Product Overview

Corsair Xeneon 32QHD165 is a mainstream 32-inch QHD gaming monitor in Corsair's 2021 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit IPS panel.

Notably, this monitor supports HDR up to DisplayHDR 400. In terms of color reproduction, one can expect above average performance. The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty.

Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.

Reviewers from pcmag have found:

The Xeneon 32QHD165 is Corsair's first attempt at the gaming monitor market. Its unique stand, solid build quality, well-designed OSD, and remarkable color results make it a content creator's dream pick. Unfortunately, the Corsair's HDR implementation is just too far behind the pack, especially when compared with feature-similar alternatives.

Pros

Outstanding color results from Quantum Dot Fast IPS panel
Excellent build quality
Strong OSD

Cons

HDR implementation is a bit finicky
No manual calibration

Reviewers from techradar have found:

Corsair Xeneon 32QHD165 has a 32-inch 1440p panel running at up to 165Hz. Thanks in part to quantum dot technology, it's good for fully 100% of the Adobe RGB gamut. There's also VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, plus AMD FreeSync Premium support and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility.

Pros

Bright, punchy and punchy 1440p panel
Fantastic gaming performance

Cons

No local dimming
No HDR support

Reviewers from tomsguide have found:

The Corsair Xeneon 32QHD165 has almost everything you could ask for in a premium gaming monitor. It has a broad port selection, zippy response time, a speedy refresh rate, a streamlined OSD interface, and strong performance as far as both brightness and color are concerned. Although its HDR performance is limited, that won't be a major loss with most content.

Pros

Fast 165 Hz refresh rate
Wide port selection
Zippy response time

Cons

No 4K resolution
No HDR support

Reviewers from tomshardware have found:

The 32QHD165 has tremendous color saturation. It's the most colorful monitor we've reviewed. Its huge color gamut was a real asset in both SDR and HDR games. Though it doesn't quite have the sparkle of an Ultra HD screen with dynamic contrast, it puts a serious amount of color into the image.

Pros

Gorgeous color gamut
Large 16:9 screen
Excellent build quality

Cons

No dynamic contrast
No HDR

Reviewer score 43% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from trustedreviews have found:

Corsair Xeneon 32QHD165 is good enough for mainstream and casual gaming. Poor contrast and Delta E figures mean this panel lacks vibrancy, refinement and accuracy. Dell S3220DGF matches the Corsair’s size, resolution and refresh rate for a price of £399 / $479 / €368.

Pros

Gorgeous design
Good contrast ratio

Cons

Mediocre contrast
Poor colour accuracy
