Introducing the ‘Tachi Series’ monitors for 2026

One of the key launches for ASRock at Computex was their new ‘Taichi Series’ monitors, representing the latest monitor technologies and panels, along with a new design aesthetic. The ‘Taichi series’ was announced by ASRock at CES back in January, but we are now seeing them officially on show at Computex, and loads more information has now been provided about their new flagship line-up. The Taichi series which will sit alongside their established Phantom Gaming range, and the line-up is going to include their most advanced products in terms of display technologies.

Common specs across the new Taichi series models

There’s some consistent specs and features across this new series which includes:

  • Stand ergonomics: a full range of tilt, height, swivel and rotate adjustments
  • Video connectivity: 2x DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR 20), 2x HDMI 2.1 and 1x USB Type-C (with 65W power delivery)
  • Additional connectivity: 2x USB Type-A data ports (and 1x USB-B) along with 1x headphone jack
  • Extra features: KVM switch function and 2x 3W integrated speakers
  • Factory calibration: offering accuracy with DeltaE < 2

There were various new models showcased at the event which we will run through here:

27″ 4K Tandem WOLED with RGB-stripe – ASRock Taichi TCO27USB

ASRock unveiled for the first time their new 27″ 4K resolution monitor at the event, featuring the latest 4th Gen Tandem WOLED panel from LG Display and offering an RGB-stripe sub-pixel layout. This is actually only the second monitor we’ve seen announced using this new panel (the other is from Asus) and this provides an exciting new panel choice in this segment.

The 3840 x 2160 resolution on a screen of this size provides a high 166 PPI pixel density, and combined with the RGB-stripe sub-pixel layout and a glossy screen coating provides excellent sharpness, image quality and text clarity.

Because of the removal of the traditional white sub-pixel from the panel design, the brightness of this panel is reduced a little compared with other modern WOLED panels. It reaches 250 nits for SDR, 1000 nits peak for HDR and meets the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification tier.

The screen has a 240Hz native refresh rate, with a dual-mode function that can support 480Hz at a lower 1080p resolution for certain gaming situations. As we discussed earlier, this (and all the other new Taichi series screens) features a wide range of modern connectivity options including DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR 20) and USB type-C (65W power delivery).

Availability and pricing

It’s due to be released in Q4 sometime and we know that panel mass production for the underlying WOLED panel has now commenced. Pricing is still TBC for this model.

27″ 4K Penta Tandem QD-OLED – ASRock Taichi TCO27USA and TCO27USA-W

Also on show is the new TCO27USA which is available in two versions, one with a black design and the other with a white design (with a “W” on the end of the product name). These are 27” QD-OLED monitors boasting a 3840 x 2160 “4K” resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate.

They are built around a 4th Gen Penta Tandem QD-OLED panel from Samsung Display offering a high pixel density for super sharp and clear images. This gives you an alternative to the 4K WOLED model discussed above.

The 240Hz refresh rate is supported by adaptive-sync for VRR and includes certification under the AMD ‘FreeSync Premium Pro’ scheme. For HDR it is certified under the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 tier and offers a peak brightness of 1000 nits (3% APL). In other specs there is a 0.03ms G2G response time, 250 nits SDR brightness and a wide colour gamut covering 99% of the DCI-P3 colour space.

Availability and pricing

The black design version is expected to be released in July at a price of $799 USD, while the white design version might arrive slightly later around August time at $50 more, at $849 USD.

27″ 540Hz Tandem WOLED – ASRock Taichi TCO27QXB

ASRock have unleashed one of the fastest OLED monitors into the gaming market with the TCO27QXB. This model features a 27” screen, built around the latest Tandem WOLED panel from LG Display. It has a 2560 x 1440 resolution and a super-fast 540Hz refresh rate for competitive gaming situations and those looking for the fastest speeds possible. If you need even faster speeds then a dual-mode function is on hand which allows you to increase your refresh rate to an even higher 720Hz (the highest currently available in an OLED screen) when switching to a lower 720p (HD) resolution.

ASRock have opted to use the glossy coated version of this panel for their Taichi display, offering a super-sharp and clear image which a lot of people love on OLED monitors. This continues to offer an excellent image quality in the right viewing environments.

The super-high refresh rates will be supported by adaptive-sync for VRR and includes certification under the AMD ‘FreeSync Premium Pro’ scheme. For HDR performance the screen has been certified under the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 tier as well, a step up in brightness requirements compared with True Black 400 certified monitors and it offers a 1500 nits peak brightness spec (1.5% APL) and 335nits for SDR / 100% APL.

Availability and pricing

This model is due to be released in July at a very competitive price point of $699 USD.

