LG IPS7 Monitors 1.2mm Bezel - FAKE!!

[Roboto]

Just saw the announcement for these monitors.
No typo. 1.2 mm bezel.
Drool worthy.
Hope they have vesa mounts.

Was planning on making a new thread about the launch of these monitors. Here is a link if anybody wants to get a little more info. The bezel is freaking thin. If the reviews (that aren't online yet) are positive I am planning on buying three. Just not sure if I should go with the 23" or the 27" model.

Wijkert - I think your link may be broken. However, this one works: http://www.cod4boards.com/forum/showthread.php?395524-LG-outs-IPS7-Series-monitors-23-or-27-inch-IPS-minimal-bezel-MHL-mobile-link-8-bi

Also, that's it, I'm selling my monitors! Only shame that these LG's appear to be 60hz!

no Displayport? :( If it had, would be awesome.

Price ? around 300$ i assume...

[Wijkert]

The price of the 23" model will be 180-190 euro's. It seems that they will not be available until the end of august. Very interested in any reviews. If I find any, I will post the links in this thread. Maybe you guys can do the same?

The screen can be tilted which limits adjustability and there is no VESA capability to try to keep things as thin as possible...

Sure, having a super-thin bezel is neat, but what's the big deal if it's a few mm thicker? I don't get it.

[Haldi]

I know... i've got 14mm Bezel! so 28mm in total. and when i'm gaming i don't even see them!

Still, the smaller the better!

But thx for the Link Abram! Its all a Hoax! 1.2mm Bezel? Yeah sure! Outer bezel!



Still around 5mm inner bezel..

its fake, i cant believe lg would pull a huge scam like this, sure the outside bezel that sticks out of the screen is only 1.2 mm however all the pictures you see in articles and on lg's site are FAKE even on the box the picture on the screen looks to be going all the way to the outer bezel wich is only 1.2mm thick, however the real bezel thickness is acturally around 11mm wich is really not that amazing. check this video out and see what i mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS96RjxxU7A
i still cant believe lg would do this |(

Bloody disappointing. They really need to fire their advertising team.
Was really looking forward to them.

[Wijkert]

Very disappointing indeed! Have already ordered 3, but haven't paid yet. After watching the video I am happy that I didn't.
