Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and we love that except when making a purchase. The more options the market offers us, the crazier we become comparing features, watching videos with tests and analyzing whether or not that peripheral that makes us so excited is for us or not. A product that generates a lot of debate are the curved monitors. They are for me? Will I end up regretting the purchase? Well Corsair has the perfect solution. The midpoint, as Aristotle would say.
Corsair creates the screen for the undecided
Choosing a new monitor for your computer is not easy. Farewell between a classic flat screen or a curved display further complicates the situation. Curved screens continue to be a niche product within the gaming. Most of the players continue betting on lifelong designs.
Corsair thinks it can change this. The solution to all these problems is your new Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240. It is a monitor with technology OLED which can curve according to our preferences. The user can put the fully curved monitor to play a video game that requires some immersion and then put the panel straight in case it is needed for a more serious task such as working on documents or editing some type of photo or video.
To switch from one mode to another, the Corsair Xeneon Flex has two handles at its ends. The only thing you have to do to accommodate the screen is to pull both sides at the same time. Some of the first analysts who have tested the screen say that it feels really strange to adjust the curvature yourself, because when you pull, it seems that you are going to break it unintentionally. However, they have carried out the tests with success.
How was Corsair able to create the Xeneon Flex?
The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 monitor uses a LG W-OLED panel. This technology was presented by the Korean brand in a prototype at CES last year. Corsair has only curled the curl looking for a actual utility to a technology as interesting as this LG panel.
Being the totally flexible surface, the Xeneon Flex not only allows you to make a symmetrical design of the screen. You can pull more or less on one handle and make an irregular bend if you wish. It would not be a logical move, but it is possible.
Other monitor specifications
This new Corsair monitor has a ultra wide panel 1440p with aspect ratio 21:9. Its surface has a total of 45 inches. The curvature of the monitor can be adjusted up to 800Rand the maximum screen brightness is 1000 nits. Regarding the refresh rate, the panel is going to some impressive 240Hz.
Refering to connectivity, the monitor has HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, USB-A and headphone jack. It is also compatible with Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.
Price and availability
We know that this monitor is going to mark a before and after. Many users are finally going to be able to get the perfect screen, the one that adapts to the maximum when playing, but that does not lose points compared to the productivity.
At the moment, both the price and the release date of this monitor remain unknown, although Corsair say what will give more information later this year.
