In recent years Corsair has diversified their PC hardware offerings, starting off as a memory manufacturer to become a juggernaut that manufacturers, cases, coolers, keyboards, mice and even complete systems. 

Now it looks like Corsair's plans to enter the monitor market are closer than ever, with the company requesting feedback on how they use their PC's monitors. 

Back in 2018. Corsair requested job applications on indeed for the role of Monitor Product Manager. This job listing called for individuals who could define a gaming display roadmap for the company, develop competitive products, define feature sets by analysing market trends, and are willing to travel and has at least five years of experience in marketing for both consumer and gaming products. 

In their monitor survey, Corsair asks what their fanbase's prefered monitor panel type is (TN, IPS, VA, OLED etc), the size and number of screens they use and whether or not they utilise VESA monitor mounts, monitor mounted headset stands or other advanced features. Clearly, Corsair wants to know what PC gamers look for in a new monitor. 

At this time it is hard to tell how far Corsair's display plans have progressed, but it seems like the company is still a long way from producing its own gaming monitors. 
 
I am looking forward to the day when Corsair makes a large gaming monitor. I would want one.

    I wonder if they'll put LEDs on the front, like in the April fools day joke? Gog took there game Launcher-Launcher April fools day joke and went with it, so they may as well take their own and make a B11 nd monitor

    monitor quality & Mfg reputation go hand in hand ... hard market for a Corsair White box ... unless they want to mention who makes it - IMO

    So.. will they put out something awesome, or just another of the same tired panels with bleed and glow issues, but some fancy plastic surround and stand that somehow is supposed to make it 'better'. I'm guessing the latter, since Corsair will not be making panels themselves.
     
    I'm still waiting for a decent new panel ...it's been a few years now.

    So hard to find a proper monitor that combines image quality with 120-144hz refresh that is >1440p and 30-34". Some decent VA panels are showing up but nothing in IPS yet. 


    Have water, will cool.

    If they are going for a ground up build of a monitor I am sure we would have heard something by now. So I feel it's safe to say they are going to be buying panels from some other company and just adding the stand and a headphone rest with RGB lighting and calling it a day.
