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 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

thank you for the cleaning the water blocks it did help me alot, yall are great. thank you.

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!

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

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

Welcome back home Jay🥳hope you had a lovely vacation

welcome back jay hope u & the family had a good holiday

Watching Jay talk about OLED contrast/black levels reminds me of when I first got my OLED TV. The Nightmare Before Christmas was like an entirely new experience on OLED with a movie that's so high contrast black/white for so many scenes.

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.

Unrelated but thank you so much! I watched your video about bent cpu pins and managed to fix mine with your help!

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

I just got the alienware oled ultrawide and it's amazing.

For those that aren't interested in the adjustable curve, or the fixed stand, LG also has this panel available (for preorder atm) with a fixed 800R curve and VESA mount capability.

Welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your vacation!

Would love more Monitor videos! Keep it up Jay! :DDD 💪

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.

This monitor looks good but the resolution doesn't make sense, I think that might affect demand. I want this monitor but not at that resolution.

I really like how the ports are attached to the stand.

Good review. Getting mine in couple days

This is a great looking monitor, but it didn't render any thing obsolete. The price tag on this thing is going to ensure other cheaper monitors continue to be sold.

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.

good to have you back Jay. Phil was awesome but it's you I watch the channel for and have learnt from for some time

How will 3440x1440 on a 45 inch display look like though? I wish it were 4k at this size for more PPI.

I really love that adjustability and choice has become so important. The tech on this looks really nice. For me the lack of vesa support is a deal breaker though as I need a tall dual monitor mount as most desks are just too short. I have a really long torso. I have also never been into ultrawide and curved displays myself. 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.

Did we ever get a “finished tour” of the new office? Love those vlogs.

I hope you had a relaxing vacation!!!

Honestly Jay, I don't really care about the adjustability. If they just had a set curve and upped the resolution to 4K, I would be sold at asking price. But 45" at 1440p? Nah, no way.

I've been using the 48" CX over two years as a full 4k pc gaming monitor with no issues at all. The picture looks as good as when it was new. Just use a little common since with these and they'll be fine. I'll never go back to a standard lcd monitor. So amazing the difference.

That monitor looks wonderful!

YES! Magnolia Hi-Fi was a Seattle-based company that dealt in all high-end electronics. Nice reference, Jay! They always had the best stuff!

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?

Going from a VA was a big difference with IPS. Going from IPS to IPS High Frame/HDR was a big step up. I can only Imagine high framerate OLED HDR panels. My wife gets to have the big difference of VA to IPS High Framerate HDR panel this Christmas. Can't wait to give it to her.

My treat to upgrade 2yrs ago to a LG CX on sale was a worthwhile upgrade imo. However, the advancements in modern QLED is definitely offering a very similar visual experience for noticeably less money and a great alternative for more budget minded and discerning people 🥰✊💪👍

I bought mine on Amazon with 20% off. I've had it for over a month. Just saw your review, so thanks for agreeing with me regarding my choice. Great monitor!

I would be interested in a 32" widescreen version of this monitor.

As cool as this is... I just want to know what the actual panel is so I can go looking for it without the bending thing that probably ads 600+ to the final price :( I can't see myself using that feature enough to justify it as an optional price add... Cool bit of kit, but to feature rich for my needs.

I hope the quality of this Corsair monitor will stand. I just built a new PC no compromise last Saturday, and have spent the last week solving blue screen issues resulted from faulty corsiar ddr 5 memory and a 5000D airflow case with the side panel not manfacuted to fit the case and has gaps.

Thanks a lot Jay

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.

I disagree with the clickbait title. Imo, 43" too big for 1440p. 249hz is nice, but I think the AW still has the lead.

Nice concept. Maybe next time I am in the market for new monitors.

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.

it's cool, just waiting for a 4k 144hz 27 flat or 32" curved. At the price point of the xeneon it has somewhat low dpi and doesn't exactly hit rated peak brighness. Nice to see more oled monitors make it to the market. Oled is just so good, hopefully it comes down in price.

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.

Great video... I wonder if Phil would use this monitor to play Control or use it to video edit... Looks very interesting...

I saw this in store today and was convinced, I came here to see if you had reviewed it and well let’s just say I’m planning to unbox soon 😏

2K for a screen is insane. Especially in a world where more and more ppl struggle in general. Still waiting for a 3440x1440p, 34-38" monitor vesa compatible. Glad oled ones are coming and hopefully we'll see cheaper ones in the near future.

Now if they made a motorised one that would be perfect 🤤

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

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!

I'll never own one but man I'm really blown away by the progress of tech!

