Monitor disasemble (updated)

I was wondering if anyone has ripped apart a 19" lcd before and actually used it apart.

What i want to know is if there is a way that i can run my three 19" lcd's side by side without any bezel around the screen.
I want to do away with the black bars between the screens that are in this pic.
Is this doable ? thought id ask before i rip mine apart and wreck it.

I remember seeing a kit somewhere for that type of thing. It was designed for combining two monitors, but I am sure you could just get two and have the middle monitor be lacking both the left and the right bezels. Unfortunately I am not having any luck with Google on this one.

But if you do that that cool stand you have won't work anymore, will it? (You are the one with the triple monitor connecting stand, right?)

Yeah ... don't go ripping apart a good montitor or your new ones !!!
When you mentioned this in another thread I thought you would be giving it a try on an old unwanted screen.

DONT DO IT MAN!

Have you tried the 19" BenQ's have REALLY small bevels.
http://www.benq.com/products/LCD/?product=593&page=gallery

Thier bevels are 16.85mm wide.

OR:

I tell yer what. How about we do a deal. My huge 20", SEEMLESS widescreen discplay for your display. What a bargain! Only cause were best mates.

Good work and everything but err isn't there still a bevel round it now? What have you achieved lol. I don't understand.

1/4" bezel around the screen is much better than a full inch especially when you double that when they are together

Looks promising, can't wait to see your mounted shots. You might start a trend.

paint/cover the silver bezels between the monitors black would be less distracting than silver shinny bezels... just a suggestion.

It looks has though you could overlap the small bezel quite easily aswell

sizerkozak · Post by **sizerkozak** » 27 Jan 2007, 02:59

Here are a few pics

I still have to remove everything and finalize it all, add the LED's and clean up the paint and trim.

Ooooh, pretty...

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 27 Jan 2007, 09:37

Wow ... your doing a great job ... 8)
So how big are the gaps between the screens now ?

JohnnyWakko · Post by **JohnnyWakko** » 27 Jan 2007, 09:40

Oh my gosh, that is RED HOT!

Can you take some close ups of what you put on the front and how you attached them? Is it perspex?

Hey Paddy,

The gap is now 5/8" ....much better than the full 2 inches !

once i add the LED's so that the edge of the acrylic glows it should look much better

I still have the back of the unit to work on...clean it up...paint some pieces and replace the metal cover with acrlic.

Sure i can take some close up...once i mount the LED's there will be more close up pics....

perspex ?

Umm...not sure what that is...lol...but im using 3/8" acrylic for the screen shield/mount and 1/2" acrylic for the support pieces on the back
