Introduction

Corsair has expanded its Xeneon monitor lineup with an unexpected and somewhat unusual addition—the Xeneon Edge, a 14.5-inch, 2560×720 (32:9 screen ratio) touchscreen panel that can technically be used as a second monitor, but is far more suited for displaying system loads and temperatures, Twitch chat, Windows notifications, custom GIFs and animations, and/or various other widgets. All of this while being mounted inside a PC case, thanks to its compatibility with standard 360 mm fan mounts, or positioned above, below, or to either side of the main screen on the desktop.



If it's not already obvious, versatility is one of the Xeneon Edge's key features, getting creative with its placement and use case is what this monitor is all about. It supports both HDMI and USB-C (DP Alt Mode) for video input and uses the same USB-C connection for power. Corsair opted for a 60 Hz AHVA panel with a 5-point touch-sensitive layer, allowing you to interact with widgets or swipe between "screens" using your fingers. Corsair also implemented virtual Stream Deck support, significantly expanding the Xeneon Edge's functionality. A large touchscreen with customizable virtual buttons is exactly the kind of feature that could convince many users to take the plunge on the $250 Xeneon Edge.
