FREE: DIY Bezel Free Triple Screen setup Sim Racing
In this video I'm showing you how I made my own bezel free kit from an old monitor/tv.
Very simple way to make the bezels on your triple monitor setup hidden using the transparent themoplastic film inside an old tv or monitor!

I discovered the film when a friend accidentally broke my monitor we started plying with it and wrapped it around our heads and it makes your perception as if you were drunk stumbling about. When I saw the rog one for 100$ I immediately saw how much of a scam it was

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Always makes me happy when i see other men who can DO things like this. Well done.

[@SackyX]

Good video and knowledge, I bought them but one started cracking and couldn't see myself buying another pair. Plenty of broken monitors around. Good one dude.

[@meyogy2414]

Thank you. I spent way too long playing with the polarised layers thinking it doesn't work... kept digging and ahhh yes theres the clear film that distorts everything

[@rotorryder]

Love what you have done. Any additional things you can add will be greatly appreciated.

[@tangosucka8526]

Great work Mate! Fantastic job 👍🏼

[@GreenLeoMan]

Ty. This is what I've been looking for. Cheap bezel delete. Subbed!👍

[@RyderTech]

Thanks i appreciate it!!

[@OldLadyGamersince1990]

At first I thought it was a clickbait but not. Great work sir!

[@RyderTech]

Thank you!

[@auzzyboy276]

Nice! Im gunna head down the local tip and find an old thrown away tv/monitor. Thanks for the tutorial 😀

[@RyderTech]

Welcome!

[@elvish4432]

Man very cool - very appreciated for diy Thanx ✌️ Happy racing - sweet rig set up

[@RyderTech]

Welcome I appreciate it!!

aaannd subbed this is so awesome. Seeing... finally a purpose for my old 720p TV ... awesome Stuff

[@RyderTech]

Thank you! much appreciated!

so helpful, thank u 🙏

[@mementomori4972]

So I went on marketplace and bought an old 4/3 monitor for 25 Bucks. I went to pick it up, which took me an hour. When I disassembled it I saw that I don't have separate foils but a fused sandwich of layers, glued together. I tried to separate them, which just destroyed the layers. That costed me 25 bucks and about two hours of my time. underneath this sandwich is a foil but it doesn't look like what you have in your video. Its milky white and it doesn't hide the bazels at all

[@okami803]

Thanks so much dude

[@GiulianoAlmeida]

Nice! thx for share :)

[@Odysseus38]

Hey....thats pretty good

[@vincenttwisker9656]

I have just taken apart a secondhand samsung 37" LCD TV because I wanted to try this on my triple 65" setup. Unfortunately there where only 3 white opaque sheets, not the lense sheet that is required... bummer

[@masjter]

We love you Ryder

[@RyderTech]

Appreciate that!

[@wardope]

the Logitec G25 or G27 are a nice wheel. had mine for ages recently upgraded to a Direct Drive wheel.

[@RyderTech]

the want for a direct driver wheel is bad right now lol which one did you go with?

[@Chitown388]

wondering why the strip was cut to 3 inches wide. was the strip mounted flush against the screen?

[@HookerHeels]

Ya know, while not perfect, and not quite as nice as Asus' kit, these are absolutely amazing for free. I know the Asus kit requires 120* angle, do you think this would work on a way less angled settup? I only have two, 32" curved monitors, so a big, sharpe angle like 120* is.. not pleasing. They are maybe at saayyy, 3-5*?

[@AlexSmileAmundsen]

Does every tv have the layers ? Or only lcd?

[@gamingwolf7914]

Great vidéo ❤

[@RyderTech]

Thank you!!

[@TheJestaking]

Thnx

[@kyleshepherdmusic]

Great vid. Thanks. I'll be trying this. 1 question. Are you side monitors slightly behind the middle monitor at the point where they meet?

[@RyderTech]

Very slightly I have it where the middle monitor edge touches the other screens directly

[@MrScott_e]

I pulled apart a dead 42” LG TV. It had the glass then two layers of what looked like what you have and a thinker whitish plastic backer, the two thin film sheets look promising. Going to give it a try on my triple 55” flight Sim rig. Anything you can add would be appreciated.

[@RyderTech]

yes most will have two of the transparent thermo plactic in them and one hazy film so you should have those 2 to work with you can just hold up that film to your bezels and you'll know how much to use before cutting seem to be best when I had 1.50 inch on both sides of my screens

[@MrScott_e]

@@RyderTech figured I would hold them up next to the bezel first to confirm how best to use them. Cut and adhere with 1/8” wide double sided tape. Excellent!

[@MrScott_e]

@@RyderTech I have the correct side based on how you described it in the video and what I can see from what you showed but when I crease and apply them between the screens i can still see the black bezel. If I flip it over it is obviously clearer so I think I have the correct side. do you apply it firmly against the screen or does it stand off a bit at the bezel? is it possible to send you a few pictures to show you what I have and what I am seeing? Thanks. Scott

[@Chubbza5]

Those clear sheets are called polarizing layers. One will be vertical, the other will be horizontal. You can use either layer, but it will depend on how you cut it out. An easy way to tell is to hold it up in front of something and see if there are duplicates going vertically or horizontally. You want to use the piece that splits things horizontally. Cut vertical strips out of that one. Or horizontal strips out of the other one.

[@MrScott_e]

@@Chubbza5 armed with this new info I will take another stab at it. With 55” screens at a 70/110 angle, and about a 1\2” bezel, is 1.5” the ideal width for the strips?

