BEZEL FREE with 65 INCH SCREENS!
Vložit

- 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.

Awesome work. Im gonna get started on mine now, just need to get the bezel kits.... oh and the 3 screens, rig, pc.... nevermind :(
I'm right behind you. Just need to sell a kidney or three for me to be able to afford all that 🤣
@@TripSpeedGT Im just going sell the house. Just live in the boxes all the gear will come in
@@jadielcooper9388 nope nobody gives a shit
Dude that orange tape is shit.... it ended up tainting my bezel kit and when I tried scrubbing the adhesive, I broke it
RIP, just get a G29 at the very least. I just sold my old set to my buddy for 100 bux , trying to get him into sim racing is proving difficult... Sigh
Initially I thought you were sitting in a real manufacturer simulator. It looks so real.
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.
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.
Hi mate. What size are your screens? I've only got the one ultrawide 34" at this stage, but looking to upgrade.
@@weepingeye i´m currently on 27" screens. But planning to Upgrade to 32" triples or maybe even 34" . Depends on what i find for a good price.
When I finally start my build this year I will be using your channel to help. This is awesome.
Is it just me that uses the bezel as braking markers?.... As always Will great vid without the fluff👍🇦🇺
I have these on my triple LG 32" 1440p setup, and with the new Vario mounts from Sim-Lab ordered everything can now be perfectly aligned.
Hey, are there any pictures of the result / how you fit them? Officially they go up to 27" so I'm wondering what it would be like. Thanks in advance :)
@@kontoname I have made a post on RaceDepartment with all details and pictures.
@@georgetomlinson1144 Hey thanks for getting back to me - would you happen to have a link? I tried searching on it but wasn't able to find it. Thanks! :)
@@kontoname You can search for Asus ROG on Race Department
@@georgetomlinson1144 Awesome, found it! Looks really good! And really nice way of mounting them - I think this might actually be a setup I could go for - 65" 4k is just a bit too crazy for me right now.
Thanks! :)
Got my 65’s and bezel kit on the way. This has been immensely useful. 🙏🏽
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"
Love watching your setup progress
The most real simulator I've seen to date, it seems to be from the factory!
honestly for triple screen, we actually need some advanced displays which are totally frameless and can be combined with backflips together.
MicroLED. But cost literally a fortune!
In 3-4 years maybe we will see big flexible Oled accecible to the standard consumer
Thanks for sharing your experience, Will. But I honestly think thin bezels are less distracting than some stuff taped to a monitor.
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.
@@boostedmedia for content creation why dont you just edit it out? Wont it looks better?
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
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).
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.
MicroLED. Literally cost a fortune.
Would be great of Asus, having made the 43" screens, to make a bezel kit for them too!!!
this is called a prism sheet it is found in lcd panels behind the lcd in the actual panel stack itself. i just made one an old donor monitor. works flawlessly.
Looks awesome, brother. I'm generally a VR racer but I've got a triple 40 inch screen deck as well and this is tempting
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.
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!
Fresnel lenses, DIY perks talks about them, component in some flat screen t.v's
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.
I was going to say that I would bet it's a two fresnel lenses mashed together. A lenticular les makes more sense though.
@@nejcmirtic529 Thanks for that, I knew something wasn't quite right, but no one had said anything and they appeared to be the same.
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.
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.
This is quite easy to DIY. You only need a LCD TV (preferably broken) and take out the prism sheet and cut to length
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.
This was absolutely genius!!!!
Copying this project!
Can't wait for Samsung Zero Bezel TVs!
Looks brilliant Will. I think I'd go -13, but that's just me. ;)
Thanks for the review, Will. Looks great, but at $149 Canadian for the kit, I am sticking to my bezeled view.
The price is pretty extortionate I agree.
Awesome video. Thanks!
