Corsair is finally launching another gaming monitor, but the new Xeneon 34WQHD240-C appears to have been worth the wait. The display is a first for the company in a few respects, as the manufacturer has never offered a QD-OLED panel nor a 34-inch ultrawide form factor in its line-up before. Of course, it comes with the gorgeous styling and unique features we’ve come to expect from the company’s screens too.
On to the details then, Xeneon 34WQHD240-C packs a 34-inch QD-OLED display. This is a Gen 3 panel, and so boasts a 3,440 x 1,440 resolution paired with a 240Hz refresh rate, putting it alongside the best gaming monitors in this category. Of course, it’s Nvidia G-Sync compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium certified.
Corsair equips Xeneon 34WQHD240-C with a glossy coating, typical of QD-OLED, which should enhance colour vibrancy while reducing glare as well. Similarly expected for a 21:9 screen, it has a slight curvature of 1800R. The panel is also VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, with a peak brightness of 1,000nits.
As expected of a Corsair monitor, ports face outwards for easy access. There’s a healthy selection present on Xeneon 34WQHD240-C too. With two HDMI 2.1 ports, a single DisplayPort 1.4, and one USB Type-C with DP Alt mode (and 65W power delivery), this screen can serve up to four devices. Meanwhile, it equally caters for all your peripherals with four USB Type-A 3.1 ports and one USB Type-C, but there’s sadly no sign of a KVM switch.

Xeneon 34WQHD240-C features the same button configuration and proximity sensor as Corsair’s previous monitor, Xeneon 27QHD240 OLED. Having experienced this feature personally, it’s actually more useful than you might think (especially in a dark room). However, in lieu of testing the buttons, we hope their quality has improved else we’ll continue crying out for more typical joystick controls.
Corsair hasn’t shared any details regarding pricing or availability for Xeneon 34WQHD240-C. However, we imagine the monitor will be on store shelves before the year’s out. In terms of how much it’ll cost, expect something in the region of $1,000+, using competitors as reference points.
