The company TCL has announced a new monitor for desktop computers – the 32X3A model, which is set to open the X-series line. The device features a 31.5-inch OLED panel and offers two operating modes: 4K at 240 Hz or Full HD at 480 Hz. Information about the new model appeared on the industry website VideoCardz.
31.5-inch OLED and two refresh modes
The most important element of the monitor is the 31.5-inch OLED panel. By default, the screen operates at a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels with a refresh rate of 240 Hz. However, the manufacturer has provided an additional mode that can be switched with a single click – 1920 × 1080 at 480 Hz.
This type of solution is primarily aimed at gamers. The high resolution and 240 Hz can be used in single-player games or when working with multimedia, while the 480 Hz mode at a lower resolution is designed to assist in esports titles, where fluidity and reaction time are of utmost importance.
TCL expands its OLED offering in monitors
The manufacturer refers to the set of technologies used as “OLED+”, although details regarding the design of the panel (it is likely an in-house panel by TCL CSOT) have not been elaborated upon. It is known, however, that the monitor has a very thin casing of 6.4mm. The model 32X3A is the first monitor in the X series, which is meant to be positioned higher within TCL's offering. The company has been developing its own OLED panels and display technologies for several years, but until now has been more associated with televisions than with computer monitors.
The OLED Monitor Market is Growing Rapidly
The launch fits into a broader trend in the market. In recent years, monitor manufacturers have increasingly turned to OLED panels, especially in gaming models. High refresh rates, very fast response times, and deep blacks mean this technology is beginning to compete with fast LCDs.
So far, TCL has not provided a price or an exact date for the release of the 32X3A model for sale in Europe. However, it is available in China for around 6,000 yuan, which is about 3,500 PLN for us.
