I was curious if anyone had heard of such a thing? I dont know about the rest of you but one of the major turn off's of multiple displays is the fact the bezel of each monitor is abstructing your vision (that and the cost.....). However, since we can get 24'' screens for pretty good prices these days and now the girlfriend has agreed to let me turn the garage into a sort of bachelors pad I want to build a racing rig with tripple screens.

From what I understood, it wasnt possible to do such a thing on LCD's, but could it be done on an LED? Or even, is there any monitors that you guys can think of that have very little bezel (frame) around them?

I would have thought something like it would have been released by now, as good as monitors like apples LED cinenema display look, they do date after a while, I'd love to just have a screen with as little frame as possible.

Anyone know of something in the pipeline, or recommend a monitor with as little bezel as possible?

Thanks very much

My Iiyama monitors only have a 1cm frame, which means a 2cm gap between them which I find is more than acceptable. But I agree with you, would love to have monitors with no frame.

Current 'LED' displays are merely LCD's that are backlit by LEDs.

If you overlap the monitors the gap would be reduced to 1cm. Probably wouldn't work with a dual setup, but a triple setup of large monitors might work.
 
You honesty don't notice the bezels anyway when playing driving sims, the two outer monitors fill your peripheral vision, you are actually concentrating on the centre screen and really don't notice the 'gaps', you just feel immersed because your peripheral vision is being filled.

The bezels really aren't an issue when triple screen gaming.
 
Personally I found very few games worked well with 2 or 3 monitors - the bezel was very distracting.

It would probably look rubbish but you used to be able to get these magnifying screens that you could place infront of TVs to increase the size - with calibration the image would fill it entirely so you could probably jury rig up something with those...

EDIT: Tho from a quick glance it looks like all the ones on sale have bezels, used to be able to get them without.
 
They are not particularly noticeable when using them, i mean at first you do but when your actually playing you just seem to forget.

Getting a projector would be amazing though lol, would have to be HD and have a empty wall to use somewhere :D
 
Hmm if you drive a real car there are allways obstructions to vision, pillars, helmet etc more immersive to have such real issues!
 
If you're in the game with the camera in the car, it makes the pillars for you. :P

I don't game split screen so it doesn't bother me at the moment, but If I did it would because my 28" has massive bezels on it.

I hope one day they can make monitors with little bezels, I think no bezel would just be wierd, but say 5mm would be perfect, then theres a 10mm gap between the viewing areas and when your eyes are at least 2 feet away that'll seem like nothing.
 
like infinity style swimming pool there should be infinity style screens. you dont really need a frame surrounding the image. with bezel-less screens they could be perfectly scalable.. buy 1... save up buy another.. put them together seamless.. buy a 3rd.. and so on. This would even make eyefinity 6 much more feasible. I heard they can seamlessly connect OLED displays together enabling them to create any size they want. but OLED tech is taking is time to hit the mainstream.

but hey tbh if i had the cash.. i would do eyefinity with bezels.. you just get used to it.. for now!
 
I main use by triple screen set up for driving games and the bezels are not noticed when playing. Maybe I spotted them the first 10 min I triple screened for the first time, but not since. Playing FPS and driving sims on a single monitor just seems plain wrong now.
