Someone needs to get two of these and only bend the left side of the left one and the right side of the right one. I just want to see what it would look like to have two side by side with the ends bent and the middle where they meet still straight. It would be completely impractical but I just want to see what it would look like.

I switched to a 42 inch LG C2 and it is a game changer for real. I thought the size would be too big, but grew accustomed to it the same day. Also there is truth about the eye strain Jay speaks of here, and it is substantially less than my previous VA panel.

How deep is your desk, for a 42 inch monitor? I am considering a 42 oled, but my desk is only 60cm deep (23.6 inches) and I'm afraid it's not enough.

[@Redridge07]

you use the 42" as a desktop monitor?

[@StormFahrt]

I love the idea of the base for this monitor. Makes me think they could make them where the screen is hot swappable. So if something happens to it you just unhook it from the base and swap it out or swap it out for a standard 16:9 screen or whatever screen sized they have available that fit that particular base!

[@danishprince2760]

Love that OLED and QD-OLED monitors are getting more common! Still quite expensive of course but definitely worth it imo especially if you also use your monitor to watch movies or videos in general

[@Fighter4Street]

Do you think you are better off getting a QD-OLED monitor?

[@nikkorocksalot5254]

I think a good way to describe OLED is like having a subwoofer. The low detail is so much clearer with something that can reach down there, and that applies for brightness as well

[@dacel88]

I've been staying off oleds because they say you lose alot of details in the dark. wich would be bad for Tarkov - have i been misinformed or?

[@Looooordi]

@@dacel88 I play Tarkov a lot on my C1 oled TV, but I also play it at my work with an ips gaming monitor. I don't really notice a difference in how well I can see the dark areas. Tarkov is so dark that I have to increase the gamma from Nvidia control panel for both of the displays. I think that oled looks similar to VA panels in Tarkov, so it just has more contrast between dark and light areas

[@boofsity7680]

I've been using my cx for my pc for a year now and love it. Might have to look into this.

[@Slane583]

Since I'm a fan of Corsair products and I've kind of been sticking to the Corsair ecosystem this looks like a potential monitor for the future. It may not have the ability to be vesa mountable but since the main screen pedestal is housing all of the monitors components that make it function I like how all of the controls and inputs have been made easily accessible because of it. I like my current 32" monitor a lot as it has gotten me to a larger screen size I've been wanting for a while. But it's mainly just a 1080p monitor I got a really good deal on. Since I'm slowly refreshing my system and making it more premium than when I first built it this screen will compliment it nicely. But my goal is still a new high-end graphics card so this will be a while into the future. I'd love to be able to experience HDR as my XBox ONE S and Windows 10 supports it but my tv and monitor does not.

[@MrHandsomeStudios]

This is such a cool monitor. It has 240hz while at the same having great contrast and color reproduction due to OLED. I would personally really like if they make a smaller version of it like a 27 inch in the future.

[@mpholicx2]

I have two displays for my pc. A 48" standard lcd/led and a 48" oled (on a L shaped desk). All productivity apps, web surfing, email and even game installs are performed on lcd/led monitor. All game play is performed on oled. Game HUDS, life meters etc. can still potentially be a problem but I don't expect any retention for years.

[@RayBo]

Same! I am hooked on my LG48" oled, going on 2yrs, and have had no issues.

[@billcipher1212]

the flex is definitely just a party trick or for testing what you want in a shop because you will just find your favourite curvature and then leave it there

[@marcogenovesi8570]

it's mostly to ramp up production of bendable displays in general

[@torfinnjohnsrud793]

Yea, the only use case I can think of are if you wanted to get curvature for immersion in media, and then flat for graphics design/other productivity related needs

[@S41t4r4]

It isn't really that good for trying out curvatures. It can be basically any radius in between but you basically have to eyeball it.

[@grievesy83]

I would 100% change the curve: tighter for combat flight sim, more open for RPGs. I just need to fabricate a bracket to get it on my gas strut monitor arm, which shouldn’t be difficult. There are use cases for it, though I accept you’re probably correct for the majority. But even if you are correct, it’s still a good feature because the one model caters to all curve preferences. It means they don’t have to tool the manufacturing line for flat, 1800R, 1500R, etc. models. If you like the panel specs for the Alienware DW(insert rest of model numbers here) but not the curve, then you have to buy a different monitor. For that reason alone, it’s brilliant.

