Ive been waiting so long for your review on this one. Thank you for your great content!!

This is a great revision 1 of a product. I can't wait to see what an update to it looks like.

I don't think the adjustable is completely pointless, even if you can't use it for productivity. You might want a flat display for movies for example, or for some games, the flat might just makes more sense like a turn-based strategy while you might have preferred curved in an action type of games. If nothing else, then you can adjust the display to be less or more curve to your liking which is still a selling point. But well, the cost alone made it an unreasonable option for anyone to pick anyway honestly.

It would actually be a pretty good display for movies since most movies these days are 21:9 ratio and would look pretty nice on that larger screen size.

​@@MistyKathrine your not wrong but I think it movies are your primary concern you would be better severed by a TV especially for the price. I have an ultrawide and find that sometimes content is optimized for 16:9 and it's just more of a pain to make it fill 21:9 and IMO OLED makes black bars on top and bottom of content a lot less of a problem.

I could definitely see wanting a curved display for racing games, flight/space sims, and anything you want more immersive. And it's nice you can flatten it out if you're taking a break from those types of experiences.

After using the flex for about 2 months as a productivity monitor / gaming setup it's pretty much the best of both worlds imo. The whole text clarity thing is noticeable(?) but hardly a deal breaker - it gives me the space I need as a second GIANT monitor for my work laptop during the day (basically just leave slack and email on the work side) and a monster gaming display at night. (I'm a consultant so I dont spend a ton of time just staring at spreadsheets - usually I'm just in one app or another on Chrome - so if you're codebreaking for the CIA in excel then ya, probably not for you.) One thing that wasn't mentioned was the benefit of a curved vs. flat monitor for different GAMES. I love RTS titles like TW:WH3, SC2, and XCOM2 and I dont really like a curve for those kind of titles. For FPS or more action oriented titles the curve is incredible. The other issue I kept hearing about in the video was the brightness - but I sit by a giant window in the day with the shade up and I never struggle to see anything on the monitor. At all. So I often wonder if all the talk about NITS is more theory than practice - because in practice the Flex is plenty bright in any scenario I can imagine short of sitting directly in front of a police spotlight. If you have the chance go see one in person - its first and foremost a gaming monitor no doubt. But fairly average productivity work its absolutely doable (and having the ability to curve one side independently is really nice in this case) and not at all difficult to achieve in any room that isn't directly on top of the sun.

I've had mine for 1-2 months now and I absolutely love it. I got used to the low PPI for text and that was that, I love the 240hz, the bendable feature, the fact that its WOLED, gsync compatible, 800r curvature, and the anti burn in features are absolutely amazing and helpful. The image retention refresh makes it more comfortable to daily use it, same with the 3 year no dead pixel / no burn in warranty. Also most people want more than just tilt adjustment but with my OCD I am so glad you can only adjust the monitor facing up or down. When I had my LG 34" IPS I could never get it fully in the middle but with out all directions of adjustment I don't have to worry about it! And I never turn my PC off, I'm chronically on it (I have lung disease and can't do much so my PC is my life) and have had 0 issues with anything. Freaking love this monitor to the moon and back!

I honestly think the text on my 48inch lg c1 looks sharp and crispy but even more so since when you're using dark mode its just white text on a dark background and it looks even better! All other advantages are so ridiculously big to even consider using anything else but a OLED screen imo. I have other screens but they just die in comparison to the oled screen! I just f***in LOVE it!!!

I have an electrically adjustable desk. I "adjusted" it precisely.....once.....and never touched it again. The worst money i've even spent. If you're going to use it often for the purpose it was built, fine, go for it, otherwise i personally advise against buying one. So why did i buy one? For a silly reason and a great deal of laziness, to be perfectly honest. I wanted a desk with 140x80cm (55x31in aprox.) (a fairly standard size for a medium/large desk in Europe), as that was the best measure and fit for the location i had reserved for it. I was too lazy to go to the trouble of building one, so i went to IKEA and the only desk they had with this size was this one. The price wasn't too bad so i went with it. It turns out that the height i prefer it at, is all the way down, so that's where i've set it, and never touched it again...

Great review as always!

As always u deliver the best monitor reviews!

