Corsair Xeneon Edge 14.5: A weird monitor in all the right ways

A small, versatile touchscreen monitor that can be used as a secondary display, attached to a tripod mount, or mounted inside a desktop PC.

- MATTHEW S. SMITH

The Corsair Xeneon Edge 14.5 is the most versatile PC display I've ever reviewed. It can be used as a secondary display, which is how I used it. However, it can also be mounted to a 1/4-inch-20 tripod mount, or attached to a 360mm radiator mount in a PC desktop. You could use it as part of a streaming setup, attach it to a flight- or driving-simulator rig, or mount it inside a desktop PC to add flair or provide a performance monitoring dashboard. That makes it a fun and useful peripheral. Plus, at an MSRP of $249.99, it's reasonably priced.

SPECS AND FEATURES

The Corsair Xeneon Edge 14.5 is best summarized as a small super-ultrawide touchscreen. It measures 14.5 inches diagonally, as its name implies, but it has a roughly 32:9 aspect ratio and 2560×720 resolution.

Unusual size aside, the Xeneon Edge 14.5 also stands out because of its long list of mounting options. It ships with a magnetic desk stand for desktop use, but it also includes options for use with a 360mm PC desktop radiator mount or a tripod mount. You can even use the builtin magnets to attach the display to the side of a desktop PC (or any magnetic surface).
