Chinese electronics giant TCL has unveiled its first OLED computer monitor, signalling a major expansion beyond the company’s established miniLED display portfolio.
The new 32-inch TCL 32X3A features a strikingly slim design measuring just 6.4mm at its thinnest point, making it one of the slimmest gaming monitors announced to date.
The display combines premium OLED visuals with high refresh rates aimed at both gamers and creative professionals.
The 31.5-inch panel delivers 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at 240Hz, with a dual-mode option that allows users to switch to 1080p at up to 480Hz for esports-style gaming.
TCL claims the monitor offers a 0.03ms response time and peak brightness of 1300 nits, along with 99 per cent DCI-P3 colour coverage.
Connectivity includes DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 ports and USB-C with 90W power delivery, enabling the monitor to double as a laptop docking solution. The stand also integrates speakers tuned by Bang & Olufsen.
The monitor is launching first in China this month for 5999 yuan (around A$1,330), with global availability yet to be confirmed. TCL traditionally launches new hardware in its domestic market before expanding internationally through major trade shows such as CES and IFA.
The move comes as TCL prepares to ramp up its OLED ambitions. The company is currently building a new 8.6-generation display plant designed to produce inkjet-printed OLED panels starting in 2027, potentially allowing TCL to compete more directly with display leaders LG and Samsung.
As reported last year, TCL’s display arm TCL CSOT is preparing a major investment in Gen 8 inkjet-printed OLED panel production following its acquisition of LG Display’s remaining LCD production facilities in China.
The project, known internally as the T8 Project, is expected to significantly reduce OLED manufacturing costs and could reshape competition in the global display market currently dominated by LG Display and Samsung.
TCL has already demonstrated prototype inkjet OLED panels across multiple form factors including smartphones, laptops, monitors and large TVs, and has achieved key technical milestones including OLED panels exceeding 350 pixels per inch.
TCL also announced a 27-inch miniLED gaming monitor capable of 550Hz at 1440p, with a dual-mode option pushing refresh rates to 1040Hz at 720p – part of a growing industry race toward ultra-high refresh displays.
A third model, the 27C3A Pro, features a 4K miniLED panel with 165Hz refresh rate (up to 330Hz at lower resolution), 2304 local dimming zones, and peak brightness of 2200 nits.
