Corsair Xeneon 32qhd165 gaming monitor review — A valiant first effort

For any PC peripheral company, it seems like at one point or another, a monitor will become one of the products it offers. Corsair is the latest to enter that mix with the Corsair Xeneon 32qhd165 monitor.

Available for just about six months now, Corsair’s first entry shows that it means business and expects to be a major player for years to come. But what works and what needs work with the Corsair Xeneon 32qhd165 gaming monitor?

Immediately out of the box, you realize just how big the whole thing is. I don’t just mean the display, which comes in at 32 inches. I’m talking about the stand and base for it as well. The stand for the monitor is all aluminum and takes up quite a significant portion of your desk space. With its size and the materials used, however, it’s one of the better quality monitor bases you’ll find on the market without spending over $1,000 USD. 

The monitor itself isn’t all that large aside from the expected panel size. The bezels are what you’d expect for a modern gaming display, and its weight is surprisingly light on its own. Setting it up is quite simple, as the base and stand connect via a single screw. The monitor then connects via four screws to a 100mm x 100mm mount, meaning, yes, it is VESA compatible for those with third-party mounts.

The stand has clips for useful cable management to keep everything in order. On the top of the monitor there’s an attachment area for an Elgato mount for your camera, light, or whatever you’d like. While the mount itself is a separate purchase, Corsair makes sure to keep everything in the family with add-ons. Adjustment wise, you can position the monitor height, tilt, and swivel for the best viewing angles depending on your setup.

One of the better parts of most
