LG IPS7 Series

Engadget shows the LG IPS7 series with a 1.2mm bezel - good for 3-monitor gaming!

Will have to see how the IPS panel affects the gaming performance, but the difference between TN and IPS is very subtle from a gaming point of view at the moment is it not?

Here's a more informative article for you that debunks the whole 1.2mm bezel myth and goes a bit further into the specifications - http://pcmonitors.org/lg/lg-ips237l-and-ips277l-ips7-series-monitors. How well it fares in games really depends a lot on the overdrive implementation. LG sometimes claims 5ms but actually doesn't seem to use any real grey to grey acceleration, giving fairly lacklustre gaming performance. A well-tuned IPS panel can compete with 60Hz TN panels with decent grey to grey acceleration in most cases. A bit slower on most pixel transitions and a tiny bit faster in others so it can work pretty decently for gaming.

That's a bit cheeky of them.

It certainly is.

...The monitors actually feature a super-thin outer bezel of around 1mm but also a significantly thicker inner bezel of several metres...

Especially when the inner bezel is several metres. :eek:
