I would say this needs more work as well. But for simulation racers, imo it works to immerse you in the car you're in just that much more. If you guys are ever looking for new content types sim-racing is blowing up right now ! The equipment is better than ever .
I run triples myself with very slim bezel monitors, this product actually seems to make the experience worse, I am glad I was sceptical of this crap from the start as it clearly is dead on arrival. Why spend $100 to blur your image and make it more distracting??? Not sure of how they thought they'd be able to sell this but it seems like a dead fish in the water to me.
that only works properly you don't have an arm. If you have an arm you can create a weird angle for the left and right monitors. Depending on the space behind the desk it could be impossible. This made me wish there as a way to slide your monitors to the left and right on the arms. then this would work so much better.
They have no bezels because the edges curve backwards so they can hide the bezel at the back. Putting curved edges together could be just as annoying as a small bezel.
It would require the monitors to be OLED to curve it at the edge, which would make each monitor cost over a thousand each as OLED is quite expensive and curving the edge is new technology for monitors.
You guys needes to play with the space in between the monitors in addition to the bezel correction on the computer. The obvious reasons you are losing things at the transition is because it is designed for wider bezel monitors than the ones you used. Add space to simulate a larger bezel and redo the correction on the computer.
About a decade ago I invested completely into triple monitor gaming. I bought three 3D monitors with TN Panels. At the time, VR wasn't a think, 1080p was a pipe dream for consoles, and high refresh rates and good color were mutually exclusive. I would have jumped at the opportunity to purchase this kit back then. Though this was peak gaming immersion at the time, the bezels were massive and nearly drove me to debezel/hardmod my screens. These days, not so much. I still use those same monitors. Haven't upgraded except for the dumpster dive Dell screen I rescued that has the best color of all of my displays. At $110, if I am going to upgrade my gaming experience (which isn't likely these days), I would probably just spend more money and move towards a single ultrawide display, though VR is a close second. Surround/Eyefinity have both caused display issues when not gaming and switching back and forth between triple-monitor modes was a pain, to say nothing of bezel correction issues. With an ultrawide, especially the 32:9 screens now available, and with VR now being affordable thanks to the Oculus Quest/Link, a triple monitor solution with prisms attached is simple too clunky to be practical and worth the asking price. If pressed, I may be convinced $50 is a fair price and I had some money to spare.
@@6Twisted because they are promoting their own monitors??? 1st of all, they can charge you $110 because theres no competition atm. Mousepads are like $40 and its just cloth and rubber. Developing idea takes time and money. Nvidia bumped RTX cards $200 up in price, because they spent few billion dollars developing RTX. Mby you are just too young to understand this.
Multiple screens are great for productivity, and that's where it really changed my life. One screen for youtube videos or streams, another screen for whatever I'm working on at the moment, and another screen for file management to help me with whatever I'm working on at the moment. Niche workflows can benefit from multiple screens a lot as well. Streaming requires 2 screens, 3 or 4 screens is ideal. I have 4, and I sometimes find myself needing more real estate XD
@@BruhBruh-mk5yg not nearly as good for sim racing when you are looking for a large fov... so this is pretty cool for sim racing. ultrawides are just not big enough by themselves
Ultrawides are usually only 2x the size of a normal monitor, if someone needs the real estate that 3 monitors give you, then they would have to purchase two of those, which brings the cost up a lot. You also would then have a bezel in the center of your setup...
Cool, you gonna buy me one? Didn't they just explain it's for people who don't want to spend the money. How much for a decent ultrawide right now, you tell me. What do you do with your triple 1080Ps that are still in great condition? Sell them for a fraction? Break-even after platform fees, shipping, and taxes?
that was honestly a really good all around review and tutorial setup, but if it messes up that mini map that would definitely upset some people. great video!
I like that they're trying to find a solution for this problem. I genuinely think triple sized epic ultrawide monitors are the real solution for people that want this type of setup. These kinds of solutions can't compete
Recently went from a 24" to a 32" and I am now rocking a 35" Curved Ultra Wide and couldn't be happier. The difference is night and day, I went from one tab to two and now three with no issues and games are much more immersive...
The thinnest bezel available are video wall digital signage seamless display. These monitors are huge and very thicc, also not for consumer use. I suppose you still can purchase them if you want to, they are expensive though for less features.
For the general gamer, this probably isn't worth it, But for sim racing, I think this could be huge which is why I'll definitely consider getting this when I get 3 monitors
it seems like they should really be a lot thinner than they are. they take up a lot of space on each screen but when you think about it they only need to be as thick as the bezel space and about a centimetre of screen space on top of that, maybe 3 centimetres
The solution, save up for a 32:9 or 32:10 (my preference) monitor 0 bezels and much more immersive, sure it's expensive but I can clearly don't see my self using dual monitors set up, just 32:10 at 1440p or greater. Yeah, it's a weirds aspect ratio and most games cut off up and bottom of the game but some game does support it, and it's just epic. I mainly play center at 1080p/1440p while having Discord and something else on the side, mostly game builds to follow along. Also amazing for streaming games onto twitch or youtube, or whatever platform you prefer.
