Thinnest Bezel on LCD for surround gaming

heliocentric · Post by **heliocentric** » 18 Jan 2007, 13:20

Hi All,

New to the forum but from what I have seen looks great! I am looking at an upgrade soon and although I had thought of a 24 WS Ã¢â‚¬â€œ the appeal of the Matrox Triplehead2Go is making me think again as the price difference is not all that great and it looks very immersive!

The main issue I have is the gaps/bezel size between each monitor. I was hoping that some LCD manufacturer might make a LCD (preferably 19Ã¢â‚¬Â

Also ÃƒÂ¯Ã‚Â¿Ã‚Â½ I think Matrox should seriously consider engaging a manufacturer to look at designing a monitor like this ÃƒÂ¯Ã‚Â¿Ã‚Â½ of all my friends I have spoken too ÃƒÂ¯Ã‚Â¿Ã‚Â½ this is the one reason they might be scepticalÃƒÂ¯Ã‚Â¿Ã‚Â½

... this might be worth a read ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/7185

Also look at these poll results (all be it not too many have entered yet) ...
Sure we all want the bezel size to be small as possible but all the people that have a TH2G don't see the bars as a problem ... interesting .... no ?

As for recommendations ... my Dell's are great ... :D

I don't have the THTG or 3 monitors, but the little time i have had gaming on someone elses setup i would have to agree that the bexel size becomes unnoticable after about 30 seconds :) your way too busy on the main screen to be checking out the bezel. Nice dark bezel and a darkened room and you will be fine

Do you have a TH2G ? or experience of using a TH setup ?

Thanks all for your responses.

Paddy - I had actually seen this poll and it is reassuring to some extent but as you said - still not that many responses.

I guess I really need to get some experience first so I know for sure how much I will be annoyed by it. Pitty there is no demo in Melbourne Aus :wink:

I'll see how I go and let you all know once I decide (might be a month or two).

cheers,
Helio

Have you heard of the Radius320? If you have $15,000 to drop, it might be an option for you :)

For real. The only problem I have with my TH is resolution, and even if I had it I couldn't afford a system cabable of driving it.

the radius is a waste in my opinion. with 15k one can buy 3 super LCD's and custom fit them with no bezzel and you'll still have money to spend on other stuff.

to the question, i got acer's i found them to have the thinest bezzels of all the models that were in compusa

I'd say waste is an understatement, if I had 15k to burn on a display setup I'd make it 1080p projector and screen for 120"+ screen.

Ideas???

Thanks!
Helio.

Welcome to the forums.

I have three of the 1990FXps. The bezel is 6.9mm, you won't absoluetly won't notice the bezels while gaming, at least in FPSs. Somtimes i notice them a little bit when watching movies.

image quality is superb, however i've had some problems with one of the monitors.
