Corsair's new monitor can bend on demand
Corsair's new monitor can bend on demand

We've all been there: You need a new monitor, and the curved ones look really cool, but do you really need that curve? Isn't it better to just get a flat one? You sit there in front of your (old) monitor, with 20 browser tabs open, unable to make the decision between flat or curved display.

Corsair's got a solution for such (admittedly completely fabricated) troubles. The company's new monitor has a name that's hard to remember — Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 — so we'll just call it "the monitor that bends" (via The Verge).

The 45-inch monitor uses an LG Display-manufactured, W-OLED display that doesn't mind bending. The fun (or possibly annoying) part is that you do the bending manually, with your hands. It could be a cool party trick, and it probably reduces costs (as there's no need for a motor and a bending mechanism), so we'll take it.

In terms of specs, the Xeneon Flex has a 3,440 x 1,440 pixel resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, 1,000 nit peak brightness, 1,350,000:1 contrast ratio, and a super quick 0.01ms pixel on/off time. As any gaming-oriented monitor should be, it's compatible with both the NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium standards.

The only problem with the Xeneon Flex is that it's not yet quite something you can buy. It will be demonstrated at Gamescom 2022, which kicked off yesterday and ends on Aug. 28. Then, Corsair will share final specifications and details on availability "later in 2022."