[@manfredovwales6338]

[@biswajyotidas6236]

This is dream

[@bobwarpath2395]

Pulled apart a samsung monitor and it didn't have any :(

[@triponthemoon233]

I did this too, but it really bothered me. the dark sharp bar disappears, but you get a much wider darker visible bar, not to mention it's really bad to use on the main screen

[@tristan_ln4]

try sticking white tape to the bezels because white reflects light but black doesn’t

[@GTE_Ams442]

Is there an specific type of screen we need? Like led, OLED, plasma, LCD? Thanks!!

[@awesomeoberks]

Did you find out this one?

[@5speedsimracer]

I'm planning on buying 3 27" monitors for sim racing soon and I was just wondering if you could tell me the distance between your left and right screens at the wide part just so I have a good starting point when I go to adjust it

[@RyderTech]

So from left bezel to right bezel roughly 56” and roughly have a 45 degree angle on the monitors

[@5speedsimracer]

@@RyderTech Thank you very much!! Awesome video also!

[@RyderTech]

I appreciate that!!

[@killaatryce]

@@RyderTech this is a common mistake. look up CORRECT FOV on google and do the actual math. you will have a way better experience. my triple 32" are 64cm my eye to center screen. As close as possible to the backside of my g923 wheel. this determines the angle you want so my side monitors are at 57 degrees. makes them 63 inches wide. My FOV is 34 degress Here are the actual calculations you want to make... FOV = 2 x {invTan x [(ScreenHeight ÷ 2) ÷ ViewingDistance]} ScreenAngle = 2 x {invTan x [FullDeviceWidth ÷ (2 x ViewingDistance)]}

[@lugs118]

Is this mainly a content creator thing? When racing with triples I hardly notice the bezels. The way the camera captures it can be quite different to the eyes so I’m interested in how you think it looks in real life compared to in the video?

[@RyderTech]

I think it does help with immersion. But after awhile of racing I forget about the lines as well

[@nmelol]

I think once you race you will not even think or notice bezels at all.

[@VersatileVillains]

I know this video about a year old of writing this but ill try to find a free tv to tear apart to try this with my setup. Im not trying to spend 100$+ on the bezel kits

[@RyderTech]

I know the bezel kits are too expensive unfortunately for what they are. Good luck

[@paky8787]

great video brother, how many centimeters should be wide?

[@RyderTech]

I did 3 inches wide which is 7.6 centimeters. Thank you!!!

[@BjornHarmsRC]

nice DIY. If you dont mind me asking. How do you call that film you use? Link where to get? Thanks for the clip....liked! :)

[@RyderTech]

It’s called PET thermoplastic only problem I haven’t found it for sale that is flexible to my knowledge I’ll continue to look though!!

[@BjornHarmsRC]

@@RyderTech so its just a hard plastic? Cant you heat it up to bend?

[@RyderTech]

Yes the ones I have found on Amazon are I’m just not sure if heat would put any discoloration in the material

[@willyweston4834]

Hello, please I need your help with my triple screen. I have an Nvidia Rtx 3080Ti graphics card so 1 HDMI and 3 displayports. I am above all a gamer so I plan to put HDMI on my 65 inch TV for my action adventure games. Then my 3 displayports on my triple screen for SimRacing. My question is if I can have a two main screen (my 65 screen for my action adventure games and the middle screen of my triple screen as a second main screen) I took a long time in order to explain it better, please help me if there is a solution for me. Sincerely

[@RyderTech]

Can’t have two main screens but you don’t need to. What I personally would do is have the 65” the main and then setup the middle triple be the next one. So the racing games you play you can set that middle screen to be the “main” once you start that particular game up. It’s a little tedious at first start up for each racing game you play but once you have the settings saved it’ll be fine. I hope this helps!

[@willyweston4834]

 so can I make my middle screen the main screen in the racing game settings ? And that’s how, because I can’t find it. Many thanks for your help

[@RyderTech]

@willyweston4834 go to graphic settings inside game and should be under monitor settings tab near resolution setting. Hard to explain over text hope this helps

[@mulltit.assking]

Would a cracked screen affect these plastic layers?

[@RyderTech]

Maybe not every plastic layer and maybe if the crack is in one part of the screen there would be enough to make some work

[@themadnes5413]

i got an older 50"inch 1080p TV, it should work with that? Was from a friend, whos child shoot a nerf gun at it and it cracked :D

[@RyderTech]

Lol that’s one way to break a tv and most older tv’s have it like the one in this video probably 14 year old tv or more

[@hamdanputra20]

You use 32" monitor or 27" monitor sir?

27”

19” element electrics 720p lcd 2009 model….it doesn’t exist anymore that’s why I didn’t post it

[@jason52973]

Why would you do this? The tape and adhesives are more visible than your bezels were.

[@RyderTech]

In person while racing no not at all compared to the black lines…now looking at it through the video I understand it doesn’t look like it’s worth it but when your up close to the screens racing it’s a must

[@HavokBWR]

always gonna be haters

[@HavokBWR]

Freakin LOVE you dude! I remember when these things came on the market, but they were too small and way too expensive and I remember thinking "There has got to be a way to easily replicate this with like for like no money, just need to wait on someone to figure it out". Im trying to make a virtual window with 3 50" tvs (just need 1 more) and this would work so nicely :D Whats the widest angle you can get with between monitors?

[@RyderTech]

Thanks!!! And as for the widest angle I’m not sure but what I would do is before you cut any strips hold the film up to the corner and see how far you can get away with but I would think around 2 inches and the farther away the film is to the screens more it will cover but you’ll see the limit so you might have to play with it a bit
