Xeneon Edge Review: Corsair’s Cleverest Gadget Yet

Corsair's Xeneon Edge is a 14.5” touchscreen display that’s designed to go pretty much anywhere. Stick it on your desk, inside your computer, or magnetically attach it to pretty much anything metal. It features a 2560x720 60hz AHVA panel which supports up to 5-point multi touch, alongside widgets which you can customise with iCUE. Can this new touchscreen - with its widgets, gadgets and gizmos - take centre stage on your desk or in your PC?

Pros • Responsive touch screen • Clever software control with iCUE and widgets • Versatile mounting options – can be standalone, magnetic, case mounted, ¼”-20 mounted • Bright, vibrant and crisp display • Very useful when coupled with Elgato’s Virtual Stream Deck Software (although this will work on any monitor) • DP Alt mode for a single cable setup on compatible systems Cons • Included desktop stand is not very robust and quite flimsy • No USB passthrough, which would be useful when in desktop mode • Widget placement feels a little restrictive with grid layout system • No quick way to switch between widget and ‘normal’ display mode We never offer affiliate links or take percentages of product sales.
