- Corsair just launched a new 14.5-inch touch screen, Xeneon Edge
- It’s built for multitasking as a secondary screen for desktop PC users
- It is now available in Corsair’s Online Store, $ 250 / £ 219.99 / Around AU $ 385.99
Multitasking is a prominent factor for many PC users and one that can easily be achieved with double monitor setups using some of the best screens on the market, but it can take a significant amount of desk space. Fortunately, Corsair has provided a one-stop solution.
As reported by TWEACTOWN, Corsair has launched Xeneon Edge, a 14.5-inch touch screen display with a 2560×720 resolution, designed for multitasking with light system monitoring, access to web browsers and apps like Discord (which serves as another screen), as well as its ICUE software that provides functionality similar to ELGATO’s stream deck.
It is now available in Corsair’s online store for $ 250 / £ 219.99 / approximately AU $ 385.99. Although I think it is a hefty price tag to pay for a secondary view, the benefits of keeping tabs open on activities on a small screen too big for me to ignore.
The Xeneon edge can be mounted on the side panel of your PC case or simply placed under your primary screen. System and game information, discrepancies, wallpapers and other icue software -widgets can be used, releasing your main display from ROD.
The same can be done with a double monitor setup, but desktop space becomes a problem and it is not exactly ideal to leave your game window to address other tasks. With Xeneon Edge, it can all be done with a touch, and it seems that this should work without interfering in controls while in the game.
Analysis: Yes, there are cheaper alternatives but I’d rather rely on Corsair
There doesn’t deny that $ 250 / £ 219.99 / Around AU $ 385.99 is a bit of a plug and it would be easier to buy a cheaper alternative on aliexpress. Still, I’d rather go with a more reliable brand, and Corsair is the most important example of that.
Xeneon Edge is a niche product for some, but given how often I keep track of other messages and videos at the same time, it’s the perfect secondary screen to buy.
I have gradually grown tired of 32: 9 Super Ultrawide screens as they take significant amounts of desktop, and the performance hite from the 3440×1440 resolution to 5120×1440 is noticeable-and for me the Xeneon Edge responds both space concerns and eliminates visual root, so it is an no-brain.
