ASRock expands its Taichi brand into the gaming monitor market with three new 27-inch OLED displays.
The lineup includes the TCO27USA, the TCO27QXA, and the TCO27QXB. The TCO27USA features a Quantum Dot OLED panel with a 4K resolution and a 240 Hz refresh rate. It carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and delivers 250 nits of SDR brightness with a peak HDR output of 1,000 nits. This model targets users who prioritize image fidelity and resolution over extreme frame rates.

ASRock does not specify the exact resolution for the 720 Hz mode on the TCO27QXB, but the term HD suggests 1,280×720. This model is the brightest in the group, claiming 335 nits SDR and 1,500 nits peak HDR brightness. All three monitors include HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 inputs for high-bandwidth connectivity.
