I have been trying to get hold of an Asus Bezel free kit for quite some time and when my good friend Terry at / vibemotorsports said he had one for sale I jumped on it.
For what you get its extremely expensive, but if bezels bother you then this could be right up your street. Of course, that's if you can ever get hold of a set!

Make sure you have any bezel correction in surround set to 0. It looks much better in games that allow you to set a negative value for bezel correction (basically everything besides iRacing). Value for money wise, I agree with you. I wouldn't have bought them if it wasn't for content creation as the bezels don't bother me when driving either.

@aqulex84 3 года назад

Using it for like over 7 month now and it's just awesome. Love it so much

@pauldinardi9457 3 года назад

Great video as usual Dave, I've run these for about 6 months, I can't imagine not having them. I'm running them on 3 32's with 3d printed extentions, but to all the haters, and the 2 guys that down voted your video, the key with these is your monitors need to be lined up perfectly, no gaps and top and bottoms on adjoining monitors need to be dead on. Once that's achieved, and your angle is in the 120-130 range, iRacing allows you to go to zero bezel adjustment, and titles like AC-ACC allow a negative adjustment for even better seemlessnes. $120 pounds is steep, actually $109 US. But, here is the thing, Using these on larger then designed monitors, I've gone through different mounting types, tape, materials....and in changing out to 3dprinted mounts, I've had to handle these quite a bit, there is actually a lot of engineering going in with these plastic strips, they have fine vertical cuts in them, and thats the magic, those cuts refract the image behind it to fool your eye into thinking it's a seemlessnes screen, and the more you use it, the more you will appreciate it. Personally, I think it's well worth $109, and it's also perfect for 3 screen sim rigs, having said that, they are not great, if you are just using them outside of gaming, they cause a ghost effect for anything located behind them, such as things on a task bar etc. All in all, if people don't like them for their 3 screen rigs, they probably didn't take the time to set them up right.

@oktc68 3 года назад

@petrstepancik9168 3 года назад

As a long time ROG bezel kit user I miss really important instruction here. YOU NEED TO ALIGN YOUR MONITORS into perfect positions first, which I don´t see in your case Dave. When I see how side monitor is off the line with center monitor it is almost impossible to make perfect screen with this kit. So, my advice for anyone here is get your monitors into perfect positions first. highly recommend Simlab vario vesa monitor mounts - they are perfect. Then you can start to install bezel kit and tweak the settings in the games.

@callummooney3317 3 года назад

not sure if you did this dave but i think adjusting bezel width in iracing settings can line up the display better so that they match with no step in the display

@doug_vickers 3 года назад

Nice informative and honest review video Dave. They are very clever but I doubt I would personally invest in them unless they gave me a real advantage. Not that I need them with my single monitor setup.

Hey buddy, along with the proper angle, you need to level and align your monitors properly for the best effect, especially if you want lines and text to line up properly.

@shodancat1000 3 года назад

dang.. seeing the "first person" view of this sort of monitor setup really shows how massive an advantage a proper triple screen setup gives someone.

@aidenfielding9709 3 года назад

Yeah a large triple screen set up is great if your not a fan of vr

@TechInspected 3 года назад

I think the bezel correction setting on iRacing needs to be negative or something to not have a gap for the bezels. Because essentially it needs to display the pixels beneath the bezels now. That being said, I don't own a bezel free kit or a triple screen. (Maybe will in the future?) So that's just info I've heard from other reviews of the bezel free kit.

The quality of your videos are great and I am just curious on how you manage to get it looking that way!

@CDubLDD 2 года назад

I just ordered these and can’t wait to give them a try. It’s hard to tell from the camera angle, but do you have the sides of the monitors butted up next to each other? Or is the side monitor behind the front one to hide the bezel?

@andr3casas 3 года назад

Maybe changing the in game settings in regards to the bezel correction get you a better result

@Simlife101 2 года назад

Little tip for everyone using this kit, leave a little gap between your side screens and centre screen bezels then if you get the gap right between the screens it lines up perfectly

@leemillican6784 3 года назад

I ended up ordering these from 'Merica and wouldn't be without them now. If you're running bezel correction in Nvidia surround disable it and alter screen settings in game. Ive got AC, ACC, and AMS 2 lined up perfectly. Iracing is a different story, there is no negative bezel adjustment so is slightly misaligned. Not sure if it can be done in the game files though.

You just have to be very careful and i wouldn't recommend buying if anyone needs to keep taking on/off as long as they fitted carefully and left alone you will be fine. I have mine on 32in screens with some 3d printed adapters and work great, one thing i did find is leaving a little gap between the side monitors and the centre i get a lot better picture alignment

had that on my rig for an hour and returned it. i couldn't adjust it in a way lines match. if you look at the air vent on your right hand side - it is one line at a certain angle and this kit divides this into certain angle then different angle (more horizontal) and the again back to cetrain angle... but it's something you either like right away or say "meh". plus there are issues with sharpness and in case you have any kind of gauge/meter there you won't be able to read it (was an issue for me in MSFS2020 especially).

I put them on a long time ago and was not a fan. I run triple 34's and when I use the task bar it's impossible to see setup on either the top or bottom. The sides are so far away on 34's it's just as inconvenient. Also the video is way to muddy for me. It all comes down to person preference in the end. They scratch very easy so be very delicate not to mention over priced.
