Fab all-round image quality ; Plenty quick enough ; Good build quality and feature set

Painfully pricey ; Not a true HDR panel

Expensive, if it remains at full MSRP Poor HDR implementation So-so results in contrast-ratio testing

Corsair's first gaming monitor, the Xeneon 32QHD165, is an impressive attempt at keeping competitive with industry stalwarts. Only its HDR implementation—and to an extent, its pricing—keeps it from being a big hit the first time at bat.

Outstanding gradient handling. Low input lag. Superb response time at any refresh rate. 165Hz refresh rate and VRR support. Wide horizontal viewing angle. Excellent gray uniformity. Incredible SDR color gamut. Great peak brightness.
