Flexible Display
Now the obvious difference between these two is how effortlessly you can curve or flatten the screen of the Xeneo Flex, which is not possible on the Odessey Neo G9. This foldable display can be used for gaming as well as productivity alike. The screen can be curved as much as 800R by simply pulling the handles on each side.
Resolution
However, the screen resolution is slightly limited on the Corsair Xeneon Flex. This 45-inch gaming monitor has a native resolution of 3,440 by 1,440p with a 21:9 aspect ratio.
Other than that, it is an OLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 240Hz. While the 49-inch Odyssey Neo G9 also shares the same refresh rate, it has a 5,120 by 1,440p native resolution coupled with 1000R curvature and a Mini-LED panel.
Connectivity
Other than that, the Xeneon Flex has a beefy stand that is filled with ports. We can see plenty of display connections including HDMI and DisplayPorts, along with USB 3.0 and USB-C ports on the front and back. The monitor itself looks pretty clean and minimal, which is likely to adapt to any kind of setup. Neo G9, on the other hand, has a futuristic vibe to it. The Core-Sync lighting on the back looks really cool, while the snowy exposure of the overall monitor gives it a premium look. Unlike the Xeneon Flex, the v-shaped stand of this monitor is quite minimal.
Final Verdict
“The Odyssey Neo G9 falls on the expensive side. While there is no confirmation regarding the price of the Xeneon Flex, we are expecting it to be one of the most expensive gaming monitors on the market, especially for its foldable functionality. However, as it is a 1440p OLED monitor, the price might be slightly lower than most 4K OLED screens that are currently available on the market. Although the Odyssey Neo G9 is quite expensive it is one of the best-curved gaming monitors to date. Corsair Xeneon Flex, however, has the best of both gaming and productivity usage to offer.”
