TCL X3 32X3A

The TCL X3 32X3A gaming monitor features a sleek design thanks to the thin screen and the monitor stand with built-in speakers. Thanks to the OLED+ panel and 4K resolution, I game with realistic colors and razor-sharp images. The bezels on the display are slightly thicker than expected, but I hardly notice this while gaming.

Sleek design The most striking feature of the TCL X3 32X3A is the monitor's design. The screen is very thin and has a sturdy monitor stand. This makes the monitor look stylish on my desk and fits well with my setup. Additionally, I can tilt the monitor up to 15 degrees so that I am less bothered by reflections from sunlight. I expected the black bezels on the screen to be thinner, but despite that, they take up very little space. This allows me to see more of the virtual world of my favorite games. The monitor stand also has built-in speakers that direct the sound towards me, ensuring I can hear it clearly. The speakers are of good quality, meaning I don't need headphones when listening to my game soundtracks. I install the monitor without any problems, as the small screws and Allen key are included.

Vivid colors Thanks to the OLED+ panel, I game with lifelike colors. This panel ensures deep black levels and high brightness. This allows me to see even more contrast between light and dark colors. Additionally, the monitor features a DCI-P3 color space with 98.5 percent color coverage. As a result, colors blend smoothly into one another. I also game with sharp images thanks to the 4K resolution. Through dual mode technology, I switch between 2 different refresh rates and resolutions. For instance, I choose 4K and a refresh rate of 240 hertz when playing open-world games, such as Red Dead Redemption II or GTA. When playing fast-paced shooters or online games, I choose a Full HD resolution with a 480 hertz refresh rate. This makes the TCL X3 32X3A suitable for various types of games.

Meet all my expectations. Excellent image with the OLED deep blacks and deep colours. Build material is really great and the speakers are pretty good for being built-in. Everything feels fluid and snappy. The monitor has a roughly 1 cm thick bezel around that is not shown in the images, so it’s not quite as borderless as you might think and the thickness of the “arm” is slightly thicker than the images show as well. Despite that, it’s still a design that can not be found anywhere else for its price.
