With 1920x1080 LCD monitors being so cheap these days using three of them side-by side for desktop and/or gaming will no doubt become more popular.

In fact, for the same price today we can have three 1080p monitors for what a single 1920x1200 24" LCD cost just 2 to 2 1/2 years ago.

So re there any super-thin bezel affordable LCD monitors to go with these super-poweful Eyefinity cards?

P.S. Three 1080p monitors have 50% more pixels than a single 2560x1600 monitor.....but these days video cards seem to have the power to push those pixels.

those LGs are actually on sale for $1500, search google for SL80. desktop LCDs can't be far behind.

I hope with see both super-thin bezel 1080p monitors as well as monitors with 120 Mhz capability. This would make for some interesting hardware buying decisions.

Defo a step in the right direction, but:

"LG recently showed off an upcoming new model for its popular line of flatscreen TVs: seamless. That?s right, there?s no frame around the screen."

Unless it's just my eyes, or the way the pic is orientated, I still see a 1/16 to 1/8" bezel around that screen. What is their definition of "seamless" and why should it apply to a LCD TV?

they're just saying the vertical sides of the bezel are minimized and they are perfectly flush with the panel, not protruding in any way. that is what seamless means, and it applies to all sorts of things. the term was not coined solely for these displays.

there is a small edge, though.

definitely check it out in a store first. i have a feeling the brightness isn't going to be uniform. i will be skeptical of edgeless LCDs until LED becomes cheaper and more common because at least you know that will be uniform.

I'm pretty sure that 120Hz and 240Hz TV's are nothing more than marketing bs. The panels employ tricks to mimic what 120 or 240Hz would look like, or something along those lines.

I beg to differ. I spent MONTHS comparing 60Hz HDTV's to 120Hz HDTV's before I bought my Samsung 46" 120Hz. 650 I believe is the model. I even had the salesman at PC Richards, Best Buy AND Circuit City set them up next to each other with the same signal. The 120Hz was absolutely superior in every way shape and form. Crisper picture with AutoMotion option as well. I cannot speak for the 240Hz screens as I have not seen a side by side comparison yet. And I probably won't go through that garbage again until I'm ready for my next TV, many moons from now. ;)

This TV was a big expense, so I questioned the benefit or if it was worth the money for the 120Hz over the 60Hz model. After comparing them directly, many times, I couldn't justify "not" spending the extra money on the 120Hz. This isn't one of those things where certain people wont notice a difference. You can't "not" see it.

film and tv in motion is smoother, but there is not a one-to-one correspondence between frames. i have no idea how gaming at 1080p would look at 240 hz. maybe someone has written an article.

Nice one! I would like that, even with just one screen. Just seems like a weird word to use. Maybe that triple monitor stuff will catch on.

I have the Samsung 52" 750 model (also 120Hz)... From what I understand the 120Hz panels display SD content much better. If you watch a 24FPS movie on 60Hz it'll be a different experience than on a 120Hz TV.

As far as the 120Hz looking better, it very well could have. The point I was trying to make was that it's not a true 120Hz or 240Hz display, unless I am wrong (and I could be) and someone wants to correct me.

What I'd like to see are these screens accepting 120/240Hz as an input. AFAIK not many do.

The 120hz and 240hz tvs have ridiculous input delay because of the processing of the frames, and its still not a true 120/240 because the input is still only 60... I wonder if u could set up a custom resolution and change the EDID to 120/240, and if there is a way of turning off processing you might be able to trick the tv into being a true 120

On LCD TVs, I haven't heard of any true 120hz models being available yet. On monitors, there are those few models that were released recently (they go along somewhat with the Nvidia 3d stereovision tech).

those bezels aren't exceptionally thin, they are just mounted together in one of the eyefinity configurations.
