Competition from LG
Shortly after Corsair first showed off the Xeneon Flex, LG launched a gaming monitor that looks like the same panel, the UltraGear 45-inch 240Hz Curved OLED Gaming Monitor (model 45GR95QE). However, there was one big difference. That is, the curvature of the LG model is fixed at 800R. You can save some money by building a monitor with a fixed curvature. Also, the LG 45GR95QE he is cheaper at $1,699. It will also be available for pre-order soon (December 12th) and is expected to ship by the end of 2022.
LG then launched another monitor (TV) called the LG OLED Flex TV (model LX3), which is flexible like the Xeneon Flex. This gamer-friendly 4K OLED TV of his features a 42-inch screen, 120Hz refresh rate, and variable refresh rate (VRR). The LG OLED Flex TV bends using a remote control rather than a handle, offering 20 curvature levels from perfectly flat to 900R. As you can imagine, this is a hefty $2,999.