9:50 Do you think the problem would've been solved if you guys spaced out the monitors a bit more? Because it sounds like the refractive index on the plastic is too high if the bezels are that small.
Btw, current games that benefit from the triple monitor extended display or Ultrawide mode are: COD: Warfare, Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Zero Dawn, Forza Horizon 4, No Nan Sky, Death Stranding, Metro Exodus, Minecraft, Hell Blade: SS, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Hunt Showdown
I actually wonder if separating the monitors a few millimeters would have fixed the cutoff portions referenced @10:00 in. It looks like they are a bit too close together and some space might have fixed that.

So to me, this is awesome and I would absolutely buy it in a heart beat.
Did you try separating the monitors from each other by a couple millimeters to eliminate the distortion/cropping effect? Your bezels may be thinner than what the plastic strips were designed for.
@@saadalam7499 Just get a 49 ultra ultrawide and it's more or less the same screenspace with a way better experience. Who spends 110 dollars for that? Or you buy straight a vr headset
Depending on the game you play, you could always use a coloured strip of paper to reduce the contrasting effect of black bezels on blue sky etc. Or make the bezels gray
Them: so Asus says that this works for their monitors only. So let's try installing these on our not Asus monitors. Also them: I'm deducting points because these didn't work with my non Asus monitors! Wtf
It's still a valid criticism. Offering a wider range of clamp motion would not be difficult, & would add a lot more value to an already expensive product.
After years of using 4 monitors for productivity I personally found non-uniformity more enjoyable, like combining different wallpapers and arranging applications on specific monitors. Bezels are not something drawing my attention. But I can see the appeal of this tech for the racing games
What ASUS needs to do is make functioning screens that you put over the bezels. Use HDMI, and they both can plug into your GPU. You could have adapters for other ports too. Not sure how windows would handle it though.
same. you know what i would have bought from them if it would be good? camera, microphone, case, mouse, headphonestand, cablefree headphone. might buy a keyboard if a new flagship comes out. but yea. that kit would be cool if i could use it on my 2 ROG monitors.... well. maybe they come up with some that have no bezels?
I’ve been an advocate for triple screen gaming since back before eyefinity and Matrox cards(which were horrible) but I am glad we are finally getting some love... even though that solution is quite expensive for what it is. When it comes to bezels and a lot of people saying they never went with triple screen.... the mind gets rid of the bezels over time. Just like the A Pllars in your car; since your focusing on what’s coming through the windows your focus is there and the pillars don’t bother you as more time comes along. I had some skeptical friends over the years and I would have them try it and within a small amount of time it wouldn’t really matter since they’re focus is what’s on screen. Naturally it helps with overlap when bezels are larger but choosing the right screens with narrow bezels it goes away to the mind’s eye really quickly. But overall having that much real estate to look at has its benefits like in WOW am calling raids cause you can see everything to FPS games where you can see enemies coming from the side so much quicker. It def has its advantages. As we get more games with integrated FOV sliders we can adjust the smearing effect that some complain about in a few games where it can be pretty nasty to look at... but overall the benefits outweigh the negatives. Quite a few friends have converted over the years to well known and coveted setups like the Dell 20/30/20 and even taking the large curved 34” screens and going vertical, which is actually pretty neat not just staring at the boss’s feet in games like WOW.
Regarding the OSD, there is a protocol called DDC/CI that allows a computer to control monitor settings over HDMI or Displayport. There are some programs for Windows that implement the full functionality, but if you just want to control brightness, there's an app called Monitorian that allows you to control it from the taskbar.
this might make more sense for someone with older triple gaming monitor setups with thick bodies and bezels that doesn't want to buy 3 new thin bezel displays, but even then it seems like the price point just makes it even more niche
If you have thin bezels and need to increase it, you can increase the "bezel" width by placing the monitors a little bit with an open gap between them (Bezel, Gap, Bezel).
Never seen that before? It's a plastic sheet with lots of little stripe lenses and two images striped. Depending on the angle you look at it it's a different image.
I see why they created this product, I have 3 Asus monitors and LOVED using triple displays for Left4Dead. The other two monitors have been un-used for years because of the desk footprint they take up. After finding out about this product I feel like I'm the niche case they build this for. I don't want to sell 3 monitors and purchase a curved display so it makes sense for my situation. Deferentially makes 0 sense for anyonewho does not already have triple Asus displays so I don't see it as a revolutionary product, still really cool.
Is there not a measurement to get the full screen display? Example if the bezels are already small this kit will push both screens too close together causing parts of the screens to be hidden so would pulling the monitors a little farther apart help? I think it would be a decent product if that is the case.
Great review! A part 2 test with a compatible 3 monitor setup would be enjoyable. That way we can really compare how well the product works all around. That's understandable why it wouldn't fit right or allign perfectly with non Asus gear. It's like trying to plug in ur galaxy note to ur iPhone dock... It's possible! But their will be issues
I have Asus rog monitor which fits thier description and and bought this bezel free kit and it works WONDERSS! PERFECT...this thing is total worth it..i can't tell for you guys but if you have similar stats of monitor this thing is crazy yo.
