I have 3 XL2420Z. The bezels are relatively thick. If I align the panels flush together, the resulting column is hiding a pretty big chunk. (130 pixels). I've seen and people told me to put the side panels behind the central one, but when I do that I get wild differences in parallax for everything that is not at eye level. It's extremely distracting. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

When sitting in my chair, the parallax is very noticeable, but when sitting far away, it's negligible, and the thinner columns are perfect for watching a movie or something

I have tried that too and the depth difference in the monitors completely ruins it - I'd rather have the wider bezels.

I actually have my outside monitors on top of the center monitor slightly. This works for me since I keep my monitors at a slightly sharper angle than most people.

Always bezel compensation or bezel removal.

I just tried putting the side panels on top. Not helping. The bezels on the BenQ are really deep, as much as they are wide. They're practically square.

I might try modding them, theses are the new ones where the VESA mount are actually in the metal frame and not the plastic cover. Not sure how I'm gonna reconciliate the buttons which are all on the bezel. Those are not my final screens anmyway, I just jumped on them cause they had a great package deal.

If I ever mod them I'm gonna try recording the process, cause I can't find anything on the internet.

Here is a video we did on a Dell U2211H, but the process should be similar. I think it talks about using some sort of electrical tape to mount the buttons behind the screen.
