appraiserfl Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Always in the search for greater immersion with my OFF and inspired by the creative bastards on this forum, I decided to rip the bezels off of my three dell 2007fps and mount them to a big triple mount stand! The result is spectacular! Who would of thought triple screening could get better! Here is a After Shot Here is a before shot After shot The amount of bezel space saved! Heres the monitor sitting in his house after I removed the bezel front Quote

Rickitycrate Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 When flying OFF it might be nice if the monitors had a woodgrain bit of frame so as to look like struts. It almost does already in one of the pics. Quote
appraiserfl Posted March 6, 2010 Author Posted March 6, 2010 Don't wish to rain on anyone's parade. However that was the width bezel used on the newer monitors, give or take a mm I'll continue soldiering on with my single 22 Thank You The Dream System is still run by Morris: Featuring 3X 24 inchers Um, no. You can see in the shot how much bezel space was removed and per my bezel management program I have shaved 200 virtual black resolution spaces off my tally. Also, the newer Samsung Thin Bezel monitors cost you $1,800 for three and I built these for just over $400. As an added benefit, I no longer have to stare at "Dell," three times in my face. Trust me Unleal, if you played on my system I would have to beat you with a club to make you leave it, lol. Quote

Have you thought about overlapping the inner bevels- i.e bringing the center monitor fwd and having the two outer ones underlap behind - it does depend on the thickness of the panel though.

Cheers WM Its called pick your poison. I tried that, but I did not like the staggered depths of the screens, but if you can tolerate that then you have a bezel gap of less than 1/2 inch! Im pleased with this, this will hold me over until we get real bezeless displays. Remember on a single monitor you have nothing on the other side of those bezels!

appraiserfl Posted March 6, 2010 Author Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) No doubt . . I can rationalize the high price, what I lack is the space for 3 screens. If I knock down a wall or two, perhaps then. Or maybe sell my kids as slaves. By Jove . . .That's it . . .Not only could it lessen the financial impact, but I could use my son's room for setup Now if I can just sell my wife on the idea SUGGESTIONS ??? I come from a family of five kids, we weren't sold as slaves, we were used as slaves The base of the triple mount only takes up the footprint of one screen, the other two hover, so those with limited desk real estate I suggest the triple mounts! But the triple mount is pricey, mine cost $300 which is almost what my monitors cost, but I can use this mount forever so it will pay for itself in the end. I work out of home on the computer and I need three screens for all my work apps, its just an added benefit that I can use it for OFF So the only way I can see subverting SWAMBO is to justify it as a business cost! OH and what I am really waiting for is PLP setups to be supported so I can rotate my two 20's to the side and put my 30" in the middle (remove its bezels too of course) and then have the full chabang!

appraiserfl Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Here's a solution for you: http://gizmodo.com/3...-another-planet Tony Hey Typhoon, seen that before and it is a joke. Its resolution is only 2880x900 (mine is 4800x1200) and it costs over $8,000 US (my monitors cost $125 US each). Quote