IT was the marketing for that monitor who made buy the LG OLED FLEX wich is by far the best screen i've ever had in my life knowing i'm an early adopter of new tech and i've seen a lot. I come from the first 4k 27" 120 hz that was released a while ago and i couldn't see my self go to to lower res especially on bigger screens. Going from 27" to 42" was already a huge change in my user habits and i couldn't see going to 1440P on a 48". Still those 240 hz might be useful for ultra competitive gamers. Anyway, hope you get to test the LG OLED FLEX since your rewiew are really good.

As soon as I saw this at announcement, I was pretty hyped. What killed it was the panel itself, the lack of VESA support, and the lower resolution causing low DPI. Should be much better for the asking price.

this is really cool, id love this combined with a higher resolution

Very good feature. Only downside I would not buy this due to monitor being super wide and big and PPI is not much. Yes, I agree Tim a smaller version of this would be nice. Great review as always :)

Have you done the LG 45 OLED review or plan to? Love your content!

Completely agreed, lockable positions would be ideal. I just know that I would end up being annoyed that I could never get the screen back to the exact curvature I was used to if I were to ever adjust it. Perhaps that a mild OCD thing, but it would drive me nuts.

It better come with everything.

My AW3423DW is used purely for gaming in games that support 21:9. If I am browsing the web, watching KZread, films ( that don't have UW support ), I will just turn off the AW3423DW and go grab food, check phone, etc. The monitor will then fully turn off and make the second monitor the primary monitor. Every time I boot a game up or film on the OLED it blows me aways and makes games like cyberpunk look even more unreal.

Heey Tim I was wondering if it would be possible to also review the new INNOCN 27M2V and the 32M2V? Those monitor specs are looking very interesting

I've had this monitor for about 8 months or so and I've got to say for gaming It's the best monitor I've ever owned by a long shot. Now I don't use it for productivity much and when have on occasion I have to agree, the text clarity is kinda bad. I mainly use it for gaming or KZread videos for the most part. I have a secondary 27" for web browsing and discord. Also he was correct in that I've picked a curvature and just kept it there for the most part. TBH I probably should have bought the LG version of this monitor but I liked the built in USB connectivity so I bit the bullet and bought this one instead.

for person who like atmosphere while gaming and play only in dark, this is dream monitor, ive got it and i love it, bought DP 2.0 cable, and throught CRU set up higher pixel clock at 1408 Mhz at stable refresh rate of 244hz and its great in terms of response time- there is still motion blur but its due to refresh rate-but not like ghosting. And when playing in dark its useless to have brightness, cause its too hard for eyes then

I love this!

Looks great the Lg45" is the same monitor but at a fixed 800R curve . also has an adjustable base and a versa mount and cheaper but that 800R may be too much ? the pixel density is my problem I dont do that much text but photo editing shame there isnt a 38"-40 " 1000R curved 4K at 166hz that great for gaming and HDR lol

What a bummer. Well, let's wait for the next OLED monitor. Keep em coming!

OLED lover :) No Mini LED recommendation (again) despite the RGB LCD layout for productivity and higher brightness for HDR bright scenes.

Tim, Shouldn't it theoretically be possible to install a coding for the subpixel layout in the OS, just as you can install a color profile for your monitor ? OLED's have been around for quite a while now. Should think some bright minds had come up with a solution to the text problem by now or at least be working on the issue. I would take just a posibillity to select different modes dependent if you are using dektop mode or film/HDR/Gaming mode. It's quite annoying when pretty much everything else than text clarity is in OLED's favor compared to normal LCD panels.

I could live withut the VESA mount, but no height adjustment seems like a REAL oversight that I can't deal with. I am tall and ALWAYS need to move my monitors to the highest setting possible most of the time.

I like the idea. Maybe someday we won't have to use curvature as a deciding factor between OLED monitors

Please test the text clarity without clear type. Browsers are really good at grayscale rendering. It should improve the situation.

Maybe nice if you want more than 27" screen height (the lg is 27" 16x9, the qd oleds are ultrawide but still the same height as 27" 16x9)

3:52 I'm not going to be able to see the whole thing because I'm blind in my left eye. The only exception is when it comes to watching movies and I don't mind having it flat. The only reason why I might buy this Flex monitor is for seeing a small minimap with a very small, hard-to-see compass like in Final Fantasy XV. I would still play games and do productivity work mostly using a 16x9 resolution or better yet, 4x3. Of course, the 4x3 aspect ratio might seem tiny for most people but for me, if the height of the screen really matters and not the width when reading documents, a 4x3 ratio would work just fine for me as long as the monitor does not stretch to fill the entire screen. Oh, and unless I am wrong, I won't be able to VESA-mount the monitor. Maybe one day the technology will improve to the point where the monitor can flex while having it VESA-mounted. I actually have a 15.6" UPERFECT 4K OLED monitor VESA-mounted to my monitor arm with a VESA-to-tablet converter and it worked out well for me. My 15.6" monitor is very close to me and the field of view is perfect even when magnified using GNOME Magnifier for Linux, Windows Magnifier for Windows, and Zoom for Mac.

