The best curved monitors like the Alienware QD-OLED 34 can provide a more immersive experience for gaming, but some users may prefer a flat monitor when working or watching YouTube.  Others may wonder: Why not both?  As if in answer, Corsair will soon release the Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED, a bendable gaming monitor.<\/p>\n<p>Announced during Gamescom 2022, the Corsair Xeneon Flex OLED was created in collaboration with LG Display.  It features a 45-inch 21:9 (3,440 x 1440) ultrawide panel with a maximum curvature of 800R.  A 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms GtG (grey to gray) response time and 0.01ms pixel on\/off time should deliver smooth and responsive gaming experiences.  The Xeneon Flex OLED also supports Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, depending on which GPU is in your gaming rig.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>Corsair says the monitor&#8217;s self-lit OLED pixels deliver peak brightness up to 1,000 nits, with a 1,350,000:1 contrast ratio.  In a press release<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span>the company stated the Xeneon Flex OLED has a \u201csophisticated 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Corsair also uploaded a short video for the Xeneon Flex OLED.  Despite being a CGI video, it does a decent job of demonstrating how the monitor functions.  Thankfully, Corsair provided a prototype model to the BitWit YouTube channel, who recently uploaded a video of the Xeneon Flex OLED in action.  The results are rather interesting.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the prototype model has handles on the left and right sides.  You can bend both sides of the monitor simultaneously or bend them independently.  The YouTuber has a hard time figuring out when someone would need to do this, and I&#8217;m inclined to agree.  Regardless, having this range of mobility is appreciated, even if it seems strange.<\/p>\n<p>The Xeneon Flex OLED seems odd at first glance, but it could be useful to folks who want a curved monitor for gaming and a flat panel for everything else.  I could see myself being one of those people.  However, I have questions about the durability and longevity of such a monitor.  I&#8217;m sure Corsair knows this internally, but how many times can one bend this monitor before it potentially breaks?  It&#8217;s questions like these that make me look forward to going hands-on with this monitor in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Corsair says the Xeneon Flex OLED will be available either in late 2022 or early 2023. We don&#8217;t have word on pricing, though I don&#8217;t see this being a budget product.  Stay tuned for more information as it arrives.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-model-name=\"Alienware AW3423DW\" data-widget-type=\"review\" data-render-type=\"editorial\">\n<div class=\"hawk-main-editorialized\">\n<p>Today&#8217;s best Alienware AW3423DW deals<\/p>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-items-review\" data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-container hawk-grid-item-review\" data-expandable=\"0\" data-stacked=\"0\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-grid-item-main-review\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type=\"\" data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-grid-item-block-review\" data-name=\"image\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type=\"\" data-stacked=\"0\"><span class=\"sr-only\">  (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-grid-item-block-review\" data-name=\"merchant\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type=\"\" data-stacked=\"0\"><img aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/search-api.fie.future.net.uk\/img\/misc\/no-image-available.svg\" alt=\"Dell\" title=\"Dell\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-image\" draggable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\"\/><span class=\"sr-only\">  (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-container hawk-grid-item-review\" data-expandable=\"0\" data-stacked=\"0\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-grid-item-main-review\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type=\"\" data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-grid-item-block-review\" data-name=\"image\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type=\"\" data-stacked=\"0\"><img aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/search-api.fie.future.net.uk\/img\/misc\/no-image-available.svg\" alt=\"View Similar to Amazon US\" title=\"View Similar to Amazon US\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-image\" draggable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"78\" height=\"70\"\/><span class=\"sr-only\">  (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-grid-item-block-review\" data-name=\"merchant\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type=\"\" data-stacked=\"0\"><img aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/search-api.fie.future.net.uk\/img\/misc\/no-image-available.svg\" alt=\"Amazon\" title=\"Amazon\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-image\" draggable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\"\/><span class=\"sr-only\">  (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"hawk-tracking-pixel-container\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.ftjcfx.com\/image-6361382-13502820\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.ftjcfx.com\/image-6361382-13502820\" class=\"hawk-tracking-pixel-image\" draggable=\"false\"\/><\/span><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It can be difficult choosing between a flat or curved monitor.
