Design and Ergonomics
The Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 OLED has a refreshing, modern look. Since OLED panels consist of self-emitting diodes, meaning there's no need for a separate backlight system, the panel is exceptionally thin. The bezels are extremely thin as well, measuring less than 7 millimeters on the sides and top, and around 11 millimeters on the bottom. The stand is decorated with the Corsair logo and some recognizable design elements. The company thankfully resisted the urge to implement a pointless RGB lighting system. It's also worth noting that all ports, which we'll get to a bit later in the review, are rear-facing. That makes them infinitely more intuitive to use compared to traditional downward-facing ports.
The metal V-shaped base is very stable. It takes up a reasonable amount of space on the table surface: 45.5 centimeters from left to right, and some 20 centimeters from front to back. It attaches to the supplied stand with a single screw, which can be tightened with no tools necessary.
The plastic stand has a rather large hole for cable management. The frontal visibility of the hole primarily depends on the adjusted height of the panel, as well as your preferred sitting position. If you tend to lean back into your chair, the hole will become visible once the bottom edge of the monitor goes past the 10-centimeter mark, when looking at its distance from the table surface. If you need to set the monitor high and are bothered at the sight of cables, you can buy a cable sleeve – the hole on the stand is certainly large enough to enable it to pass through.
You can easily detach the base and the stand from the panel and place the panel on any regular VESA 100x100 table or wall mount.
The panel can be tilted from -5 to +22°.
Swiveling the panel by ±30° is also supported.
The total height adjustment range of the panel is 10 centimeters (3.94 in). When pushed down, the distance from the table surface to the edge of the bottom bezel is 8.5 centimeters (3.35 in).
The panel can be pivoted by 90° in either direction.