The low ppi kept me from buying this and I'm glad I bought the Alienware in addition to my 34gp83ab instead. Desk stand just arrived and I stacked the former on top of the latter. Holy fuck it's so amazing lol

See, I respect the conclusion of "this is really convenient for those with multiple needs and no specific preference, if you have one, the monitor will be capable of providing it", but also I can't believe that this will be the slice of the monitor market that ends up as the majority. Disregarding costs and features and whatnot, I would think that both curved and flat panels would benefit from focused development in the future. When monitors can afford to be coated in glass as the glossy option, or when someone makes a glass-esque material without glare that curved monitors can benefit from, or for the features I disregarded (like turning and rotating; flexible monitors would have to consider the maximum dimensions for turning, right? So, the minimum height adjustment on a rotatable flexible panel may leave a lot of space below it when curved, because it's considering the flattest configuration, that sort of thing). Not to mention, flexible panel technology will always have the unusual issue of durability. My monitors may have their hinge or height adjustment springs eroded, but the screens will be as well kept as I can avoid touching them. If I'm repeatedly creasing my monitor, that means a third thing to go wrong in a few years or so. As interesting as this technology is, I would just hope for a monitor market like the keyboard market: every variation you can think of, and multiple ways to customise. Like, we have plenty of room to grow in that manner; imagine being able to select a monitor stand that has only swivel, or swivel and tilt, or both and rotation. Imagine being able to select the full bezel frame, or no bezel frame, etc. *That* would be a development, and that *should* be the development that all computer parts lean towards. Costs and manufacturing issues aside, anyway; I'm sure keyboards get away with it for being rather simple and consistent, to a degree.

Please do a review of Iiyama Red eagle brand, im wondering whats their quality or how good are advertised features, compared to others.

When can we expect a review of the Samsung Odyssey 43" G70NC ?

I think all reviews, at least going forward, should mention text clarity, text aliasing and pixel format (RGB or BGR). This information is very important for professionals looking for a monitor that perhaps is good for occasional gaming also. For example I would have really love if you made the same mentions about text that you made here, on the 3840x1600 monitors you reviewed. I'm a software developer and sometimes I like to play a game or two, but looking at text all day is mainly what I do.

I look at text all day, from scanned handwritten documents that are 50 years old to pdfs and everything in between and I have zero issues. If you’re using a monitor for work, the amount of time you spend going “ooo look how crisp that text is” is about 30 seconds and then you get on with your work. There’s nothing about being a software developer or programmer that means you have special requirements for text sharpness. You’re looking at exactly the same letters as everyone else in the world.

DLDSR fixes the PPI issue. DLDSR at 1.75x or 2.25x is very good to permanently use on this. Only way TO use it, to be honest

It would be quite nice to have a commonly used and understood number for pixels per.. degree of view? Something to put pixel density into perspective for how far you're actually sitting and experiencing the display, essentially. Generally information around "optimal" viewing distances feels like it's quite lacking, and I've found that many people get really into PPI and density when at times it can be like comparing apples to oranges. 90 PPI on a 24", 27" display will feel very different from the same density on a 55" TV by virtue of you sitting so much closer, so as a sole number it's just not very useful. Compare even a 4K 27" panel at 163 PPI to a Macbook Pro 14's 254 PPI and, on paper, it should be unusably worse - but you don't sit anywhere as close to the screen in this scenario. For an even starker scenario, take the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 500 PPI which is just completely stupidly dense but still attracts a lot of attention in marketing. Now those are just some very obviously extreme fringe cases, but I'm just trying to illustrate the principle. People are looking for a simple number, but then fail to contextualise it and that's quite sad. For context: I sit at around 80cm from my monitor since I have a deeper desk and put it on an arm. That makes my own experience of the same pixel density quite different than some of my friends' who will have for example only a 60cm desk and actually sit into it for what is then a 40cm viewing distance - hence my being fine even with a 4K 48" TV with a meagerly 92 PPI where to them that sounds completely unacceptable (and then prompts the aforementioned Macbook/"retina" argument). Bit of a personal gripe, and I wish there was a bit more perspective and education here also as many people's viewing habits are.. ergonomically questionable, at times. That being said, imagine if this had a 3840x1600 resolution (92 PPI) or higher, like 5120x2160 (123 PPI). That would be an absolute dream.

