The Corsair Xeneon Flex takes the curved gaming monitor to the next level by giving you a screen that you can physically bend to your liking. Developed in partnership with LG, this panel uses W-OLED technology to help the flagship claim the title of best gaming monitor.
Flexibility has been all the rage lately, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and Fold4 hitting stores this week. Aside from some early concepts from Samsung itself, the idea of a slim foldable screen that could be rolled up like a tube of wrapping paper, monitors and TVs were pretty slow, and the steep 1000R curve is the technology’s biggest claim to fame. space. . .
That’s going to change with the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED gaming monitor, as you can bend the screen to adjust the curve depending on what you’re doing. Do you play a first person shooter game where awareness is key? Take each side of the screen and set it to 800r. Do you watch a movie with your friends and family? Bring it flat so everyone can see it.
Corsair promises a sleek experience when the monitor goes on sale, but the Xeneon Flex prototype appears to be stiff enough to flex, according to YouTuber Bitwit. They say it’s also worth noting that the screen makes an audible click when you fold it all the way to prevent it from overstretching, so don’t worry, you probably don’t have it broken.
The screen itself is 45-inches in size, has a 3440×1440 resolution, a 21:9 aspect ratio, and a maximum brightness of 1000 nits. It’s pretty fast with a 0.03ms GtG response time, 240Hz refresh rate, and supports Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium to prevent screen tearing. It comes with all the usual suspects, like an anti-glare coating to combat glare and low blue light technology to help reduce eyestrain.
If you’re worried about screen burn-in because it’s OLED after all, don’t worry. Corsair and LG offer “a sophisticated burn-in prevention system that works both on and off,” along with a three-year, no-burn, no-dead-pixel warranty. Our reviewers will be particularly pleased with the latter.
At 45″ wide, I can’t imagine the Xeneon Flex would fit on any gaming table. I’m also the only user at my desk, so it’s hard for me to see the intrinsic need to adjust by constantly changing the curvature of my screen. Depending on what I’m doing, personally, I find the steep curve of the Samsung Odyssey G7 to be a joy to use, whatever the task, but my needs are not your needs.
If you want a level of flexibility that no other monitor on the market has, the Corsair Xeneon Flex seems like the one for you, but you’ll have to wait for our review to see if it holds up. And while I struggle to understand the need for the product, I’m still excited about what this step reveals in future screens.
More details on Corsair Xeneon Flex OLED pricing and availability will be released later this year.
