About this deal

It also has a bendable screen, which means you can make it flat when watching with someone next to you, as it also has wide viewing angles, or bend it to bring the edges more within your field of vision when you're sitting directly in front of it. Being tucked back on the bottom of the stand it was sometimes a little tricky to find and use, but worked pretty well. The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED’s main appeal is that you’re getting both a curved monitor and a flat one, as well as an ultrawide display, making it incredibly versatile for a wide range of uses and one of the best monitors I’ve ever tested. Tom's Hardware is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher.

It locks colors well to the sRGB color space, and even the white balance and color temperature don't have noticeable issues. The XENEON FLEX seamlessly bends from a flat ultrawide to a hyper-immersive 800R curve, so it's always the monitor you need it to be. It has the same panel as the LG 45GR95QE-B, but the main difference is that it has a bendable screen, similar to the LG 42 OLED Flex. And there also is the issue that when someone has a multiple display wall-setup, a curved display may not be that great to have as a side display - and having a display with some flexibility about where it can be used in such a setup, that may be appealing. Treated with an anti-reflective coating that cuts glare and reflections so nothing gets in the way of your immersion, while you play for hours thanks to a protective Low Blue Light technology with EyeSafe® certification that greatly reduces eye strain.x % of PC monitors have that crap AG-coating or an inferior AR-coating (not nearly as good as those found on modern TVs), so no luck here. Even though it doesn't get bright enough to fight a ton of glare, it's still fine if you want to use it in a room with a few lights around. The Corsair XENEON FLEX 45WQHD240 and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9/G95SC S49CG95 are different types of ultrawide monitors. It's also fantastic for media consumption as it displays deep and inky blacks, and its 45-inch screen offers an immersive viewing experience.

Featuring a 45-inch bendable OLED display with a WQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440, this monitor delivers stunning visuals and vibrant colors. There’s no height or swivel adjustments available here due to the screen size and bendable format, but we miss those a bit. You can use the 3,440 x 1,440 OLED panel flat for work or curved to 800R (most easily visualised as a 1m segment of a circle with a circumference of 5m) for highly immersive gaming. The Xeneon Flex lacks any HDR certificate beyond the basic HDR10, but thanks to 10-bit colour and an effectively infinite contrast ratio, content looks very impressive in either mode though the Windows desktop looked rather washed out, suggesting that the HDR colour balance could use some fine-tuning though it’s nothing I couldn’t live with. There’s also the fact that we’ve just come out of the pandemic and are now in the middle of inflation, which mean two things: we’re no longer spending as much quality time in front of our gaming PCs as most of us are back on the grind, and many just cannot afford such luxuries right now.

A matte screen coating can have an impact when it comes to black depth, contrast ratio and HDR experience but this depends on your lighting and room conditions. But larger objects or full-screen brightness is a real challenge in terms of power consumption, heat, and the risk of burn in. The bending mechanism still feels clunky, and for an expensive piece of kit, there are things you can’t do here – limitations largely caused by its bendable nature.

This means there aren't any distracting changes in brightness, but the screen doesn't get very bright either. You can see a black metal handle on the bottom edge of the screen here too which is used to help change the tilt adjustment. However, if a truly versatile and immersive gaming monitor with gorgeous picture quality and rich colors is what you’re seeking, this is worth it.Bending the screen at first feels very counter-intuitive and you worry whether you’ve done everything right, or whether you might snap something! The monitor is NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium certified, providing tear-free and stutter-free gaming experiences. A lot has already been made about these new OLED screens in pre-release discussion and early adopter feedback, so we plan to tackle all the key questions throughout this review – is the resolution high enough for the screen size?