Love your content man. Every time I talk to someone unfamiliar with sim racing I show then your set up and it always blows their minds. I’m looking at setting up my own triple monitor set up, similar to yours. I’m looking at LG C1’s but there’s a significant price difference between the 55 and 65. Do you think it’s worth the extra $1500 or so for the 65’s or are 55’s good enough? Cheers!
55 would be fine mate.
Thanks for the tips
Cool set up matey ;)
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!
Loving your vids and making my way through all of them. Having a PC built to get into iRacing and will use it with my C1 65. Wondering if you ever used it with a GPU that couldn’t put out 4k and what settings you went with? 4K display, 1440p in game upscaled or 1440p display and letterbox for 1440p in game?
awesome rig Will ! Could I ask exactly how long each of the 'prisms' are ? mm, inches, bananas... anything would help, I'm amazed that Asus dont tell us !
410mm :) Sorry I should have included that in the video. It annoyed me too. I guessed based off the package dimensions when I ordered them. Lol
you just answered my question here,, these lenses look a good idea,, how you getting on with them,??!!! , I recommended them to a friend of mine a few months ago
You actually can set a negative bezel in iRacing. Dan Suzuki showed it in a video
Ooh cool! I’ll have to check it. Thanks. That will make a big difference.
You can in Acc aswell which is nice
Another great video, I got one 55inch tv to start and I'm gonna buy the next two when the cash comes, I can't wait. Oh and if my girlfriend leaves me it's your fault 😂
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
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 did you use one pack per side (having to invert one panel) and not just split them to either side as you normally would? 2 lefts and 2 rights?
Because then I’d have the indicator etchings in the middle of the screen.
@@boostedmedia ah, makes perfect sense. Sorry, you probably mentioned that in the video but must have missed it. Love your setup, wish I could afford triple 65”s or even 55”s as you recommend for my rig!
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.
did you pay for the rig all yourself or did you get given some of it to help you out? fantastic rig btw :)
He paid for it, with his awesomeness!
Hey Will love your content. Have been a subscriber for well over a year. I've been away a lot recently so missed a lot. Not sure if I missed the video, but did you end up getting a Samsung G9? I'm interested in doing some ACC races, but I'm worried I'm, way too slow!
No. I paid for one and had it on order for about 4 months but then they started turning up with issues and I decided it wasn’t worth the $3500 so I cancelled the order.
that's a fair dinkum setup
Hi will great content as usual, any chance you ask your contacts when these will be available in Europe again please? Been looking for 2 months only place seems to be available is to order from america. 😔😠
I don’t have contacts for these I’m afraid. I ordered off Amazon and waited a few months too.
@@boostedmedia bummer😩 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks for the quick response 👍👍
Can you please check weather this solution works for straight position (not for angle position monitor). tv by bending that sheet?
Any changes to the 1mm double sided tape 2 years later on the bezel free kit before I purchase some?
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.
No you’d need to be able to put a negative value in surround, which it doesn’t allow.
great info, just need to find an installation service, way too hard for me,
Hello my friend!! i have a small problem to configure my bezel free kit! the image appears very good until the middle of the screen, at the top it is misaligned! I currently use 38 • angle (142 •), I am using 34 inch screens! do you think that because i don't follow the manufacturer's guidelines to use 130 degrees, am i having problems? I saw that you didn't change your angle, and it worked well! changing the angle of the screens is very hard work! I would like your opinion on that
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?
I ask coz I have 3x32" curved G5's and wondered if it was even necessary, I see some manage with 1 set tho, doing a little jerry-rigging.
That’s what we did originally. This works better.
@@boostedmedia ok, thanks for the response, helps a lot!
Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to Mount that kit on 32" inch curved screens from AOS????
3d print it
watching your vids is extremely bad for my wallet :D
in Europe the Bezel are not found. Incredible !!! : - (((
Yeah, they are no longer availabe in Europe. It seems ASUS stoped selling them 4-6 weeks ago. ;(
Any tweaks that need to be done in iRacing. My kit is due any day now
with 3x tv 55" that ASUS ROG Bezel-Free Kit will work?
