TCL WQ Is A 240Hz Gaming Tablet Screen With A Punch-Hole Cutout

TCL may be trying to revive its name in the smartphone market but its brand is perhaps better known for display panels, especially those used on its own TVs. The company might be trying to raise its profile and merge those two worlds together with a new display that's clearly aimed at a mobile gaming market.

That said, it's possible for the display to also be used for other purposes or platforms, especially Windows where the tablet would act more like a monitor rather than a hands-on touch screen. Still, the hole in the corner will probably bite and could be a deal breaker for more serious gamers.
