BEZEL FREE with 65 INCH SCREENS!

We've been getting smashed with questions for the last few weeks about how we managed to make our 65 inch 4K screens Bezel Free.
Asus sells a kit for smaller screens to achieve this effect, but it it's advertised as only being suitable for screens up to 27 inches, so in today's video I'll run you through how we combined two kits to work with our 65 inch screens with surprisingly good results.
NOTE: Attempt this at your own risk. Using adhesive to attach things to your screens is not something to be complacent about and there's no guarantees the panels won't be damaged over time.

[@jasonking1284]

Initially I thought you were sitting in a real manufacturer simulator. It looks so real.

[@garyking6365]

Don't use the double back tape. It can come off your screen okay but it does not come off the plastic of the bezel free kit very easily. And if you rub it with anything the plastic scratches easily. To hold the plastic strip into your screen, I used fishing line from top to bottom. Just one piece of clear small diameter anchored at the top and at the bottom holds the strip down onto your screen.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

When I finally start my build this year I will be using your channel to help. This is awesome.

I really love the bezel free kit. Using it on my own rig and I love how they just add a little bit of extra immersion.

[@semiterminaal]

Thanks for sharing your experience, Will. But I honestly think thin bezels are less distracting than some stuff taped to a monitor.

[@boostedmedia]

Neither is perfect, but this looks a lot better for content creation. If it were just for me I wouldn't have bothered as the bezels don't bother me either.

[@revarchitect]

[@LightYearsAhead]

I have an idea for people who don't want to risk damaging screens, why not use the ROG clips on a camera stand from the floor. of course you would need to attach the strips together and figure out how to attach the ROG clip on a camera mount. This solution would probably work great on screens bigger than 27" and smaller than 65"

[@TrentDyrsmid]

Being as this was a year ago, what monitors would you purchase today? Thanks for all your wonderful content. I’ve really enjoyed watching your channel grow. You deserve it, mate!

[@pmm4177]

I'd almost be willing to bet those are similar to the plastic screens on old projection tvs, having said that you should be able to cast them in silicone to make a mold then cast in clean resin to make a copy. Evan and Kaitlyn do something similar with a weird holographic plastic film and the resin captured the surface detail and it worked

[@styxxtheanimal5720]

Would be great of Asus, having made the 43" screens, to make a bezel kit for them too!!!

[@joachimvenaas]

This is quite easy to DIY. You only need a LCD TV (preferably broken) and take out the prism sheet and cut to length

[@micahpowers2614]

Im kind of surprised that there isnt monitors specifically made for sim racing triple screen set ups that are bezel free yet, or super narrow bezels.

[@costafilh0]

MicroLED. Literally cost a fortune.

[@2ndLastJedi]

Have you had a go at making your own kits? I just made some from an old 39" LED LCD TV, I made them 4cm wide and could be made in one piece for such big screens.

[@kennyroody]

This was absolutely genius!!!! Copying this project!

[@Sean_Lightning_OBrien]

Hey will, I was just thinking now that you have an RTX 3090 and HP Reverb G2, maybe you could do a video about rhe best VR Sim titles (ACC, Raceroom, iRacing etc).

[@oliver.faerber]

rFactor 2, AMS2, AC and RaceRoom also have a setting for bezel correction. RaceRoom finally has a new settings/triple screen UI which can be enabled with the -webmenu parameter.

[@dudindmitri]

What ASUS use in their BEZEL FREE kit is not their invention(based on my findings). As per my understanding they use Fresnel lens, which is a part of any modern monitor. So all you need to do is to get a faulty TN, VA or IPS monitor and disassemble it (quite easy). I got one from DELL TN monitor and one from old IBM TN monitor and both work the same as ASUS lens. Trying to find the best way to mount those to my monitors. BTW Fresnel lens itself is fun to play with.... try it to achieve 3d effect on lighting objects or logos.

[@merkman2001]

Looks brilliant Will. I think I'd go -13, but that's just me. ;)

[@TougeMaw8671]

Awesome work! Just out of curiosity do you have any idea if the bezel kits would work in a 90degree screen angle? Doing some research before I jump in. Thanks!

[@edteach3r]

Thanks for the review, Will. Looks great, but at $149 Canadian for the kit, I am sticking to my bezeled view.

[@boostedmedia]

The price is pretty extortionate I agree.

[@MarcJMusic]

Screw it! Im doing it. Just with 48" monitrs/tvs though. Got a little time because im waiting for the 5090 for my next build.

[@mipad553]

Can you please check weather this solution works for straight position (not for angle position monitor). tv by bending that sheet?

[@MrBonger88]

Thanks for the tips

[@joechurch5946]

So a trick 2 stick 2 things together. Put blue panters tape on both things you want togeather and put a few drops of super glue on one side and put them together. Super thin. Strong and only blue painters tape stuck to your monitor

[@boostedmedia]

Its a good idea, but 2 problems..... 1 - Superglue has a habit of leaving behind horible white residue on surrounding areas as it cures. 2 - It will still need to be stuck on to the screen as it will bow away and runi the effect towards the middle.

why not glue the 2 refractors together with epoxy, acrylic glue or even just clear tape, using a flat surface to get the perfect alignment, then a little clear tape to hold It to the screen?

[@fctoashton]

Will, question. Did you try using nvidia screen settings to see if you can change its alignment pattern to make up for the bezel correction? With a negative number it makes me think the bezel correction was expecting there to be misalignment in the screen from the start. Just an idea.

[@boostedmedia]

No you’d need to be able to put a negative value in surround, which it doesn’t allow.

But then you don't really get the "wrap-around" feeling which adds immersion no single monitor could provide, since it makes you really feel part of the game instead of being distanced from it

It is called lenticular lens, a bit different than fresnel. But yes, you had the right idea. Fresnel is a flat focusing lens and is shaped a bit differently than lenticular lens. Trading cards in 90s and early 00s had lenticular lens on top to create that 3D effect etc. Whereas fresnel lens is usually used as a substitute for a glass lens where the cost of the real lens would be too high.

[@nomadman5288]

What if you cut each end of the two pieces so that they fit together like a puzzle, glue the pieces together where they connect and then either use the clips or rig something to hold them in place at the top and bottom. This would completely remove the need for sticking anything to your screens. You'd obviously be taking a risk with the bezel free kit, but better to ruin that than the monitor. You could just make something to trace over/around so that the cuts would line up. Or maybe the two pieces are thick enough that you wouldn't even need to fit them together and could just use a strong adhesive to combine them into one big piece.
