Set The Curve & Change the Game CORSAIR Reveals Revolutionary 45in Bendable OLED Gaming Monitor
CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today revealed the new XENEON FLEX 45WQHD240 OLED Gaming Monitor, a flagship bendable gaming monitor created in close partnership with LG Display. Boasting the latest in W-OLED technology, the XENEON FLEX OLED offers phenomenal image quality, excellent black levels and response times, with the ability for enthusiasts to manually adjust the curvature of its 45in 21:9 aspect ratio panel. From fully flat for strategy or productivity applications, to an immersive 800R curve for simulations and shooter games, and anywhere in between, users can adjust the display to match their content in seconds.
Combined with cutting edge gaming panel performance, the XENEON FLEX OLED is a true game changer for performance gaming monitors. XENEON FLEX OLED's 45in screen and 3,440x1440 resolution (21:9 aspect ratio), offers a stunning cinematic display experience that's ideally suited whether you're gaming, working or enjoying a movie. This combination of screen size and aspect ratio results in 20% more screen area than a 49in 32:9 ultrawide and 81% more screen area than a 34in 21:9 ultrawide. Finished with a specially formulated anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and reflections, XENEON FLEX OLED is built from the ground up to be an immersive gaming monitor, equipped with LG Display's protective Low Blue Light technology to help reduce eye strain even when viewed all day.
With LG W-OLED latest display technology, XENEON FLEX 's self-lit OLED pixels deliver peak brightness up to 1000nit, with a 1,350,000:1 contrast ratio ensuring that images are as true to life and accurate as possible. A rapid 0.03 ms GtG response time, 0.01 ms Pixel on/off time and up to 240 Hz refresh rate all-but eliminate motion blur, creating a no-compromise gaming experience that's fully compatible with both NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync standards.
To help protect the display, XENEON FLEX OLED boasts a sophisticated burn-in prevention system which operates when both powered on, and when switched off, to ensure a flawless image even after extended UI or OS use, all backed by a three-year Zero Burn in and Zero Dead Pixel Warranty.
"We challenged ourselves to create a game-changing display that delivers an incredible and customizable experience, and I think we've achieved that goal and more," Said Dennis Jackson, Senior Director of Systems Product Management & Marketing and CORSAIR. "With the help of LG Display, XENEON OLED FLEX is the beginning of a whole new class of gaming monitor, with the performance and literal flexibility to exceed the needs of even the most discerning gamers."
"CORSAIR is a fantastic partner with which to bring flexible W-OLED displays to gamers," Said Mina Lee, Gaming Strategy & Marketing Team Leader at LG Display. "We can't wait to put this new class of gaming display in the hands of PC enthusiasts."

32 Comments on Set The Curve & Change the Game CORSAIR Reveals Revolutionary 45in Bendable OLED Gaming Monitor
So... pack your things... and quit fooling around...
Would that help?
..Right now we have to choose panels that are severely compromised in at least one of those areas and pay 2-3 times more for the same features that have been on TV's, with screens twice the size for at least the last couple of years.
PC monitors are a complete & total rip off for what you get.
No wonder Sony have smelled the money and recently moved into selling them.
Oh, and just in case anyone was wondering: this display is slightly less wide than a 50" TV, and has a measly DPI of 83. That is ... pretty crap? Unless you're using this at TV viewing distances, things are going to look p i x e l a t e d . Outside of the curve - which is definitely a necessity if this is used on a desk - I don't see why you wouldn't just buy a TV, or LG's UltraGear OLED or that recently announced Asus (reportedly $1400?) if the TV-ness (no monitor sleep etc.) annoys you.
I wish there's a decent monitor, Ultrawide 2160p, IPS/OLED, 144Hz+, HDR600 minimum, not gaming-centric but might have some KVM, PiP/PbP functionalities as well. And well priced.
The issue is made up.
An owner of 2 OLED TVs and OLED notebook speaking.
It is curious that we have reasonably priced OLED notebooks (got mine for 1k Euro and it has a discrete 3050 mind you, 2880k 14" 16:10), but still no reasonably priced monitors.

There is absolutely NO "screen is dim" feeling, WTH...
It looks stunning on it's own, jaw dropping when you have classic IPS crap next to it, let alone TN or when real HDR content is run.143 million monitorswere sold in 2021.
I'm too scared to search for number of laptops sold in 2021, as even thinking about 145 billion figure scares me a lot, but what, if it is actually 10000:1 so, 1.45 trillion? :D
Could you be so kind to help please?
I'm using mine for editing more than gaming, so I went with colour accuracy and mini-led with HDR1000. Meant dropping down to 4K 60Hz and losing VRR though.
I couldn't think of one reason I'd want a curved screen
Now I can't think of one reason I'd want a screen I can bend like a stretch Armstrong doll :laugh:
As for this monitor I think it's a better solution than the waste made by Samsung.
And please don't lower yourself to as dumb a level as that "staring at white screens" BS. Outdoor imagery in daylight? Any brightly lit room? Any image with a large light source, like a fire, explosion, large screen or other fancy sci-fi doohickey? There really isn't a lack of brightly lit imagery across movies and TV.
You're mistaking someone discussing factual weaknesses of a technology with someone shitting on your purchase decisions. Please don't do that - it only makes you look bad. OLEDs look great, except in brightly lit rooms or in bright scenes, as well as in any moving image where a bright spot takes up a gradually increasing part of the screen (as the drop-off in brightness is clearly visible in those cases). Does that make OLEDs bad? Of course not. But it's not a flawless technology, and making it out as if it is just makes you look like you lack some basic critical distance to your experiences. In any bright scene, no matter the brightness of the room, any good FALD LCD will be notably brighter than any OLED, and there will be less noticeable dimming when transitioning from a low to high APL. On the other hand, any OLED will have superior contrast and no blooming, which renders it (much) stronger in other scenarios. See? It's really not hard to keepThat's higher than I would have expected - but the fraction of those monitors going into homes, and being anything even remotely premium in any way, still falls far behind any comparable laptop. The vast majority of those are low-end office monitors, in addition to 2021 being a boom year for monitors due to WFH during the pandemic (it also was for laptops, but to a much smaller degree). Average sales prices are also vastly, vastly different, which incentivizes the monitor market towards cheap, shitty products while laptops are increasingly "premium" even in their cheaper variants - like the OLED HP Pavillion Plus 14. This is where the economics of scale come into play. Still, my guesstimate there was way off, but this still doesn't change how economics of scale and sales volumes play into this. Monitors are, and continue to be a niche product outside of office settings and gaming.
Without heatsink this thing will have aggressive ABL, image retention issues and burn in. The entry level OLED screens differ actually with this one simple thing, the flagship top models have a heatsink, it is simple as that, and OLED technology needs it.
The upcoming ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ, that has the same panel as LG evo C2 TV, and guess what what is the distinctive difference? Asus has a heatsink. The only other being omission of TV features and a having a DP port.
What you are re-hashing is OLED TVs losing at MAX BRIGHTNESS vs traditional TFT with quirks, e.g. Samsung's Bazinga QLED.
None of that is relevant to a notebook screen (and, frankly, nor to the TVs). Heck, LG just released 250/300 nit laptop.Yeah, what about it? Someone who stopped even considering non OLED screens since Samsung Galaxy S2 phone asking. Oh, forgot to mention, my 2 tablets are also OLED. (OK there is also that heavy garbage by Apple, from school)Surprising is it not.