@christopherwang5155

Жыл бұрын

Agreed. I'm using the LG version of this panel and I fixed the low PPI issue by moving the display further back. Sitting around 40" (1 meter) from the center of the monitor, the screen takes up the same proportion of your vision as if you were sitting 30" (75cm) away from a 34-inch monitor like the Alienware/Samsung models. At this distance, the effective PPI to your retina is the same. In practice, sitting closer than 1m to a panel as large as this is quite unnatural anyhow, as you have to start turning your head side-to-side. So from a natural viewing distance, the PPI is a non-issue The subpixel layout is the more annoying issue, but it isn't as bad once you get used to it, as long as you are not using it for office work/productivity

26:30 "A version of this [...] at a higher resolution at a 45 inch size would be much more compelling" THAT. THAT'S the monitor I'm waiting for. Come on, manufacturers - listen to this guy!

As a Content consumption monitor, Corsair is actually done a genius move here. The technology isn't really that hard to implement, the screen is flexible on its own, we already have folding phones. It means they can ship a curved monitor in a flat monitor space. Imagine translating this technology to smaller monitors, into a 27-inch monitor or a 34-inch monitor. Hopefully they have a 4K version soon, as the 1440p version is a very odd resolution. I still bought it anyway, and I will upgrade to the 4k version when it comes out.

Pls also review the LG Ultragear 45

i hope this is a product that gets iterated & copied by other brands, maybe even get a VESA mount compatible copycat down the line, or a later version that uses a knob for the curve adjustment

Maybe low pixel density (78PPI) is corelated to flex ability. Maybe this can't be more pixel density becouse of this curve and flat position user can chose.

Will you guys cover smaller than 34" ultrawides for resolutions like 2560x1080?

Chapter 17 of final fantasy 7 is a blooming stress test. I’d be curious as to how mini led panels manage it

I have the monitor at the extreme rear of my desk, and don't think I'd be comfortable with a 45 inch display. It's just too big for how close it will be on a desk. This is just my opinion, and having choices of products is what makes tech innovation great. I'd like to eventually upgrade to an OLED panel some day, but I don't think I'll be in the market for a larger display.

I am surprised that they didn't do 3840, and obviously that lets you put more on the screen when doing productivity or browsing etc. I expect second generation will give that. I think 45 is a bit big as well, perhaps a 40 inch or so at 3840 is the sweet spot. I have a 3840x1600 monitor from LG, I have always resented those stolen pixels from me with the 1440 ones... probably irrational :)

4:20 what's a monitor stand?

That crooked USB-C port on the back drives me nuts

When I heard 45” OMG YES!!! Finally! But it follows with 3440x1440… God no we stuck at this resolution far too long. 5120x2160 needs to be mass already.

3840x1600 would do - 5120x2160 is just undrivable unless you have a 4090; even though you'd be lucky to do >144 consistently

@@jlgroovetek Maybe I am on the wrong channel. I will come clean and say that I am not a gamer. I don't play games on my computer. The only game I play is Pokemon Go. The reason I would like 5120x2160p with a high refresh rate of at least 100Hz. Because once you go above 60Hz. I can't see my screen with no lag anymore. And I love 21:9 despite there being no proper support from Apple regarding the HiDPI. And the monitor with color accuracy above 90% with 10 Bit panel is great. My work is just typical stuff, but I need color accuracy for media consumption and peace of mind. Also, the pixel density and the size of the screen play huge roles for my experience while using the monitor.

