Small Bezel or Edgeless Monitors & Curved Monitor Decussion

Qu1ckset · Dec 9, 2011

Ok so i have been really looking into eyefinity setup for awhile now but i am seriously turned off by the size of todays current monitors, and have been doing some serious research, and i think im going to wait out on buying 3 monitors because i think Samsung might release edgeless (small bezels) monitors soon like there new smart tv's which i think are sexy.

So i remember hearing about a alienware curved monitor which would be even better then eyefinty due to zero bezels and came to realize that project was scraped but i came across another company make curved monitors which got me excited. the monitor was the Ostendo CDM43

Looks really cool. The main reason why I don't do multiple monitors is because of the bezels. I don't know how some people use it but I don't think I can stand a thick line through my game.

The price is the only downfall of this.

totally agree with you, it would drive my crazy because there so thick at the moment, and the price of that curved monitor is crazy 2grand sounds better to me....

I do not understand how a bezel bothers people the 2 outer screens are ADDITIONAL to what you are seeing on the current screen,, its not limiting you in anyway, its a different aspect ratio not the same image just scaled wider.

edit: only in portrait are they an issue

Obviously. It's the discontinuity of the image that's the issue, not the visibility.

But its an extension to what you have, so you would rather see less then have a bezel then see more with a bezel?

I use a dual monitor setup where I work and its hard to believe but the thick bezels from the 8 year old monitors actually do not bother me. When I stare at the middle of the screens all I see are the two bezels, but for some reason the fact that it is just a continuation of the same image just makes my brain think there is nothing wrong with the fact there are a good 3.5" of bezel blocking my view or something.
It seems very weird but I prefer the dual screens over just one large screen. Something about having just one screen to work in makes me feel kind of claustrophobic in a sense like I just can't get enough space. This is especially true while writing papers for school or programming for class no screen could be large enough it seems like. At school we program on a 30" 2560x1600 monitor and it still isn't large enough for my liking.

Really though, the brain compensates for the bezel and all you see is the image because all you are concentrating on is the center screen. When I game on three monitors I really only notice the bezel when the game is loading. Once fully loaded and I'm in playing it, I don't even notice it is there anymore.

Jinkxed · Dec 10, 2011

I would love to have a monitor from these guys...

9X Media

Then there was this company that isn't around anymore, but they had the idea of a slim bezel several years ago...

Go-L

The 4 panel version "Grand Canyon" was suppose to cost around $17500, so your guess to how much the 5 panel was.

But then I also remember reading something about how that whole company was just a hoax or a scam or something. Real or fake, either way, they were some really cool lookin monitors, lol!

il wait for slim bezel'd monitors

madmax911 · Dec 25, 2011

Im going to get me a tripple setup soon and what makes me wonder is why NO one have taken the time to dissamble the monitors and make a special case for all the panels to fit inside. I mean we have all these insane casemodders out there. Why havent anyone made a tripple screen case?
The bezel on the actual panel is only like 5mm thick max.

LG may have your solution early next year.

27" 120HZ and IPS

Rumors abound that it's 2560x1440, but I have found nothing remotely concrete in that regard and most of it seems more like fan's wet dreams.

If it is though I'll preorder it and a few 7970s XD

eitherway its going to be expensive, i just bought 3 Acer G245H @180 a peace, love the look of the acer monitors may not be the best out there, but really good bang for your buck...

im seriously thinking about getting a 7990... seeing if asus releases a pci 3.0 board for the 1155 sandybridge chips, if not il wait till next gen with a 8990

, my 6990 should hold be off till then, curious if intels 690 if made will be better then the 7990

There can never truly be a edgeless LCD monitor. The liquid crystal panel has to be capped on the end and then communication cables have to be attached. On top of that, some sort of protection has to protect the side of the panel while moving and shipping.

What would you need a "case" for? The gaps between lit pixels on my below setup is the smallest I have seen, 1/4 inch. So there are some of us that "mod":

If you've ever taken an lcd apart, the image actually goes almost to the edge of the panel, so you could theoretically get pretty close. Problem is getting the backlight to work. If I was more interested I might try it

What size screens are those?

CallsignVega · Dec 28, 2011

23" Samsung S23A750D's.

madmax911 · Dec 28, 2011

CallsignVega I am well aware of how they work since im dismantling and reassembling them on a daily basis

Well atleast on notebooks that has been smashed by kids. But you did more than explain to me how it works. You showed me the picture i wanted to see. Now im more interested in knowing how you made the mod?

Drjoey1500 im pretty sure the backlight on LED/LCD panels on monitors today have the same connection as they do on the panels for notebooks. And thats just a slim cable running up the back of the panel to the top. The older panels had an inverter at the bottom that needed to be connected separately.

is that your setup? looks amazing with the bezels removed is the casing just removed and mount the frame to vesa mounts?

I forget if these forums email you for new comments but ...
I totally agree! Two screens helps but you quickly find that limiting and want more. I'm about to put 4 non-similar screens into one "array" just because they're cheap and/or lying around and even if it looks a bit matrix I bet it will help productivity.

Pie in the sky ... The next step is surely have a number of super light, maybe see-through panels that can quickly be moved around your desk/field-of-view to whatever location and orientation you like - maybe using something a bit like those spring-loaded desk lamp arms? Except with a handle on the bezel that unlocks the joints and lets you re-lock them in any spot upon release ... hmmm but then how long before I will want more than that lol
