Starting with a look at the design of the Xeneon 27QHD240, Corsair has gone for a slightly different direction compared to its earlier models like the 32QHD165. Gone is the massive, and dare I say garish, stand and instead we have something sleeker, with a metallic v-shape foot that measures 46cm across, while the screen bezels are now barely noticeable on all four sides.
The front is devoid of any branding, save for a very small Corsair logo at the base of the stand. Round the back there are a couple more glossy Corsair sails logos, while the stand is covered with Corsair's signature triangle design accents.
Speaking of the stand, this offers the full array of ergonomic adjustments. That includes up to 100mm of height adjust, 30 degrees of swivel both left and right, tilt from 7 degrees downwards to 15 degrees upwards, and even 90 degree pivot, so you can use this vertically if you want to. Third-party Vesa 100×100 mounts are also supported.
Unlike most monitors which fit the connectors facing downwards, the 27QHD240 has positioned all of its ports right on the back of the screen so they face outwards. They're split into two sections – on the left we find the USB hub, with a USB-C upstream cable and then 4x USB type-A downstreams (5Gbps) as well as an audio jack. On the right hand side we have the power input, a USB-C that offers 65W charging and DP-Alt mode, a full-size DisplayPort 1.4 connector and then 2x HDMI 2.1 ports.
Lastly, on the underside of the front panel, we find three small buttons. One selects the display input, one is a power button, and there's a 5-way joystick used to navigate the OSD.
