Flat or curved? For TCL, it’s neither, as the Chinese manufacturer has teased a new monitor during DTC 2023 that features a dome-shaped panel, enabling what the company seems to think is a more immersive experience.
IT Home, which reported on the display last week, has shared some of the display’s marketing materials, confirming some of the specs for what TCL has described as “the world’s first 31-inch dome display”:
This is a 31-inch dome-shaped printed OLED gaming display with 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and wide 3D spatial viewing angle.
And here are some of the other display technologies that TCL showed off during the event:
85-inch UD Ultra high-definition TV display
This screen uses a WHVA panel, supports a 144Hz refresh rate, and has 90% BT2020 color gamut.
14-inch 4K OLED flexible screen
4K 120Hz specs, 2500 nits peak brightness.
57-inch dual 4K Mini LED monitor
32:9 ratio, R1000 curvature, 11000+ backlight partitions, 240Hz refresh rate.
The world’s first 27-inch 8K 2D/3D switchable light field display
The world’s first 6.9-inch ultra-flat UFG folding screen
The world’s first 6.9-inch ultra-flat UFG folding screen
IT Home didn’t seem to have any pricing information to share, but it did note that TCL also recently demonstrated “a 14-inch 2.8K printed OLED panel, the world’s first 65-inch 8K printed OLED curved display, the world’s first 150-inch MLCD zero-stitch commercial display screen, and Star Racing 3D head display.”

Join Discussion →I'm wondering how continuous that curve is on the dome display - if you put say nine for fifteen of them up, how well does it all fit together?
Congratulations a 31 inch monitor with the same usable desktop space as a 19 inch! Enjoy!
Based on the angles the curve is presented, I doubt that a top layer could be added, likey just sides.
I'm not necessarily opposed to dome shaped displays, but I think for them to work, they are going to have to be a lot bigger than just 31.5"
Might also require special game render modes to get the geometry of things displayed on screen right.
I agree. When I was using a curved TV as a monitor, I found it was fine. But sitting across the room from it, I didn't care for it and found it to be a complete gimmick. That said, around 50" more curve could help with the corners in making them more useful.
