TCL unveils R94 series gaming monitors with 4K QD-Mini LED, 2304 zones & 165Hz refresh rate
TCL has launched the R94 series gaming monitors in the U.S., expanding its gaming portfolio alongside the R84 and G64 series. The announcement aligns with TCL’s new role as the official TV, soundbar, and gaming monitor partner for Call of Duty, timed with the launch of the Black Ops 7 beta.
The 27R94 is the flagship model in the lineup. It features a 27-inch QD-Mini LED panel with 4K UHD resolution (3840×2160), a 165Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 1600 nits. TCL has equipped the monitor with 2304 local dimming zones under its LD2300 Precise Dimming system.
The company uses advanced Micro lens and Micro-OD technology to boost dimming precision and control blooming. The monitor also includes TCL’s in-house CSOT HVA panel, which supports a dynamic contrast ratio of 16 million:1.
TCL claims that the 27R94 covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and reaches ΔE<2 professional color accuracy. The monitor supports 10-bit color (8-bit + FRC) and is Pantone Validated. Users can choose from preset color modes like DCI-P3, sRGB, and Adobe RGB. The monitor also supports a wide 178° viewing angle and offers 163 PPI for sharp image clarity.
For gaming, the monitor supports both FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility. TCL includes features like a 1ms GTG response time, customizable crosshairs, dark field control for better visibility in shadows, a real-time frame rate counter, and a game timer. Built-in stereo speakers and a built-in headphone hanger enhance the overall user experience.
The 27R94 also offers robust connectivity. It includes a 90W USB-C port with data, display, and charging support, two USB-A ports, one USB-B port for KVM control, DisplayPort, and HDMI inputs. The KVM switch allows users to control multiple devices using a single keyboard and mouse.
TCL equips the monitor with a five-way joystick for menu navigation and RGB lighting on the back panel. The company includes a flexible and height-adjustable stand for ergonomic setups. The monitor holds TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification and includes an eye care mode to reduce visual strain during extended use.
TCL has not yet confirmed pricing or retail availability for the R94 series, but the specifications suggest a strong push into the high-end gaming monitor segment.

TCL Launches 5G Mobile WiFi P50 and WiFi Router BE36 at CES 2026
TCL is done waiting for the future of connectivity; it just launched it. At CES 2026, the company unveiled the 5G Mobile WiFi P50 and WiFi Router BE36, two devices designed to cover the entire spectrum of modern connectivity needs, from your backyard to your basement office.
The TCL 5G Mobile WiFi P50 is more than a pocketable hotspot. It’s the first 5G mmWave mobile router that also supports both fast charging and wireless charging. It packs a 5000mAh battery for up to 12 hours of portable use, doubles as a power bank, and features a 2.4-inch touchscreen for live network stats. On the connectivity side, it delivers up to 3.97Gbps via full-spectrum 5G (mmWave + Sub-6), and tri-band Wi-Fi 7 speeds topping 5.8Gbps for up to 64 devices. There’s even a Gigabit Ethernet port for times when wireless just won’t cut it.
While the P50 is built for mobility, the TCL WiFi Router BE36 is focused on home performance. It offers 3.6Gbps Wi-Fi 7 across dual bands, supports up to 512 device connections, and leverages 3T3R (2ss) antenna tech to boost range. It’s EasyMesh R6 compatible too, meaning you can deploy multiple units to blanket large homes in a seamless, zero dead-zone network.
Security hasn’t been left behind either. The BE36 includes firewall-level protection with malware filters, brute-force attack detection, and smart-home security baked in. There’s even a built-in VPN suite and a dedicated gaming acceleration mode. Rounding it off is a 2.5GE port for serious wired performance.
In related news, TCL also unveiled the RayNeo Air 4 Pro, billed as the world’s first HDR10-enabled AR glasses, alongside the NxtPaper 70 Pro tablet with a dedicated eye-care display and stylus support at CES 2026.

TCL Unveils World’s First HDR10 AR Glasses: RayNeo Air 4 Pro at CES 2026
TCL’s RayNeo has introduced the RayNeo Air 4 Pro AR glasses at CES 2026. The device is the world’s first AR glasses to support HDR10, aiming to deliver a cinema-like viewing experience in a lightweight wearable form.
RayNeo originally launched the Air 4 Pro in China last year. The company is now taking the product global, positioning it as a new category of “head-mounted TV.” The glasses feature a 201-inch virtual display at a 6-meter distance and weigh just 76 grams. They connect to USB-C display output devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and gaming consoles such as the Nintendo Switch 2.
The Air 4 Pro is powered by the custom Vision 4000 chip. The processor enables real-time video enhancements, including upscaling SDR content to HDR and converting 2D video into 3D. The glasses support HDR10 for richer contrast and more vibrant color reproduction.
For audio, RayNeo collaborated with Bang & Olufsen to design a four-speaker system. The glasses use directional sound tubes to provide immersive audio while minimizing sound leakage. The sound system has been fine-tuned by B&O’s audio engineering team.
The design focuses on comfort and portability. Adjustable nose pads and a balanced frame allow for extended use. The lightweight build makes it suitable for travel and on-the-go entertainment.
RayNeo plans to launch the Air 4 Pro globally on January 25 for $299. The price undercuts many other AR glasses in the market, making it one of the most affordable options in its class.
If you are planning to buy an AR headset right now, the Air 3s Pro is also worth considering, as it is currently on sale for $249.
