Hello,

With all the changes in LDC monitors these days, I am yet to find a later model LCD monitor that has nice thin bezel edges. I have done a lot of searching but just can't seem to get any joy.

Does anyone have any suggestions from the latest list of LCD monitors on the market at the moment? I am more of a Samsung fan but I will settle for anything that has nice thin bezel.

Leethyl

If I had the money, I would get the Samsung MD230...

Or if you are brave, you can try some bezel modding (remove the plastic)

Do what I did and buy LED monitors. They are thin enough to overlap the bezels.

(2 months ago)
My Hubby wanted to try Eyefinity his Gaming PC has 2x5870 CrossFire ATI's which he reads is the best Eyefinity setup.
I have 5970 ATI and wasn't sure I wanted to go Eyefintiy just yet till I saw it for myself. We talked it over and he took my Samsung 2493HM 1920x1200 to pair with His own 2493HM and bought a Samsung 2443BWT-1 for his center monitor.

(2493HM have 1/2" Bezel Flat Black Frames no longer being sold any place)

I was WOW'd with how it looked and played. So I began to searched alot of brands looking for thin bezels I tend to buy LG's and Samsungs. My 2nd PC next to me has a more current 24" 1920x1080 LG bezel is more than 1/2" way Fat and Glossy Frame. I wanted to stay with 1920x1200 just looks more correct to me.

I considered the ASUS VW266H 25.5 1920x1200 (Glossy Black Frame) which I've seen in alot of YouTube videos feature Eyefinity with these monitors.
However I saw them at a local FRY's Electronics store and the bezels were to Fat looking to me!

So I went for 3xSamsung 2443BWT-1 (Flat Black frame which I prefer!) (the center monitor my hubby got)
I'm very glad I did :) my 5970 ATI Eyefinity is wonderful.
I would recommend this monitor for thinnest bezel in 1920x1200

Modded the bezels between screens (1 on right and left, and 2 on middle), made it thin and nice, only the aluminium band that holds monitor layers together between =)

I rock the Chimei 24EH's - 23.6" TN 1920x1080 Panel, not a bad monitor other than the fact that the input's are HDMI only, just using DVI to HDMI adapters.

I've bought 3 of those Benq G2420HDBL, true 24", VGA and DVI inputs (no HDMI), 1920x1080, LED (24w max power consumption!!!) and a thin bezel. Price is around €189 each, it's a great deal.

if you remove the plastic monitor housing, you will have extremely tiny bezels. just be careful when you are taking them apart.

My old monitor had 13 mm bezels but when I went Eyefinity, I prioritized the ability of rotation and also affordability. I ended up with 25 mm bezels on my three new LGs. I'm kinda bummed out by this, but it's still awesome.
