When EyeFinity and NVIDIA Surround first hit the market we were promised LCDs specifically designed to have tiny bezels so that your multiple monitor gaming experience would be enhanced.

Looking at the before/after
Looking at the before/after pictures, it really doesnt look like it “closed the gap” all that much. Would like to see a ruler to compare, or at least some scale…. or just to see it in person.
Yeah I was thinking the same,
Yeah I was thinking the same, it more made the bezels squarer so they fit together better, but i wouldn’t really say that the screens were much closer.
Plus the black bezel is much less obtrusive and easier for your mind to ignore. Maybe painting them black would look better.
