Corsair Xeneon Flex, a gaming OLED monitor with a flexible screen
Yes, Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 is a monitor not with a curved, but rather with a flexible screen – which can be bent at will. Or even make it flat, if at some point the curvature of the image will interfere with the work.
Corsair developed this monitor together with LG Display. It uses a 45-inch W-OLED panel with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 3,440×1,440 pixels. As the manufacturer claims, this combination of diagonal and proportions gives a 20% larger screen area compared to 49-inch monitors with a 32:9 ratio.
The peak brightness of the Corsair Xeneon Flex reaches 1000 nits, the maximum screen refresh rate is 240 Hz, the response time of the panel is 0.03 ms (GtG), there is support for both NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive frequency technologies.
The screen can bend from a completely flat surface up to an 800R curve (radius 80 cm). This will come in handy when, after a gaming session with a curved screen, you need to switch to working with software, where the “distorted” image will only interfere.
The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 can be seen live at Gamescom, which is taking place these days in Cologne. When to expect the start of sales and at what price is still unknown.
