The Xeneon Edge took quite a long time to hit the market. It was announced back in January, shortly after Corsair’s EX400U SSDs, which became available right away (currently priced at $128 on Amazon). In contrast, Corsair didn’t start selling the Xeneon Edge until the end of August on its own website.
New Variants Released
Interestingly, the original Xeneon Edge is still marked as ‘coming soon’ at B&H Photo Video. However, Corsair has chosen to update its ultrawide secondary display by introducing new White and Atomic Purple versions. Essentially, these new models have the same hardware as the first version and can be utilized on a desk or inside a PC instead of being limited to a 360 mm radiator.
Specs and Pricing Details
Both the White and Atomic Purple models come with AHVA panels that have a resolution of 2,560 x 720 pixels and a 32:9 aspect ratio, measuring 14.5 inches diagonally. They provide a peak brightness of up to 350 nits, but the refresh rate is only 60 Hz, and they support a 5-point touchscreen. Right now, the new Xeneon Edge variants are priced at $249.99, which is the same as the initial model. Corsair’s website states that these new variants should start shipping between December 20 and December 23. For more information, check out the company’s official site.