[@bartolomeothesatyr]

The real party trick is being able to dial in exactly what your favourite curvature is, rather than having to adapt to whatever fixed curvature the manufacturer set it at. Personally, I generally prefer flat panels because I'm bothered by the geometric perspective distortion curved panels introduce when my eyeballs aren't in exactly the right position, but I suspect that problem could be mitigated if I could dial in exactly the right curvature for my exact eyeballs at my exact viewing distance.

[@iceboy_2494]

As someone who owns an LG Oled I can vouch for Jay. I didn’t even watch tv anymore but then I got my OLED and it is the best 2k I’ve spent by far

[@kennedy31]

I ordered the LG variant that doesn’t bend. It’s fixed 800r curvature but vesa mounting is necessary for my situation and it’s only for gaming. The curve isn’t bad for sim racing which is primarily what I’ll use it for but definitely improves immersion for other games. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

Really cool technology and cant wait to see what else they come up with and see pricing come down on this kind of thing as I do want an oled panel.

The big loss here for me is the resolution and pixel density. 1440 with a screen this size is pretty noticeable. Especially with a monitor that most people sit closer to than a TV. It will be more impressive once they can get it up to 4K in the future.

[@AnA-js7wv]

@@AnA-js7wv, it's not great. It may be good, but it's not great. My Odyssey G9 has 25 more ppi than this monitor, and supports 240 Hz. Also, stretching 1440 to this screen height IS noticeable. You might be okay with it if you had less before and can't compare it to anything else, but it is pretty dismal. Especially for $2000. For this size, I'd rather have 144 Hz at 4K.

So USB C alt mode setting, when set to 4 lane will pretty much invalidate the use of the USB A ports, whereas 2 lane will not. But for 2 lane, DP 1.4 with DSC will be required from the CPU. So that's an interesting consideration. It's great to see the control as most monitors do not have that and may always run in 4 lane leaving useless USB A ports.

[@OldBuford]

im still not sold on a 45" 3440x1440. im currently on a 32" 3440x1440 and the PPI is good, not great. maybe if youre sitting far enough away itll be ok but doesnt that kind of defeat the purpose of a curved monitor?

[@EldenLord.]

Have a 32" 3440x1440 aswell I completely agree. What is it with companies making these massive monitors but then having a far too low resolution? I dont care about 240Hz. I would take 5160×2160 @120Hz over 3440x1440 @240Hz any day.

[@Rockindaxmike]

You guys sure it’s 32”? Maybe you meant 34” since that’s ultrawide 3440 x 1440p and 32” is 16:9 ratio that usually comes in at 2560x1440 resolution

[@TheNiteNinja19]

I hope to see this panel tech in a monitor that I can actually put on a VESA mount. I can't care less about the bendable gimmick, I like the panel itself.

[@patrickkershaw4885]

Then get the LG version. It doesn't bend and is about $300 cheaper.

[@patrickkershaw4885]

@roenie It wasn't really a recommendation just that LG has released a monitor with that panel and VESA mount for $300 cheaper than the Corsair. I have the Alienware 34" QD-OLED and I would recommend that over both of these.

[@wombat5252]

The bending is amazing. When I want to WATCH content, I prefer a flat non curved screen. When I play any game, I prefer curved. This is the best of both worlds!

[@justinpayne2522]

I'm about $9000 into my custom build and not finished yet. I been wondering what monitor to get. Jay I think you convinced me to buy this one. I've watched quite a few of your videos and they've been very helpful. Thank you

I loved the fact during the cable mod advertising all of the cables were out of stock. I guess that means they are popular.

[@Gavrev]

That peel was JayzTwoHub at its best. What a glorious looking panel, and I'm not normally a fan of the ultrawide, but this..

[@MistaiRek07]

burn in is definitely a concern. I am shocked that he brushed it off so quickly multiple times. While yea LG does put in great anti burn in features, they arent 100% worry free like he makes them seem. If you are spending your hard earned money on an Oled (like I have) definitely invest in a good warranty plan or do things to prevent it, like no wallpaper, no desktop icons, and no task bar.

