TCL's New Display Glasses Are the First I've Seen With HDR, and the View Is Vivid
CNET••technology
Key Points:
- TCL's new RayNeo Air Pro 4 smart glasses, launching January 25, 2026 at $299, feature HDR10 micro-OLED panels, marking a first in wearable display glasses with vivid 1,200-nit HDR effects despite maintaining a 1080p resolution.
- The Air Pro 4 glasses include upgraded Bang & Olufsen-powered speakers, though audio quality was not tested at CES 2026, and they require tethering to a phone or laptop to function.
- TCL is also developing standalone AR glasses, the RayNeo X3 Pro prototype, which includes an onboard eSIM for 4G connectivity without needing a tethered device, signaling a potential shift toward cellular-enabled smart glasses.
