Even though I’m not the first to take a closer look at this – let’s call it “slightly different” – monitor with today’s article on the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED (that’s a mouthful), it’s going to go into a bit more detail today compared to most other reviews. What can already be deduced from the name: We have a 45-inch monitor, with an ultrawide resolution of 3,440 x 1440p, garnished on an LG OLED display and a 240 Hz refresh rate to boot. That will certainly be interesting. However, you quickly lose your euphoria when you read the RRP of 2,400 Euros. But that was to be expected when you syntactically associate LG-OLED with the name Corsair.
Don’t worry, that’s not how the monitor would arrive at your home. My test sample (final product) was flown in and also moves on after the article, which is probably why they prefer to leave the panel in this flight case. You will probably only receive the cardboard packaging and its contents. The monitor is sufficiently well protected in it. There is not much to say about the structure. The panel comes pre-assembled with “half” stand, you just need to fix the feet at the bottom and that’s it.
What was a little difficult for me at first was getting over bending this panel. In all the years I’ve spent in front of monitors, I’ve never thought about bending the display. My biggest fear: If it breaks, I’ll emigrate – to a country – that doesn’t deliver! But, once you get past the fear, you realize that you can only break it if you really want to. The fear is basically unfounded.

Reviewers Guide Corsair Xeneon Flex v1.2-2
There’s so much in there now, it’s hard to remember. The essentials are: 2x HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbit/s), 1x DP 1.4, USB-C with DP as well as USB-C upstream and 4x USB-A downstream. A flexible (bendable) panel from Flat to 800R Curved. An LG OLED panel with 0.03 ms response time and up to 240 Hz. NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync are also available. DCI-P3, sRGB and especially HDR are on the agenda. No annoying dimming zones that can affect latency and cause halo or blooming effects. Real 4,959,360 pixels that can shine individually and provide the indescribable contrast.
For me, it’s a real gaming monitor on paper and not so much for content creators. Not only due to the fact that the monitor only has 84 ppi. But also because it’s an LG OLED and we’ll be dealing with a pretty aggressive automatic brightness limiter (ABL) on the one hand, and the subpixel layout RWBG affects text clarity on the other. Not quite as bad as with a QD OLED from Samsung, but it can be quite annoying.
So, enough of the prefaces. Next page please.