I wonder if they would work on my 32” screens. Could be tight.
Have a look for Race beyond Matters Bezel free Tutorial, he used selfsticking Alcantara, I tried this for my own rig with triple 32s and it almost fits regarding the monitor height, maybe missing it about 0.5cm on the top and the bottom, doesn't bother me when racing
They are just Fresnel Lenses cut to correct size.
No they’re not Freanel lenses. They’re lenticular lenses.
Can you use this with any monitor and any game to delete the bezel
What is the name of the seat that I can see in the video preview image???
can you play f1 2020 on this with third party apps?
You can play it normally, its just that it'll look a little distorsed or weird
How well do these work with curved monitors?
What country are you from that 3M stuff is considered good? I am from the UK and 3M stuff is notoriously awful here. 3M tape can't even reliably adhere strongly enough to support its own weight for example.
Greetings. what gpu do you use? I have rtx 3080 msi gamin trio and I play 1440p and I can't go up from 105 fps and the resolution is 10340x1440
nice, ...but why is your steering wheel shaft goes to the dashboard. it should pointing under the dashboard. shouldnt it?
It’s just the result of the way the camera is positioned relative to the screens. There’s always going to be trade offs. It looks fine from the drivers position but I’d I make it look right on camera I’m sitting too low in the car to drive.
@@boostedmedia You tell me the shaft is pointing under the dashboard? I do not think so. Sorry.
What pc do you have to be able to move 3 4k screens ????
how's vrr support?
Can I have one 32" 1440P and 2 32" 1080p screens ? Or is it going to be really big different?
yes but you will have to run the 1440p screen at the same res as the other two, to be able to surround them all together
It seems kind of mindless that companies don't just make multiple sizes. Why wouldn't they want to make options?
My Vet bought a new car, it was a Cat-ilac, I seen it in the Barking lot
Would love that, but VR is so much cheaper
Can't we just use 65 inch TV which cost around 2000 dollars ? which cost half of the price of his monitor. Can someone please explain.
Something like the LG CX also works. Doesn’t have gsync or DisplayPort though.
Tape works until the panel warms up.
So I would have to cut the bezel screen to work with 55". :(
Shouldn’t need to. A bit of overhang won’t hurt.
I switched to projectors when I used to have a sim rig, the amount of light from all those leds blasting ditectly into your eyes can't be good in the long term.
I run triple 4Ks OLEDs, do you use NVIDIA surround 100% of the time?
🏎️🏁 Yeah/Nah 👎🏻 two kits (4 units) for $600 (AUD) WTF‼️
I mean its cool, but no one is using triple 65 inch screens
You should go back and do a course in 'counting'
First. Winning.
Yer they are good value $196 each 👎so basically it would cost you $800 AU for a bezel kit for your screens I just don’t know how they could justify charging so much for a strip of plastic and a few brackets to hold them in place plain robbery
You can just buy lenticular plastic sheets for so much cheaper that have a way higher LPI. This 'product' is an absolute waste of money. It makes me wonder how much money you've actually wasted without doing research first.
To be honest ... For me that is the weakest point of your (totaly amazing 🙂) Setup.
Agreed. It’s the best we can do for now though.
To be honest a lot of this hassle can be saved if one buys a massive ultrawide curved monitor instead of three separate monitors.
Yeah no. 1. there are no tripple wide monitors 2. there are no 65" ultra wide screen monitors 3. triplle screen rendering is quite different from just streching one wide image around you
Im not aware of any "massive ultrawide curved montor" that provides anything close to this field of view outside of multi-projector systems which have their own caveats.
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
Where can you get a 195in, 2160x11,520 pixel, ultrawide curved monitor?
@@boostedmedia There are 49 inch curved ultrawide from LG and Dell. Just sit close to it and the field of view should be close to what you get. But I think a good VR headset is the way to go for racing immersion.
All that money and still no depth perception...