Will wait until "version 2 now with VESA Support!" before I take this monitor seriously as a purchase decision. However, I do believe it is a step in the right direction in the sense that the customer can choose between curve or not depending on what is being displayed. I also agree that the PPI needs to be around 110 for me to consider it seriously (mine currently is 108).

it will be challenging to fit a fixed vest mount to a product that bends, they could only fit the mount to the stand as all the electronics of the device are actually in the stand itself as circuit board dont bend

When Win11 is set to SDR and i start Cyberpunk 2077, the HDR options (scRGB, PQ) aren‘t available. So everytime i wanna use HDR in that game i have to press Win+Alt+B. In Battlefield V the monitor automatically switches to HDR. Though, Win11 is asking to use Auto-HDR. Why is it asking/offer that option when BFV has native HDR?

The price is insane , where I live for what Flex costs I can buy LG C2 42" and RTX 4090

I been living with this monitor for about a week now. One of my biggest concerns was the DPI since it was so low. But since it’s so large, you need to sit back farther to really take it in. And once you start playing a game, it’s not noticeable (at least to me). Games look amazing and the lower DPI allow me to hit those higher frame rates with my 3080. So I’ll take the trade off. I had the AW34 OLED before this one. While it was a great monitor, I couldn’t stand the fan noise, it was too much, even when I wasn’t using it, it still hummed so I returned it. If any of you guys are worried about the DPI, believe me, you won’t notice it. Or my eye site has gotten worse hitting the big 3 O. Great reviews as always. Keep it up guys!

Hey. I do have the same Alienware OLED and looking at the Corsair. Are you still using it? Is your opinion still the same? Would you still recommend it? And you are absolutely right, that fan in Alienware can go really crazy.

@@79maykee I actually ended up returning it due to HDR not working on it. I messaged Corsair about and they stated that they knew about the issue but won’t be able to fix it anytime soon. For the premium price, everything should work. I ended up getting a LG C3 42’ television as my mine monitor. I definitely miss the ultra wide but the colors of the TV are the best I’ve seen next to the Alienware QD-OLED. I’ll have to say that was my favorite ultra wide monitor I’ve had. I would have kept it, if it wasn’t for the damn fan.

@@cmdnoob thanks for taking time to respond. I was actually thinking about getting C3 vs Corsair and yesterday I pulled the trigger on the ultrawide. The aspect ratio was one of my main deciding factors. HDR does not work correctly with windows 11 and Alienware as well so I would be able to live with that. My main concern is still the PPI. I guess I will have to wait and see. Literally

@@79maykee for sure dude, happy I can help. Funny thing was that HDR worked great on the AW ultra wide. Halo infinite was jaw dropping. Did not get the same effect with the Corsair since HDR didn’t work on it. I hope it works out better for you than it did for me. It’s a great monitor but everything should work for that price range. Best of luck on finding the perfect monitor!

Not worth the price tbh. I returned mine within a week, the PPI was way too low especially for being that close its very noticeable. The OLED panel can barely save this monitor. I did enjoy being able to adjust the curve of the screen and the stand is easily one of the best out there but the monitor just doesn't scream $2,000 USD for me. Returned it and bought a LG C2 instead

If price is the same and I use it only for gaming should I go for this one or Samsung NeoG8???

Is this much better than the LG 45 Ultragear? I can get that one for $1299 at Best Buy now whereas the Corsair is $1999.

Thank you for pointing out the HDMI 2.1 ports not being 48 Gbps; it's a pity it doesn't have Displayport 2.0. I'm guessing that both are due to an internal processing chip. I note that the base seems to be a separate part: can you remove it to stack two of these monitors?

Great looking monitor 😳🤩🤯🥰! If this comes out in the future as a 4K ultrawide (2160p) and at around this size or slightly smaller size (~42”) then I’d buy this in a heartbeat. Job well done Corsair 🥰🥳😇👍

Brightness is too low. Qd-oled is x1.5 brighter. gen 2 qd-oled already having x2 - 300 nits of brightness and hdr true black 500 240 hz and 2 ms input lag are great! you can bend this screen? Not needed - go for a glossy display and 250 nit brightness at least with 100% white window. Price is 2 big. 700-800$ would be fine imo. Great video mr Tim, but the monitor is ... meh. Great to see some innovation - but on wrong directions

Too many of these oversized and too wide OLED monitors for wow factor though. Still waiting for 32" 4K QD-OLED 240Hz monitor. Something sharp and normal size if it's 1k+ already.

I was so excited when I saw the Samsung odyssey neo g8 was getting an oled…and then they made it not a Neo g8 but something completely different. I loved my Neo g7 except for hdr so I returned it. A 32-34inch 4K oled 1000r curve is all I hope for.