27″ 500Hz QD-OLED – ASRock Taichi TCO27QXA

Also on show was the TCO27QXA which was originally announced briefly at CES back in January, but we are pleased to see it take to the floor again here in Taiwan with more information now available. It features a 27” screen built around a 3rd Gen QD-OLED panel from Samsung Display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution and a super-high 500Hz refresh rate to deliver both superior visuals and ultra-smooth motion clarity. This model is very much focused on competitive gamers, and provides a QD-OLED alternative to the Tandem WOLED model (TCO27QXB) we discussed above. It’s great to see ASRock offering a choice in their range between QD-OLED and WOLED models.

The QD-OLED based models have a slightly different design aesthetic compared with the WOLED versions, with a hexagonal shaped foot instead of V-shaped, and a more rounded rear enclosure with a different RGB-stripe design. You can see photos of the rear of the WOLED screens above where we talk about the TCO27USB model.

The ultra-fast 500Hz refresh rate will be supported by adaptive-sync for VRR, including certification under the AMD ‘FreeSync Premium Pro’ scheme. For HDR the screen comes with certification under the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 tier and offers a peak brightness of 1000 nits (3% APL). In other specs there is a 0.03ms G2G response time, 300 nits SDR brightness and a wide colour gamut covering 99% of the DCI-P3 colour space.

Availability and pricing

This model is due to be released in July at a competitive price point of $699 USD, the same as the 540Hz WOLED model.

New Phantom Gaming series monitors

A new 34″ Ultrawide Dual-mode LCD Monitor Unveiled

Moving away from the Taichi series now, there was also a new model unveiled in their Phantom Gaming line-up. The PG34QSR is a 34” ultrawide screen, built around a VA LCD technology panel, with a 1500R curvature, 3440 x 1440 resolution and a native 200Hz refresh rate. Quite uncommon in the ultrawide LCD space so far, there is also a dual-mode function on offer here, allowing you to double your refresh rate to 400Hz when dropping to a lower 1720 x 720 resolution (ultrawide 720p).

By adopting a VA panel this display should deliver deeper blacks and a higher contrast ratios than competing IPS LCD panels, and along with a the screen curvature this should offer a good option for multi-tasking and productivity work, while also supporting ultrawide games for increased immersion.

The 200 / 400Hz refresh rates are supported by adaptive-sync for VRR and include AMD ‘FreeSync Premium’ certification. In other specs there is a 1ms MPRT response time spec and an extended colour gamut covering 90% of the DCI-P3 colour space.

The stand offers tilt, height and swivel adjustments (no rotate due to the curve), and for connectivity there are 1x DisplayPort 1.4 and 2x HDMI 2.1 video ports, along with a headphone jack.

Availability and pricing

This model is due to be released in July, although pricing has not been finalised yet.

Affordable QD-OLED Edge monitors in their Phantom Gaming range

There were also a couple of new Phantom Gaming line-up monitors on show at the event. The PGO27QSA and PGO27QSA-W are both 27” sized QD-OLED displays featuring the same panel, just with a different design aesthetic. One model is black in design, while the other (signified by the “W” on the end) is white in design.

These new screens offer a 2560 x 1440 resolution and 240Hz refresh rate and aimed at gamers looking for an affordable OLED monitor. We got to see both of these displays briefly in their early development stage at CES in January but specs were rather limited at that time and it is only now that we have been able to bring you further information.

These two models are built around what Samsung Display refer to as a “QD-OLED Edge” panel, something we will discuss in more detail in the near future. These are a new panel offering with a somewhat trimmed down spec, but designed to offer more affordable OLED panels to the masses. They’re being adopted by many manufacturers for entry-level OLED monitors. They use the earlier-Gen EL 2.0 OLED structure and material, and have a more restricted brightness. They are aimed more at users in dimly lit environments as opposed to brighter rooms.

These two models offer a 0.03ms G2G response time spec, 200 nits SDR brightness and a wide colour gamut covering 99% of the DCI-P3 colour space. They also offer a factory calibrated Delta E <2 colour accuracy too. For HDR they offer a peak brightness of 400 nits (10% APL) and basically offer just the equivalent of the familiar True Black 400 mode you’ll find on other QD-OLED monitors, but without the additional “peak 1000” type mode.

The 240Hz refresh rate is supported by adaptive-sync for VRR from compatible systems and the screens are certified under the AMD ‘FreeSync Premium’ scheme. The stand offers a full range of tilt, height, swivel and rotate adjustments.

Connectivity options include 1x DisplayPort 1.4 and 2x HDMI 2.1 video ports as well as a headphone jack. Note there’s no integrated speakers on these models.

Availability and pricing

Both models are due to be released in July with the black model priced at $399 USD, while the white version is $50 more at $449 USD.
