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."

Availability
The XENEON FLEX 45WQHD240 OLED Gaming Monitor will be demonstrated live at Gamescom 2022 this week, with further details of launch, availability and final specifications coming later in 2022.

The problem with this kind of approach is heat. You cannot sustain high HDR rates as you have no heatsink. It will be more prone to burning out also.

So... pack your things... and quit fooling around...

They keep coming up with all this gimmicky crap when most PC gamer's would just like a decent choice for a 27/ 32in 1440p/4K OLED panel with full local dimming HDR, 144Hz, 2 HDMI 2.1 connectors & full Gsync/FreeSync compat for less than $750.

..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.

Given how aggressively priced QDOLED monitor is its a real shock there are no smaller sized offering for below $750.

Considering the Alienware QD-OLED is, what, $1400, and this is much bigger and bends, I wouldn't be surprised to see this above $2000. It's definitely nowhere near $1000, and certainly not below. It's a 240Hz OLED monitor, what are you expecting?





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.

At that size, why wouldn't they increase the resolution to 5160*2160 ?

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.

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.

Sony had been selling PC monitors for ages. The GDM-FW900, what several people consider as the best CRT ever, came out around 22 or so years ago for $2300, and can be found nowadays for close to $1000 (in some cases way more than that).

It's still wrgb oled so it probably can only achieve 1000 nitt at 3% window or so. Full screen sustained will be around 140 or 150 so yeah you don't really need heatsink for that.

This is complete nonsense. The overall low brightness of OLED - even the newest panels - is an indisputable fact. Small window brightness can be great, and these days the deltas between flashes and sustained highlights aren't huge, but they are there. But the low large window brightness of even the best OLED TVs clearly demonstrates how heat is a significant issue still. Nearly 1/5th the brightness for a 100% window vs. a 2% window? Yeah, that's pretty low. Less than 200 nits full screen brightness, even for flashes, in HDR? That's very low. Why is it so low? Because they could push it much higher, but the panel would guzzle down so much power it would overheat and deteriorate rapidly. Thus, they have to keep brightness tightly controlled in order to avoid heat-related issues. The very reason you don't see this as a problem is precisely because it is well controlled.
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.
Mostly because notebooks outsell monitors by ... oh, I don't know, 1000:1? 10000:1? Probably something around that range. Economics of scale aren't even remotely comparable. It's also possible that the production tech used for those small, pixel dense panels doesn't scale to larger panels particularly well due to brightness/power needs, subpixel sizes, or other technical limitations. AFAIK most laptop OLEDs are AMOLED; most monitor and TV OLED panels are not. Different panels are made on different production lines with different equipment that scales differently to various sizes.

Whatever that means, cough.

Less than 200 nits full screen brightnes
I don't know why you guys stare at white screens, clearly I might be missing something.

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.

Mostly because notebooks outsell monitors by ... oh, I don't know, 1000:1? 10000:1? Probably something around that range. Economics of scale aren't even remotely comparable.
143 million monitors were 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?

Yeah it's easy money for the first company to get something like that out at a decent price.

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.

Hi,
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:

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.
Exactly my thoughts, worse are those LCDs with price tags higher than superior 55" OLED TV.
As for this monitor I think it's a better solution than the waste made by Samsung.

Whatever that means, cough.


I don't know why you guys stare at white screens, clearly I might be missing something.

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.
... none of that changes the fact that the brightness of OLED is low. That's just facts. Its massive contrast makes its perceived brightness higher, which is a huge benefit. And, to be clear, OLEDs being generally dim doesn't make them look bad. It just means that they're poorly suited for some use cases and implementations.

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 keep
143 million monitors were sold in 2021.
That'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.

Oh so many so called specialists here.

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.
