I can now add my 2 cents worth

I found it difficult to find a monitor that had a small bezel size.
Considering i had to buy three monitors price was an issue at this point in my build...maybe later i can get something with smaller bezels..all those these arent to bad i guess.

( man do i love game play now...hope it doesn't make me feel nausious )

LG L1919S 1400:1 8ms
3/4" bezel all four sides

Some day i will find a better solution...hmmm...now that i think about it maybe i could pull a spare 19" lcd apart and see if there is a way to work them without a case ??????

heres a pic

I voted that I dont really notice it anymore. Its still there, but when gaming i concentrate on the center, and the surround is just immersion. Depends on the game, i guess.

I have CRTs so i get about 2 inch gap between screens. However, I have a solution to make it all go away... Fresnel Lenses. Once my gaming pit is done, i'll show you guys how it turned out.

For you guys with LCDs thinking about stripping the bezels, look around the DIY projector sites. I know I read about people doing it on some of the projector forums. Try http://www.lumenlab.com You should be able to dig up some instructions, examples, etc.

Sometimes I'll do work on large graphics files or some other thing that suits itself to being spanned across more than one mointor, and those bezels can really be a pain on the desktop. A have 21" CRTs, so the bezel gap is quite large for me.

I don't have experience of a TH2G but I think I would get used to them and they would not be a problem ...

Did some dualhead gaming with my tv, but it was anoying that they were not equaly in size, but for background work or windows it is great. The only option i did miss was if i get in a game with 1 monitor with a other resolution, that the other resolution did move to the other screen (a bit). And the not so good part when youre gaming to get to the other desktop.
