TCL has launched two new desktop gaming monitors, the 32X3B and 27X3B, in China. Both displays are built around fourth-generation Tandem WOLED panels and feature integrated, front-facing speakers tuned by Bang & Olufsen.
TCL 32X3B and 27X3B Specifications
The higher-end 32X3B features a 32-inch fourth-generation Tandem WOLED panel with dual-mode operation, supporting 4K at 240Hz or 1080p at 480Hz. It also offers up to 1,500 nits peak brightness, native 10-bit colour, and 99.5% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage.
The port selection on the 32-inch model is fairly robust. It includes one DisplayPort 2.1 connection, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a USB-C port that handles up to 90W of power delivery. It also has a built-in KVM switch with two USB-A ports, making it easier to swap peripherals between a desktop and a plugged-in laptop.
The smaller TCL 27X3B is a 27-inch display with a 1440p resolution and a 280Hz refresh rate. It shares the same 1,500-nit peak brightness and color gamut specs as the 32-inch version, but its connectivity is more basic. It drops the USB-C port and KVM functionality, leaving one DisplayPort 1.4 connection, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Both monitors share a 6.4mm-thick chassis design that TCL calls Stargate, which includes rear ambient lighting and a tilt-adjustable stand. To address the text clarity issues that often plague WOLED panels, TCL is using a Matrix-Pure pixel structure designed to reduce color fringing around text and sharp edges.
The displays also use a glossy optical layer with circular polarization; TCL claims this reduces screen reflectivity to 1.1%, which should help maintain black levels if you are using the monitor in a bright room.
Instead of standard downward-firing monitor speakers, both models feature a front-facing speaker chamber developed with Bang & Olufsen. The audio is directed straight at the user and is managed by a dedicated DSP chip with multiple sound profiles.
For longevity, TCL has included its Kunlun Anti-Burn Shield system, a mix of thermal management and software algorithms designed to mitigate OLED burn-in over time.
Pricing and Availability
The TCL 32X3B has a retail price of 7,999 yuan ($1,180), with an early subsidized price of 6,499 yuan ($960). The 27X3B is priced at 4,999 yuan ($738), dropping to 3,699 yuan ($546) during the initial reservation period on JD.com.
