays.
  • The ProArt Display PA27USD is a 27-inch professional monitor that is designed with color-critical work in mind, featuring a high contrast ratio of 15 million:1 and peak brightness up to 1000 nits. This display prioritizes color accuracy and reliability. 
  • Perisphere: Audio Meets Vision is the first headphone to integrate high-fidelity audio, a swing-down Full HD display, dual stereoscopic camera and stereo microphones into one familiar form. Perisphere turns headphones into private, portable media hubs. 
  • OpenDots ONE offers a portable alternative to traditional earbuds by clipping onto the outer ear with nothing blocking or covering the ear canal. As more people turn to open-ear audio for its comfort and awareness, OpenDots ONE offers a fresh approach to comfort and everyday usability while still providing premium sound quality. 
  • The Timekettle W4 AI Interpreter Earbuds redefine global communication as the world’s first in-ear translation device to combine Bone-Voiceprint Sensor Capture with LLM-powered, context-aware AI. The W4 AI Interpreter Earbuds are transforming translation into seamless human connection and setting a new standard for multilingual communication.
