CORSAIR Launches UHD 4K and QHD 240Hz XENEON Monitors

[btarunr]

CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today expanded its CORSAIR XENEON family of gaming monitors with two new additions: the CORSAIR XENEON 32UHD144 and XENEON 32QHD240. Whether you opt for stunning UHD 4K resolution gaming or QHD at an incredibly smooth 240 Hz refresh rate, both monitors deliver the beautiful design, brilliant display, and innovative technologies synonymous with the XENEON name.

Now gamers and creators alike can experience gorgeous 4K visuals on the XENEON 32UHD144's ultra-slim, 32-inch 3840x2160 IPS LED display, perfectly complementing the monitor's vivid colors and realism made possible by Quantum Dot technology with 100% sRGB and 100% Adobe RGB color space. Now with HDR600, the XENEON 32UHD144 is capable of a wide brightness range and color gamut, for greater detail in the darkest and brightest scenes. Equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, USB Type-C, and an integrated USB 3.1 hub to expand your connectivity, the XENEON 32UHD144 helps keep your connections tidy with RapidRoute cable management built into its stylish die-cast aluminium stand.



If getting the smoothest image with a high refresh rate is your top priority, the XENEON 32QHD240 is just what you're looking for. Its 32-inch 2560x1440 IPS LED panel delivers a terrific image, while its 240 Hz refresh rate with 1 ms response time handily keeps up with the impressively high frame rates that modern graphics cards are capable of outputting. The XENEON 32QHD240 also features Quantum Dot technology and the extensive brightness range of HDR600, and connects using USB Type-C, 2x HDMI 2.0, or DisplayPort 1.4.

Both new XENEON monitors are AMD FreeSync Premium certified and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible, ensuring synchronized visuals with your graphics card for smooth images, less screen tearing, and low input latency. Lastly, enjoy your monitor worry-free thanks to CORSAIR's Zero Dead Pixel guarantee and the XENEON's three-year warranty.

Thanks for the links, so just like NZXT monitors from yesterday stands are extra in this case $100(for 4k) and $50(for 1440p) and unlike NZXT, Corsair is hiding specs with absence of spec sheets as well.

Xeneon sounds like one of those cheap korean ebaymonitor brands

 

[trsttte]

Product page mentions HDMI 2.1 on the QHD as well contrary to the press release.

No mention of any kind of local dimming so another HDRnot and way too expensive monitor.

I'd assume the spec sheet will be available soon^TM since they were just announced. As for the stand, like with NZXT i'm not sure I like this practice, cool to have choice but the prices for the stands are way too high. It would also be great if they let us choose which stand we want, the more expensive stand is ugly as fuck, the cheaper one seems pretty neat other than being too expensive.

Love the 4k monitor. Though, I would have preferred it to have a higher refresh rate maybe around the 165-175hz range instead of 144.

Or maybe someone forgot to spell Xenon at Corsair

[FreedomEclipse]

Judging by where the OSD control is (and how it is with the little joystick) Im going to say that MSI is the OEM

I guess you like running the lowest settings or playing reeeaaally old games then as well

 

[BorisDG]

I won't be surprised if it's using the LG Nano IPS panel from AW2721D.

 

[Dr. Dro]

The original Xeneon monitor was quite poorly received for being utterly mediocre and priced sky high, looks like monitors haven't been something Corsair managed to score at making just yet. Interested in the reviews, but totally not up my alley. It's just not a product for me.

 

[Rhein7]

A bit expensive? A 42 inch LG C2 is around $1060 in my country.

 

[R0H1T]

OEM, do they make their own panel?

No. He doesn't know what he is talking about.

 

[wolar]

These are most likely using the new LG panels right?

Seems like review already done by derbauer

 

[BorisDG]

Depends of the full spec (for the IPS), but prob yes. Other option (the worst) is AUO or InnoLux.

Maybe but remember that these are faster, much brighter, and much better text legibility.

In an office or productivity environment the oled is useless vs these.

Plus what if you need 2 or 3 like I do for the extra pixel density / workflow. Again the OLED is useless.

And what if you want one vertical?
The oled is…..

You get the idea.

Refresh rate is not everything, as a matter of fact, if you're talking response times, the LG OLED panel is much faster than this panel or any other panel in any traditional TN, IPS or VA monitor. Here is the review for last year's model by Hardware Unboxed, you will see that in terms of speed, it is on a league of its own:

Not to take away credit from debauer but I'll wait for someone that reviews monitors regularly like Hardware Unboxed for example.

I won't be surprised if it's using the LG Nano IPS panel from AW2721D.

That would be very surprising since these are 32'' and the AW you mention is 27'' ;P

OEM, do they make their own panel?

No but doesn't really matter, they can source the monitor from MSI (or whoever, I don't know) which in turn sources the panel from LG/AUO/whoever

 

[Garrus]

LG just launched two new monitors identical to these pretty much. I expect these are LG.

In Canada the new Corsair 240hz model is the cheapest IPS like it, you can buy it for $899. It is the same price as the Samsung curved (yuck) VA model. Cheaper than the new LG models for now (they are on pre-order for $1150 and are more expensive at the moment). $400 less than the Acer/Aorus equivalent MSRP for example.

The cheapest price you can get a 240hz QHD 32 inch IPS like this, what's not to like.

nice with more 4k screens and new brands. but prices are way to high, 500 dollar 4k ips 144hz is pretty easy to find now, and 32" is way to large, pixels get visible and takes up to much desk space.
and the 240hz 1440p model is really hard to enjoy, so many games dont reach 200hz+ . its easier to get 4k 120fps than 1440p 200fps. on top of that 4k respond well to dlss and fsr so the resolution dont hurt performance that much.

 

[tpu7887]

Can this be run with a single HDMI 2.1 connection? Single DP 1.4?

That's not true. 4k 144hz 27" starts at $700 for the LG. Not $500. And the $700 is a big sale.

You can find the 28" gigabyte/msi/samsung ones starting around $650 unless on a big sale but they aren't at the same level as the LG model.

Also 1440p 200fps is way easier to hit than 4k 120fps. 1440p at 270fps is about equal to 4k 120fps. (multiply by 2.25)
