Corsair Xeneon 34WQHD240-C 34" Review: 240Hz QD-OLED Ultrawide

Scorpus · Oct 5, 2024

Corsair's Xeneon 34WQHD240-C is a premium 34-inch QD-OLED ultrawide, featuring a 240Hz refresh rate and sleek white-silver design. However, its $1,200 price raises questions about its overall value.

1200$ for 1440p... who the hell would be stupid enough to buy that?

OLED offers the thinnest displays currently available.
Unfortunately, they are not getting thinner overall. I check new tvs at bestbuy sometimes. Well, they stayed the same thickness for a long time.
You can buy a very thin led monitor today. There is simply no way you would be able to find an oled monitor with its thickest parts to be thinner than that of a thin led IPS monitor.
In a sense, thinness of OLED displays is nullified by their overal size with motherboard and other parts.
And that is sad. I always disliked thick older lcd tvs.

It is a bit strange that OLED displays are not getting thinner. Laptops did, phone did, tablets.
I would speculate they simply dont know how, right now. Must be the heat.

I would suggest the thickness it mainly due to heat management technologies used by the manufacturers, especially given the need to drive greater brightness for HDR content.

Here's a study from 2010 that highlights the need and benefits of heat management for OLEDs:

There's only a limited array of OLED care options. It's one of the more basic OLED offerings that we've tested, but it's also on the more expensive side.....

okay, nuff said then. Pass. If its more than 700 for this resolution = hard pass even if its the best 1440p monitor in the world.

Just shows how good the Alienware is, which has been out for years. Its not as bright, sure, but trades blows or beats it on other things (colour, contrast), and we're only talking 5%-10% less bright, its hardly noticeable. Why would you pay a significant premium for this ... 165hz to 240hz, whats the difference? Especially since monitors like this generally aren't chosen for competitive esports, but for people who enjoy non-competitive gaming where refresh rate is harder to hit, and less important. This is one of those products that only makes sense for people with a lot of money and who just want the best ... and somehow think double the price, for a monitor 3% better, is worth it.
