Following a reveal at CES earlier this year, ASRock is now launching two new flagship AIO liquid coolers – the Taichi Aqua 360 LCD and the Taichi 360 Holo. Designed with enthusiasts in mind, the Taichi Aqua model has a transparent water channel, giving you a little bit of that custom-loop aesthetic with the simplicity of an AIO design. On the other side, the Taichi Holo uses a floating 3D visual effect, created using Persistence of Vision technology.

On the monitor front, ASRock continues to expand with a new line-up of Taichi OLED gaming monitors, offering resolutions up to 4K, and refresh rates as high as 540Hz depending on the model.

The lineup includes the 4K 240Hz TCO27USA and the 2K 500Hz TCO27QXA, both equipped with QD-OLED panels. In addition, the new Taichi TCO27QXB sports a Tandem OLED panel, along with Dual Mode functionality, so you can switch between a higher-resolution mode with a lower refresh rate, or a lower-resolution mode with a maximum 540Hz refresh rate.

The Phantom Gaming line is also getting a new OLED display – the 34″ Ultrawide PG34QSR.

ASRock is also expanding further into the power supply market this year. The flagship Taichi TC-3000P is designed for multi-GPU workstations, you know, the kind that might be running local LLMs and various AI tools.

There is something here for gamers as well though. If you are a fan of Small Form Factor PCs, then the new Phantom Gaming SFX 1000W is probably worth checking out. It has enough power for today's high-end gaming rigs, as well as excellent efficiency and noise ratings. If you don't need a full 1000W, there is also an 850W version, which has a Cybenetics Lambda A++ rating, ranking it as one of the best for quiet operation. As you would expect, both models are fully modular, so you won't have to deal with too much cable clutter.

ASRock also has a new Steel Legend RX 9070 GRE hitting the market. AMD just announced the global launch of this graphics card at Computex, opening the door for board partners like ASRock to finally sell their own custom-cooled solutions. Previously, the RX 9070 GRE had only been made available in China.

Philips has introduced something quite unique to the market this week. The new 24B2D5300 is a 120Hz IPS monitor, but it actually houses two screens, one on the front and one on the back, designed for customer-facing environments and collaborative workspaces.

The monitor uses two identical 23.8‑inch IPS panels, each offering 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and wide 178° viewing angles. Both sides include their own USB‑C port with 65W power delivery, plus HDMI support, allowing each screen to operate independently or connect to separate devices. Philips’ SmartView and DualView modes enable content to be split, mirrored or extended across the two panels, while OSD Sync allows brightness and image settings to be adjusted on both screens simultaneously.

One example of this monitor being put to use would be on a reception desk or service counter, where check-in details or forms can be displayed on the rear side, while internal applications remain visible on the employee's side of the monitor. A 180‑degree swivel base allows either screen to be rotated and shared easily during collaboration or training.

Each panel supports Philips’ MultiView picture‑in‑picture and picture‑by‑picture modes, enabling two users to work from separate sources on the same device. Eye‑comfort features include Flicker‑free, Low Blue Light, SoftBlue Technology and Eyesafe 2.0 certification.

The Philips 24B2D5300 will be available starting in June, priced at £359.99, backed by a 5-year warranty.

MSI has announced the upcoming debut of the MAG OLED 271QPX32 gaming monitor, scheduled to be officially unveiled at Computex 2026. The 26.5-inch display is the first in its size class to incorporate Samsung Display's 4th-generation QD-OLED panel featuring Penta Tandem technology, which uses a specialised 5-layer organic light-emitting diode (OLED) structure.

The monitor delivers a WQHD resolution of 2560×1440, a 320Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03ms grey-to-grey response time. By moving from previous 4-layer designs to the 5-layer Penta Tandem stack, the panel disperses energy more effectively, resulting in improved luminous efficiency and a longer overall lifespan compared to conventional OLED alternatives. The screen is also coated with DarkArmor Film technology, which increases surface hardness from 2H to 3H for 2.5 times better scratch resistance while simultaneously enhancing pure black levels by 40%.

Architectural improvements within the panel aim to address common OLED limitations such as grey banding, screen non-uniformity, and “black crush”. The MAG OLED 271QPX32 features specialised low-grey processing designed to maintain a consistent gamma curve when switching refresh rates or using variable refresh rate. Furthermore, the monitor has received QuantumView verification from UL Solutions, confirming an 83% luminance retention at a 60-degree viewing angle with minimal colour shift.

The display carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 and VESA ClearMR 15000 certifications and supports MSI's custom Uniform Luminance feature. For hardware longevity, it includes the MSI OLED Care 2.0 suite of burn-in prevention mechanisms. Connectivity on the rear IO includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4a port, and one USB Type-C port supporting DisplayPort alternate mode and 15W power delivery. MSI has not yet disclosed finalised pricing or availability details.