Id like to see a bezel-less monitors (at least the sides), front of the panel would align and whatever support the panel needs would be towards the back (side of the monitor would be angled). Would be easier to design than the curved ultrawide monitors and you wouldnt need to invest much in manufacturing equipment. I know it wont happen but its nice to dream.
I think that if there was a middle monitor sold with these built in, they could be smaller yet still accomplish the same thing. Or a sort of modular kit that you can buy and the monitors click together somehow so they are perfectly aligned, and you dont need such a big "refractor"
I can see a random Chinese company selling this stuff in 1-2 months on Aliexpress for $20.
This thing is worth $5 lets be honest.
give it 3 months and it's down to $10 lol
in 6 months maybe $5

I’ve been an advocate for triple screen gaming since back before eyefinity and Matrox cards(which were horrible) but I am glad we are finally getting some love... even though that solution is quite expensive for what it is.
When it comes to bezels and a lot of people saying they never went with triple screen.... the mind gets rid of the bezels over time. Just like the A Pllars in your car; since your focusing on what’s coming through the windows your focus is there and the pillars don’t bother you as more time comes along.
I had some skeptical friends over the years and I would have them try it and within a small amount of time it wouldn’t really matter since they’re focus is what’s on screen.
Naturally it helps with overlap when bezels are larger but choosing the right screens with narrow bezels it goes away to the mind’s eye really quickly.
But overall having that much real estate to look at has its benefits like in WOW am calling raids cause you can see everything to FPS games where you can see enemies coming from the side so much quicker. It def has its advantages. As we get more games with integrated FOV sliders we can adjust the smearing effect that some complain about in a few games where it can be pretty nasty to look at... but overall the benefits outweigh the negatives. Quite a few friends have converted over the years to well known and coveted setups like the Dell 20/30/20 and even taking the large curved 34” screens and going vertical, which is actually pretty neat not just staring at the boss’s feet in games like WOW.
Looks broken. "for free" - is too much for this piece of 💩
Regarding the OSD, there is a protocol called DDC/CI that allows a computer to control monitor settings over HDMI or Displayport. There are some programs for Windows that implement the full functionality, but if you just want to control brightness, there's an app called Monitorian that allows you to control it from the taskbar.
I wonder if you remove the top part and put them upsidedown, leaving the bottom part dangling if needed, then you can ajust the monitor settings etc.
Where did you get that desk? I've been looking for a desk to my liking for my 3 monitor set up for months and can't seem to find one. lol
Hi Mike. Good to see you!
this might make more sense for someone with older triple gaming monitor setups with thick bodies and bezels that doesn't want to buy 3 new thin bezel displays, but even then it seems like the price point just makes it even more niche
If you have thin bezels and need to increase it, you can increase the "bezel" width by placing the monitors a little bit with an open gap between them (Bezel, Gap, Bezel).
At minute 2:15 how they did the effect with the paper?
Never seen that before? It's a plastic sheet with lots of little stripe lenses and two images striped. Depending on the angle you look at it it's a different image.
I see why they created this product, I have 3 Asus monitors and LOVED using triple displays for Left4Dead. The other two monitors have been un-used for years because of the desk footprint they take up. After finding out about this product I feel like I'm the niche case they build this for. I don't want to sell 3 monitors and purchase a curved display so it makes sense for my situation. Deferentially makes 0 sense for anyonewho does not already have triple Asus displays so I don't see it as a revolutionary product, still really cool.
Is there not a measurement to get the full screen display? Example if the bezels are already small this kit will push both screens too close together causing parts of the screens to be hidden so would pulling the monitors a little farther apart help? I think it would be a decent product if that is the case.
Great review! A part 2 test with a compatible 3 monitor setup would be enjoyable. That way we can really compare how well the product works all around. That's understandable why it wouldn't fit right or allign perfectly with non Asus gear. It's like trying to plug in ur galaxy note to ur iPhone dock... It's possible! But their will be issues
If the two monitor putting side by side but not actually touching each other will that help for the missing pixels
Amazing video
Where can I get that popsicle shirt? It’s awesome!
I have Asus rog monitor which fits thier description and and bought this bezel free kit and it works WONDERSS! PERFECT...this thing is total worth it..i can't tell for you guys but if you have similar stats of monitor this thing is crazy yo.
6:17 that should not count as a problem because ASUS never said that monitor you use is compatible....
Does this make double monitor setups viable for gaming?
Id like to see a bezel-less monitors (at least the sides), front of the panel would align and whatever support the panel needs would be towards the back (side of the monitor would be angled). Would be easier to design than the curved ultrawide monitors and you wouldnt need to invest much in manufacturing equipment. I know it wont happen but its nice to dream.
I think that if there was a middle monitor sold with these built in, they could be smaller yet still accomplish the same thing. Or a sort of modular kit that you can buy and the monitors click together somehow so they are perfectly aligned, and you dont need such a big "refractor"
It's like adding extra bezels to get rid of much thinner bezels.
