Corsair's highly-anticipated flexible gaming monitor, the Xeneon Flex, finally has a price and release (well, pre-order) date. The Xeneon Flex will be available to pre-order starting Thursday, Dec. 15. If you're interested in this 45-inch QHD 240Hz OLED gaming monitor, which can transform from a flat panel to a curved display, Corsair warns that you should act fast because there will be a "limited" quantity available.

The Corsair Xeneon Flex was first unveiled last summer, when it made a big splash thanks to its unique ability to bend — allowing users to flex the screen using a pair of handles. The screen can flex from flat to a curvature of 800R. The monitor also has a number of other desirable qualities:

• 45-inch diagonal screen
• LG W-OLED technology screen
• QHD 1440p resolution
• 240 Hz refresh rate
• Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium support
• 0.03 ms response time
• 0.01 ms pixel on and off time
• 1,000 nits peak brightness
• 1,350,000:1 contrast ratio
• HDR visuals
• DP and HDMI inputs plus audio and USB 3 hub

Some videos from GamesCom in late August highlighted potential issues with a prototype of the Xeneon Flex. Overclocker der8auer said the flexed monitor wasn't really curved like an arc, but had more of a soft V-shape when its sides were pulled in, and the flexing seemed pretty creaky.
