The TCL company has announced a new desktop monitor – the model 32X3A, 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 utilized in single-player games or while working with multimedia, while the 480 Hz mode at a lower resolution is designed to help in e-sports titles, where fluidity and response time are crucial.
TCL Expands OLED Offering in Monitors
The manufacturer refers to the set of technologies used as "OLED+", although details regarding the panel construction (it is likely a proprietary TCL CSOT panel) have not been widely described. However, it is known that the monitor has a very thin housing of 6.4mm. The model 32X3A is the first monitor in the X series, which is intended to be positioned higher in TCL's offering. The company has been developing its own OLED panels and display technologies for several years, but until now it has been more associated with televisions than 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. The high refresh rate, very fast response time, and deep blacks are making this technology begin to compete with fast LCDs.
So far, TCL has not provided a price or exact date for the release of the 32X3A model for sale in Europe. However, it is available in China for about 6,000 yuan, which is approximately 3,500 PLN for us.
