Reviewer score 81%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.

- Strong OSD
Cons
- HDR implementation is a bit finicky
- No manual calibration

tomsguide[3]
Reviewer score 79%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.

Cons
- No 4K resolution
- No HDR support
tomshardware[4]
Reviewer score 87%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
trustedreviews[5]
Reviewer score 43%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
