LG's W TV can't stand by itself on legs or a pedestal. Instead, it requires a wall.

It's crazy thin! LG say the W name comes from "window, wallpaper -- and wow."

LG's airport robot also took a spin around the stage at CES 2017. This droid will roam airports and offer helpful information. It will appear in the Incheon airport in South Korea later this year.

LG's Hub Robot, seen here on the left alongside the airport droid, works like an Amazon Echo. It takes voice commands, which in turn lets you control your smart oven, robot vacuum and other connected home devices.

LG is going all-in with smart home devices. It's robot vacuum cleaner, for instance, can recognize the difference between a table leg and a human one, and will even ask you to get out of the way so it can continue cleaning.

The revolution will be laundered -- and will be extra clean. LG's washing machine can recognize if there's an excess of dirt and add a second rinse cycle.