[@manticore4952]

This is the only reason why I am not going OLED for a monitor, I would love to because OLED looks beautiful.

[@Slimmeyy]

You don't even need to invest, almost all OLED monitors come with longer burn-in warranties than the actual monitor warranty.

[@Lock2002ful]

Did anyone find the height measurements for this one? Currently use my old 42 inch LG tv as a monitor and while I like this very much, I wouldn’t wanna go down a lot in height. Most ultrawide monitors that are ~34 inch are from a height perspective only about a 27 inch 16:9 monitor which I find a little tiny.

[@JoviaI1]

This is a little taller than a 32" in 16:9 and a lot wider. Exact Dimensions (when flat) is 17.5" tall by 41.5" wide. Quite big and pushing the 1440p resolution.

[@aw6423]

Your C2 is 20.35" in panel height while this is 17.73" which is roughly equivalent to a 36" 16:9 monitor.

[@drunkhusband6257]

@@JoviaI1 I measured it, it is almost exactly the size of a 48" TV running a 21:9 aspect ratio.

[@squidikka]

It's nice, but that pixel resolution is a nonstarter for me. The monitor is way too big for that pixel count, especially if you're dropping $2k on it.

[@slamscaper128]

I've been wanting an OLED like this ever since I first saw one on my Galaxy Note 3 smartphone. This is everything I've dreamed of. I truly hope I can afford this guy at some point in the future. It's amazing!

Bought a LG C1, and honestly, the best thing I've ever bought. It's just amazing. I imagine this panel is about the same.

[@bcredeur97]

Is 3440x1440 enough for 45”? It seemed perfect on 34” models but this might be a bit big

[@drunkhusband6257]

It has about the same pixel density of a 55" 4k tv, and that looks fine.

[@MrMrTravman]

@@drunkhusband6257 Not even close, the PPI is way higher. Also you sit farther back on a TV.

You don’t have to sell me on OLED; I remember seeing my first OLED screen. Back about 2008 at the Sony Style store, Sony had one of the first OLED TVs. It was the size of a license plate but also as thin as a license plate - like a license plate with a miraculous video image blazing out one side of it.

[@richardchristie1293]

Best tech news I've heard all year, & about time. I'm unlikely to shell out for this model, but hopefully this leads to competition & OLED being a sensible option for a PC monitor.

[@dodruku]

Jay, it's absolutely stunning that you can see all the details in that 8K HDR mirror dimension clip. ...but I checked on Asus PG279 and MG279 and I can see all the details you point out very well and in 1440p at that! The colors are not the same, for sure. Judging from your footage you also have a lot more contrast (where there shouldn't be as much) - this could be due to filming and youtube though. So umm: "Normally you can't see that" part is straight up false. I remember checking on another one of your monitor videos. Next time please put a nice led monitor beside it and check the details. I'm sure it's MUCH better than older led panels, but not the details part. Love ya still, cheers.

[@Xeonzs]

Thanks for this video, the screen looks dope even though I probably wouldn't bend it, I'm not a fan of curving screens, but simply hearing that OLED technology has matured and become more affordable was enough to make me have a look if there's any good offers.

[@StaySic4Ever]

I don't get why they really had to go with such huge size, also especially with such small resolution. Very expensive for those specs. I'll wait for 4K 16:9 32" or so size to appear, hopefully on CES we see some !

[@fynkozari9271]

Cant believe Corsair lied about the price not $2000 a few months back, its $1999.

[@_Charrizard_]

I want this so bad but $2k for non 4k? Corsair basically said everyone has to pay to play lol. Can't seem to make up my mind between this or the Odyssey Neo. Edit: I bought the Neo shortly after this video and within a month, I noticed quite a few dead pixels. Thankfully, I was able to return it. When the Flex drops in price I may pick it up and pair it with the 57"G9. Sucks that the 49"g9 oled only has 1800r and uses mini hdmi.

It's expensive because it's the only one of it's type give it are year and other brands will bring out their versions which will cut the price of this monitor in half considering the spec's of this monitor is pretty average $2000 is abit much to ask for.
