Our Verdict
Corsair XENEON FLEX 45WQHD240
Corsair XENEON 27QHD240
The Corsair XENEON 27QHD240 is a smaller model than the Corsair XENEON FLEX 45WQHD240, and they share many similarities, but there are a few differences too. The 45WQHD240 has a wider and larger 45-inch screen and 3440x1440 resolution, so you can see more of your game at once, and it has a bendable screen. On the other hand, the 27QHD240 has a more ergonomic stand that you can remove, so you can mount the display if you choose to. The 45WQHD240 gets brighter in SDR, but other than that, the monitors are similar.
