Corsair's 45-Inch OLED Gaming Monitor Includes Handles So You Can Bend It

From PC Mag: Corsair's new 45-inch 21:9 ultrawide gaming monitor has a unique new feature: the ability to bend into a curved monitor with a little help from its owner.

It's called the Corsair Xenon Flex 45WQHD240, and on either side of the monitor is a handle you can pop out, grab, and pull to convert the flat screen into a curved one. Push back on the handles and it returns to being a flat display. The extent of the curvature is 800R (a radius of 800mm), but it's up to the user to decide how much (or how little) curve they want when they pull.

It doesn't look as though Corsair needed to forego any of the core features of a gaming monitor in order to make it bendable. The Xenon Flex uses an LG OLED panel with a 3,440-by-1,440 resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. The gray-to-gray response time is rated at 0.03ms, and it's fully-compatible with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.

"We challenged ourselves to create a game-changing display that delivers an incredible and customizable experience, and I think we’ve achieved that goal and more," said Dennis Jackson, Senior Director of Systems Product Management & Marketing and Corsair.
