Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED 45"

Overview

In many ways the Xeneon Flex remains a first generation product with areas that require polish. The panel used has a very low pixel density and non-standard subpixel layout, which leads to poor text quality and lack of resolution real estate despite being so large. It's not well suited to productivity work in general, due to its low SDR brightness and OLED's risk of permanent burn in when viewing static content.

The Xeneon Flex is an innovative and impressive bit of kit, and the flexible display is much more than a gimmick. In the week I had it on my desk, I regularly adjusted it from flat to curved and then back depending on whether I was working, gaming, or watching a movie.

If you consider OLED gaming monitors to be a cut above, then the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 is a cut above that. With premium gaming performance, a stunning picture and unmatched immersion, it is one of the very best gaming displays you can buy at any price.

It's been a long old wait for OLED tech to make the jump from TVs to PC monitors, but it's finally happening, and the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 is the latest to jump on the OLED train. And it's a 45-inch monster of a gaming monitor. OLED screen tech...

A 45in, 240Hz OLED ultrawide is as good as it sounds. We're not sure how many people would end up using the flex mechanism on a regular basis, but we have to hand it to Corsair – this is brilliantly bonkers!

The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 is a PC gaming monitor from the future. LG’s gorgeous 240Hz OLED packs a killer combination of contrast and motion performance that will be hard to beat through 2023. Cutting-edge tech often comes with a catch, however, and the Xeneon Flex is no exception. The flexible display’s operation could be (much) smoother, and it’s permanently attached to a mediocre monitor stand. It’s pricey, too, at $2,000.

Waiting for the big-screen monitor that really delivers on the promise of OLED tech? This isn't it. The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 suffers from all-too-apparent brightness limitations, while the resolution and pixel density are a very hard sell at this price point. Likewise, the flexible panel tech isn't exactly a game changer. The pixel response is fantastic and with the right HDR content the Xeneon Flex does have obvious advantages over LCD displays. But much more often it lacks anything like the wow factor the premium price and OLED panel tech would have you hoping for.

I'm lucky enough to play with a lot of fun tech stuff, thanks to my work here - I even had to start an irregular column about all the weird things I didn't have space to cover elsewhere - but the Xeneon Flex is the coolest thing I've played with in years, and well worth your time if you're in the tiny Venn diagram of PC gamers with the time, space and £1799/$1599 budget to justify it.

By EuroGamer on May 23, 2023

The Xeneon Flex’s $1,999 price may be out of range for most gamers, but it’s cheaper and bigger than LG’s competing OLED Flex. Sure, you have to flex this one manually, which takes a little getting used to. Some may still find LG’s curved-only 45-inch UltraGear OLED that sells for $300 less to be a more alluring deal, but getting a custom curve with Corsair’s model won’t cost you much more.
