I can see a random Chinese company selling this stuff in 1-2 months on Aliexpress for $20.

Man, feel like ASUS should've taken more time with this. I was looking forward to this but seems like a hard pass.

It's a start but seems like prototype $110 is a joke

1:50 they both had the exact same voice when they said, its not to bad lol

It seems more distracting than the actual bezel.

Move the centre monitor slightly in front of the left and right monitors to hide their bezels... Boom half the bezels for free

So, I'm getting rid of my bezels so that I can stare at two giant pieces of plastic?

10:44 look at him crouching under the table to play the game.

I'd like to see how these things look on three ROG monitors that Asus says they're compatible with, instead of three random monitors.

110$ for 2 pieces of plastic? Yeah I'm gonna wait for the Chinese.

Great idea, far from perfect implementation, insanely overpriced.

why dont they release a monitor without the left and right bezels similar to Samsung phones.

I like this style of presenting, more casual and conversational in approach. Makes me feel more involved. Great video!

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.

removing bezels and replacing some thiccccc packaging tape.

So basically ..... 2 plastic parts glued together at an angle 110$ ? No thx.

The Idea amazed me! But the final product does not ^^ Thanks for the cool review. Please do more of such kind of gadgets, I never heard of ^^

$110 for some plastic that sorta works, what a joke. For that kinda money you could just sell your three monitors and get an ultrawide.

I own one of those Asus monitors and the OSD controls are totally covered by the strips. Not sure they thought that through very well...

This is the goofiest product I've ever seen available for purchase.

Slightly offtopic: I really like how the HC logo looks like a gear shift pattern while showing racing games

You guys do great together, makes for a very easy to watch video.

Too limited, and too expensive. This looks like something a random guy with a 3d printer McGuyver'd together to play around with.

Cool, if only I had three monitors.

Just buy a Super Ultra Wide monitor... Saving time to install and remove, energy, money and dust accumulation.

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

literally just searched this up and this video was just posted lol

Waiting for second generation with lot of revision.

The review we've been waiting for. And starts with Mike too ! Nice. 😀

Nice to see more Mike!

Where can I get that popsicle shirt? It’s awesome!

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!

110$ that's the price of a 1080p monitor, hell no and the result is sketchy

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...

Very good review. Great decision using your friend. He was the perfect person to test the product.

If this came out 10-15 years ago my god it may have been big! looks cool, price to high and sad no bigger options. Id tape on the carbored

Got a 27 inch ultra wide and I've also got VR. SO I don't need some overpriced hologram film pieces like from my old school ruler thanks.

Needs a monitor setting where the area behind the tool adjusts the brightness and other settings so it looks more similar

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

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

are you kidding me this looks even more distracting than bezels...

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.

How do we not just have bezel-less monitors at this point?

Good thing there was no included software cause we all know how Asus is with that department.

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.

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

Who still uses a triple monitor setup with ultrawides available. What is this 2007 still? You dont even notice bezels after 5 minutes of gaming.

forza with mouse and keyboard pc master race ftw

I love how you receive the answer within the first 2 seconds

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

The price is eye-watering for what it is

ROG product with AORUS ad

Tbh Asus should have sponsored this video and *provided* the appropriate monitor setup to really accentuate their product. Seems like an oversight on a product designed to *refract light* in a certain way

Seems like they should make it a bit thinner? Seems like a beta test product rather than a full product or perfected.

Sim racing is trending hard right now , can't wait to see more !

This looks so bad. Looks cheap and tacky, and too expensive.

My main monitor is an Asus ROG monitor, and I was going to add 2 more, this would be awesome. Yes, it's $110, but at the same time, it's "only" $110. That's not a lot of money (for me, fortunately) and it would make the games I would want to play with a multi monitor setup a little prettier. So to me, this is awesome and I would absolutely buy it in a heart beat.

Well, it specifically says on their website that it's only to be used for gaming and not general tasks like browsing or productive work.

I love how Hardware Canucks is making more and more collab videos with themselves

3d print a collar to go over the top pins to increase the thickness.......

It's like adding extra bezels to get rid of much thinner bezels.

Great job guys, would be very happy to see more vids with Mike!

2:35 only support Asus monitors 6:45 "Asus didn't make into account xxx problems" while trying to install the kit on a Philips monitor 🤔

My monitor's price is 100$ 😂

Hud maps can be adjusted in most games so less of an issue. The biggest issue is the price. This should be 29.99-49.99. Ideally $19.99 on sale

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 can make this thing , why shall i buy it lol 🤣

who the eff is mike?

Mike! Do more vids! This one was great, well done!

As the owner of compatible ASUS monitors, a couple of the issues would definitely be alleviated by using ASUS monitors. The monitors I have are definitely a lot thicker than these thin monitors, and a big deal is when he mentioned that a couple small bezels might be better, ASUS monitors have much thicker side bezels than these monitors.

Low Key... WHO WOULD BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol with the cost of their monitors should be incluided in every panel. Because is ROG will be expensive

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.

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

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

what in the literal hell is this shit, makes me feel bad for buying so many asus products, this is a sham.

2020:no bezel screen 3030:no screen screen

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

Looks broken. "for free" - is too much for this piece of 💩

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.

How can you have so many complaints when the instructions clearly say they're not made for those monitors

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).

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"

These are seemingly for the dedicated sim rig or gaming rig. Obviously not ideal for the family PC, or general gamer. But my use case demands that I at least give it a shot. My setup is a dedicated aluminum profile Sim racing rig with a separate aluminum profile triple monitor stand. As for myself.. I can't see myself NOT picking up one of these kits. Thanks for the review guys..

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.

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 tried using the diffusors from a broken TV to do this, and it actually worked to a certain degree when the diffusion material was bent into a triangle shape. It wasn't quite as good as what those do, but it's not far off and it's free, so...

The overlap can be overcome by pulling monitors apart a few millimeters. But still not worth it for $100 imo..

I actually run 2 identical Asus 24" 3D monitors (VG23AH) for daily use and usually they're plenty of desktop workspace for me. But, on occasion I sandwich another non-matched Asus 24" monitor (VH236H) between the pair to play dirt 4, Forza 4 and some other racing sims. So, I'm a pretty ideal candidate for this product but there is no way I would pay $110 for this. Like, hell no. I've actually been thinking about upgrading to something like a 39" curved ultrawide and this product hasn't curbed my desire. I would probably buy it on ebay for around $30 bucks but that's it. I'm not J but that's my 2 cents.

Re-make these at half the width and use a 2-way adhesive to attach the top and bottom to the monitor frame so you don't need those pointless/expensive clips and sell it at 20 bucks a pop. Then this would be a good product

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.

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.

I must say - the content quality is quite impressive !!

I feel like the visual annoyances of bezels is still better than the visual annoyance of two big pieces of plastic between the monitors. Might just be me but it looks like an eye sore more so than the thin bezels that most new monitors have.

it looks like youre supposed to have the monitors actualy a bit further apart, with the image overlapping and taking up a lot of the screen. move the monitors apart and have the lens bridge the gap

Just going to point this out: your bezels were too thin to have the monitors butted right up to one another. space them apart slightly to properly match the bezels.

For $110 they should've included a software that you could use to colour correct and adjust the warping of different areas of the screen. I feel like that the experience could be even better.

You can use sugru to fix the top clip

I have three 27" monitors. I really wish I could justify the cost for what is really a simple and elegant solution to hiding the bezels... just like I wish I could have justified the cost of a curved ultrawide high refresh rate monitor when I decided to go 3-wide. I'll put that $100 into saving towards some better flight controls.
