How much extra would you pay for thin bezels?

[Sardis]

It's poll time! I just acquired two Korean PLS monitors to add to the IPS one I already had for some insane surround action but looking at the thick bezels made me sad :( , which made me wonder "How much are you guys willing to pay extra for a tiny bezel?" It seems like manufacturers are obsessed with making them thinner sideways which doesn't help us, heck I'd be fine with a 6 inch thick monitor if it had 1mm bezels!  :D

I would like to have thin bezels as they look sweet but i don't care for multi monitor setups so it isn't important to me. 

 

Manufactures are useless at making thin bezels anyway. Even when they do make a really thin bezel you can't fully utilize the full screen area resulting in same problem as large bezel. 

 

 

 

Pointless!!!!!

If there are other manufactures making "actual" thin bezels then that may be worth but this shit ain't.

I wouldn't pay over $50. I don't mind them that much as I only game on a single monitor. The other monitor comes into use only when I'm programming.

Manufacturers would need to charge more for less or no bezels since there is a higher risk of damaging the panel.

I saw this monitor the other day and it looks like it could be a winner:

but also might be false advertising like the others we've seen. Looking on LG's product page or on google image search I can't find a real life photo of it at all.

Hopefully we won't be dissapointed!

I am not very interested in eyefinity, so I don'T really care, for a 2 monitor setup that isn't for gaming, it doesn't really matter. But for an eyefinity setup, I would pay extra.

For those that want to game in surround, thick bezels really break the immersion it gives you except maybe on racing games where you can just make yourself believe the bezels are park of the vehicle.

I mean in all reality you could just remove the bezel I was "trying" to fix a monitor (it had something like a frequency interference running though it) and when I took the bezel off the monitor was quite thin. I even kind of liked the gray mettle look that the "new bezel" had. If you didn't like it you could just paint it or you could fabricate your own bezel if you were so inclined. Something like brushed Aluminum that runs just over the gray suport brace for the panel

If you want to void the warranty, technically you can. On displays with glass screens, you will find it much more challenging to take it the bezels off.

True I had not taking into account those points. But on the few monitors I have taken a part there would be no way of telling that you had taken the bezel off. However, they were some older Dell ones. I agree with you I would not want to void my warranty on a high end monitor.

You'd be surprised at how some manufacturers are very crafty in hiding the warranty seals on their products.
