Corsair Xeneon Edge Touchscreen is Your Monitor's Copilot

The new Xeneon Edge is a 14.5-inch LCD touchscreen that's meant to be installed in the gap between your main monitor and the base of its stand or table as shown below. The concept borrows heavily from automobiles. Imagine the monitor is your windshield, and the Xeneon Edge is your instrument cluster. It plugs into HDMI (for display input) and USB (for the touchscreen HID), or can even plug into a USB-C that passes DisplayPort through. The display has a fairly high resolution of 2560 x 720 pixels, and can be used to display and input a variety of widgets as shown in the example below. For gamers, this could mean pushing your HUD or simulator dials down to this, freeing up FOV on your main display. The touchscreen takes up to 5 points of multitouch. The display has a magnetized rear, and can be made to latch onto one of the metal panels of your case à la HYTE Y70 Touch, as shown below. Corsair plans to make the Xeneon Edge available in Q2 2025.

If it reseases for over 100 bucks its definitely worse than just a mobile monitor and only has a niche usecase. For 70 bucks id get one.

then it's DOA, i could buy a 27" monitor for that price and i'd definitely put way more "HUD" on that , i think you could get a 14" multitouch monitor for that price as well if you're not bothered by those "point of sale" models

I'd buy this for the right price. I think $150 USD is fair. Anything under is a bargain.

G.Skill WigiDash runs $129 normally (though I see it for $103 currently after xmas, so I wonder if that's the new usual price point). This isn't going to be cheaper than the WigiDash, for sure. I'm going to guess $159 but won't be shocked if it's higher.

I used for quite a while "for free" very old HP buisness displays with dvi connectors.

You just need a cable for dvi to hdmi. It's electrically the same. For such HUD stuff those 4:3 screens are not that bad. Costs ~10€ max.

How much did Corsair pay to get the "toms hardware ""best in show"" CES 2025" award sticker? 0€ ?

Is this really best in show? I personally doubt that. Personally I'm more impressed by those 90° displays over the cpu aio cooler units.
