Motors add cost, and yet another thing that can break, to consumer electronics. For the Xeneon Flex, Corsair has replaced them with a pair of pop-out handles on either side of the display. To introduce a gentle curve, you simply grab them and yank, and then do the opposite to flatten the panel back out again. You can even create a different level of curve on each side, which has no real practical benefits, but it’s nice to know it’s an option. Freedom!

The Xeneon Flex’s 45-inch LG W-OLED panel has a generous 21:9 aspect ratio pushing a resolution of 3,440×1440 pixels at a refresh rate of up to 240Hz, and is fully compatible with Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync standards. Peak brightness is listed at 1,000 nits, with a 1,350,000:1 contrast ratio, and a well-featured assortment of connectivity ports both on the back of the display and accessible up front. The only thing we don’t know is pricing and availability, which Corsair promises will be shared before the year is out.