A pity regarding the resolution, for a panel this size, the pixel density is a deal breaker for me. But I look forward to the upcoming DP2.1 OLED 7680 x 2160 ultra wide panels with hopefully 240Hz would finally let me replace my dual 4K 144Hz panels with perfect HDR OLEDs with a decent resolution. However if that doesn't come true, then I'd have to wait for 2x 4K 240Hz OLEDs powered by the 4090.

Holy cow that is one big monitor

And to "Phil" Who did such an excellent job at reviews, when you were on vacation Jay!

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.

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

I couldn't fit this size in my current setup, I'd need something around the 32" mark, but I think I personally would look for something with this level of visual spec, but without the bendability. It's super cool and all, but I don't want to HAVE to use the stand it comes with. I like the extra desk room a monitor mount gives. I'm happy with a flat monitor and would rather have other features than a curve at the size I'm using. Also the price of 2k is a hard pill to swallow for what is, at the end of the day, a hobby.

Would love to see this tech adapt to content creating monitors. That would be cool.

It looks amazing. Corsair never fail to impress. Using a 1440p Rog Swift panel with a 3080 12GB atm and am loving gaming with that setup. Cheers Jay!!! Oh, give Phil a rise, he was awesome with the AMD coverage!!!!

I like how Phil is a smart shopper with them Wranglers. Good choice Phil.

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.

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

OMG that massive peel!❤🥲🤤

Too bad the resolution makes it trash....esp for that price. The LG variant is about $300 cheaper and has the same panel, VESA support. If i had to buy i would definitely go for the LG variant. Its already up for pre order

OLED will ruin you, no truer words have been said. I had a cx 48, now a QD oled by Alienware. I almost want to buy this! Great review!

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.

love the straightforward title

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.

"Bendable" monitor sounds as cool as power seats do. Once you set it, you'll probably never, ever, mess with it again. Another gimmick to pass on.

I agree about displays u need a good one and it needs to be pleasant to look at.

I'd love for you to compare this to the Alienware QD-OLED monitors, so hear your opinion on the different approaches to OLED and compare them side by side

I still await the day of 32" 4K with OLED and 120Hz+ Best size for pixel density and closer viewing distances, best format for HDR content, best refresh rate for gaming. The true triple threat monitor.

Fantastic, now I can finally have a full Corsair themed build!

jay what is your take on this screen "LG 42-Inch Class OLED Flex Smart TV with Bendable Screen 42LX3QPUA" it is already on the market

i love how jay admits that a secret passion of his is a specific computer component

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.

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.

I love big monitors and this one takes the cake

LIKE WIRE, i wonder how many times you can bend it before it snaps. Love your channel

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.

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 !

I'd be curious to know how they'll manage to keep the bend radius even across the entire screen after repeated use.

Wow! Put it on my list of things I wish I could afford!

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.

But... Alienware? I mean yeah it is 175hz/165hz instead of 240, but their models are also less than half the price and have a more reasonable pixel density at 34". But nevertheless, I am just really excited that OLED has finally made it to the gaming market!

What are your thoughts on the LG OLED Flex Jay?

I would love to see VESA points on the back of that electronics box. I'm planning a setup that would have a display like this that I can use for flightsims, then convert it into a standing desk for doing my graphics work. This has been the promise of OLED from the very beginning. Glad to see it's finally here.

I've never had a good experience with OLED. I've *always* has issues with burnin. (for everything other than a mobile device anyway) **edit** .....and now I'm at the anti-pixel retention part of the video haha. Nicely done Jay

2000$ for 1440 🤡🤡🤡

Just ordered one for the Digital Storm system coming my way in a few weeks (Velox pretty much maxed out except for hard pipes) looks like this will be a great tool. Might need to beef up that circuit breaker....

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

I hate this sensationalized title on videos. It doesn't make everything else obsolete at all, maybe in a few years when the tech gets more affordable, but until then it's just another enthusiast product.

Is this clickbait it really feels like clickbait;⁠)

Does this have built-in crosshair?

The website doesn't mention any useable dimensions. Just diagonal, which doesn't tell you anything. Width and height (both all the way down and all the way up on the mount) would be nice.

I really want this monitor. I am currently using a Lenovo Legion y44w-10 (3840x1200), is it a worthy upgrade from my current monitor?

What is the bezel made of? I'd worry about the flexible plastics turning to goo or becoming brittle with age and UV exposure.

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

Absolutely mint, got to play this in person today and I am looking to order this beast! I am glad it’s not higher resolution, saves my poor GPU 😅 lol
