Corsair’s PC-dockable screen helped me monitor my PC components and news feeds

Finding a cheap secondary PC monitor is pretty easy. But if you want one that looks good, is built well, and is easily customizable, you won’t find those qualities in a budget screen from a no-name brand on Amazon.

Corsair first announced the Xeneon Edge at the CES trade show in January. It’s a 5-point capacitive touchscreen that can live on your desk and serve as a secondary computer monitor. If you’re feeling fun, you can download Corsair’s iCUE software to use customizable widgets for displaying things like CPU temperature and usage, the time and date, and media playing. More adventurous users can attach the screen onto their desktop PC’s fan mounts or side panel.
