You can bend the new Corsair OLED gaming monitor to your will
The Corsair Xeneon Flex is taking the curved gaming monitor to the next level, bringing you a screen you can physically bend to your liking. Developed in partnership with LG, the panel uses W-OLED technology, helping the flagship set its sights on taking the title of best gaming monitor.

It comes with all the usual suspects, such as an anti-reflective
