A flexible panel monitor for a ” new twist of the video game monitor market: Corsair is humorous.
At the origin of several rumors for a few months already, the Corsair flexible panel monitor became a perfectly tangible reality during Gamescom 2022 in Cologne: the American company then took the famous screen in its boxes.
Flat or curved slab at 800R
In Cologne, we thus learned the name of this very particular monitor for which Corsair announces a “ major technological innovation “. Indeed, the Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED has a panel called ” soft “.
The idea is very simple and should help answer the dilemma of many players. Rather than favoring a curved slab or a flat slab, Corsair proposes to bring together the best of both worlds thanks to a monitor whose slab can be curved according to your desires.
Today, it is no longer a question of presenting this Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED, but rather of announcing its imminent release since it is set for the end of December with the launch of pre-orders.

The 45-inch OLED at nearly 2,400 euros
Through the press release formalizing the thing, Corsair details all the characteristics of its new baby. First, he recalls that the curvature of the slab reaches 800R with very simple handling.

As its name suggests, the Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED is equipped with an OLED panel that should allow nirvana in terms of image: we are promised a ” Sublime image quality with 1,000 nits peak brightness and 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio “.

The definition is limited to WQHD (3,440 x 1,440), but something unfortunate is good, it allows a refresh rate of 240 Hz and Corsair to point out ” a response time of 0.03 ms as well as support for AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC technologies.
Alas, these characteristics make the Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED almost inaccessible, at 2,399.99 euros. For this price, Corsair still associates it with a three-year warranty and “ a zero dead pixel and zero burn-in guarantee “. Not sure that’s enough to make us break the piggy bank.
