The Corsair Xeneon Flex was designed in partnership with LG.

Gamescom 2022 is in full swing and was able to come up with a first hardware highlight in the form of the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240: Visually, the 45-incher looks like a conventional gaming monitor with an OLED display from LG, a resolution of 3,440 x 1,440 pixels and a refresh rate of 240 Hertz. The monitor is also compatible with Nvidia G-Sync and AMD Freesync.

The special feature of the Corsair screen, however, is found on the sides of the display frame, each of which has a handle attached. With the help of these, it is possible to transform the panel from a regular screen into a curved display with a curvature of 800R.

The Corsair Xeneon Flex is intended to act as a hybrid for gamers and creative people. For the latter, a classic, flat display is generally recommended in order to retain a full overview and, above all, a geometrically correct display of demanding applications. PC gamers, on the other hand, can prefer a curved screen for racing simulations, for example, and get this via the handle.

In recent years, LG has shown various technologies for such bendable displays at trade fairs – the Corsair Xeneon Flex is now the first mass-market version of the technology. Other manufacturers such as Samsung have already brought suitable models with foldable displays onto the market: This is how the current one uses it Galaxy Z Fold 4 a similar technique. Further Prototypes for foldable displays were already presented at the past CES 2022. More information about Corsair Xeneon Flex is available from the manufacturer.
