Wow excellent mod. I wonder how much space my mons would gain. I just measured and the total gap is just 1". I'd love a full tutorial if you have the time. Great work!

Yes sir...if i understand your question correctly...

i did this mod so that should i need to return one of the monitors for warranty reasons i can reverse the process and put it back to its original condition.

I see your monitors are attached to eachother at an angle. Do you think it would be ok to slide the remaining non-screen parts over eachother to make them even smaller?

Its made from acrylic and its used to hold the screens on and to protect them as well...screens press tightly agiants it and with a 1/2" thick acrylic pieces mounted behind the screens bolted to the front of the acrylic...i can do some close up pictures when ur ready to do your mod if you like

"Perspex must ba a europian thing...never heard of it before"

Thanks for the offer..

I will have to see once I get the monitors apart I may do a bit of a diffrent approach with a frame.

The "Perspex" (Trade name really , my bad should say acrylic) Does look good though. Do you get any glare / reflection from it???

Thanks for the response. Hope to do mine very soon (need 1 more LCD first :roll: )

I would really like to see or read some more details on how you attached the acrylic to the monitors.

The Led's arrived...so ill mount those and take some more pics for you... i might do a little DIY monitor mods once i have all the mods complete and once i have some vista issues ironed out

holy pants that's incredible! I can kind of see how you've done it, it's simple but smart. My screens are wall mounted at the moment, they move independantly but I'd be up for doing something like this if you give us a little guide!

Is it possible to take OFF the metal surrounding off of the LCD and then try to get a "SEEMLESS" display, I am going to try to find like a 15 inch LCD that is going bad, and disect it, but if I am going to take it all apart, I want to go for SEEMLESS :P... I know you probably don't want to try it with your LCD's since if something goes wrong, its quite a bit of money lost, but if anyone else out there knows more about it , please let me in, I know generally how an LCD works but I am by no means an engineer. I figure is they can make that LCD Seemless for 15k why can't I do it for FREE :P, what makes their solution so expensive?

pyro099 · Post by **pyro099** » 16 Feb 2007, 06:47

if you figure that one out, it would be amazing!

but i think the seamless LCDs are specially manufactured thats why they cost 15K(i think the electric connection are on the side of the monitor but in the seamless are run through the back)

BUT i am pulling for you!

I'm fairly positive that no conventional lcd can physically have 'no' bezel, and that there needs to be things on the sides that are required. However it won't be too long before the OLED displays are on the commercial market, and they definitely don't need to have a bezel, so I think in the next few years (although more likely >5) we'll see some great surround setups! Take a look at this concept laptop by LG, it uses 2 OLED displays (the bottom is a touch pad) and the liquid fuel is pretty funky

Guys,,,,there is no way of getting around the "bezel" even without the bezel there is still 1/4" of dead space at the edge...the bezel is required to keep the acrylic sheets and plastics together and to hold the tube and wire that runs along two sides.

i tried everything i could...i even trashed a brand new 19"lcd in the process

Richy · Post by **Richy** » 16 Feb 2007, 23:47

balls, was it easy to accidentally trash a 19"? Show us the LED goodness! I have 6 blue cold cathodes lying around...

sizerkozak , did you take any pictures of the LCD's disasembled "beyond" the bezels. I really would like to know what it looks like.
