CORSAIR’S NEW XENEON OLED MONITOR FLEXES ON OTHER GAMING MONITORS

You’re either on team flat or team curved when it comes to how you prefer your gaming monitors to look. Corsair’s new $1,999 Xeneon Flex, a new 45-inch OLED option that’s shipping early next year, doesn’t make you pick sides. It can morph between the two modes by primitively squeezing the screen together with its two handles. It requires a surprising amount of force to pull it into a curve and to push it back into a flat panel. Using HDR with its 240Hz refresh rate and 21:9 aspect ratio looks great when connected to the M1 MacBook Pro. Its ability to morph between flexed and flat is what drives that two-thousand-dollar price tag. In the small but growing world of OLED gaming monitors, that’s expensive. It costs $700 more than Alienware’s impressive, curved 34-inch QD-OLED display. LG’s flat 27-inch and curved 45-inch UltraGear OLED gaming monitors that ship in early January 2023 will cost $999 and $1,699, respectively. The Xeneon Flex’s bending mechanism is on its rear, hidden from view when you’re looking at it straight on.
