Dual Monitor Question

[gar3555]

I'm just wondering, more out of curiousity than necessity. I have two 17" LG Flatron Monitors, anyways, is it remotely plausible to take them out of there original casings, and put them right next to each other, so that when they are run in dual display mode, w/ horiz span, there is no gap between the two? Has anyone here tried this with any monitors, I am just curious, as I think that would be awesome.

Theoretically possible. Don't know anybody who's done it yet though.

kinda what I was thinking, it seems very possible, but a special enclosure would have to be fashioned, and I'm sure there are other issues that would need to be considered. I'm surprised that no one here has tried this or something similar.

I know a lot of people are taking apart LCDs to make projectors out of them, but that involves taking the lighting from behind the panel out too.

Whatever you do, be careful!

I'm thinking that after all the trouble that you'd have to go through, you'd be better off just buying a widescreen LCD from Dell or something. But I like your thinking 🙂x

Yeah, I know. The effort probably outweighs the worth. I guess I just like to take things apart. 🙂

I read once that there was a company that had developed a 'molding' that was placed at the seem where two LCD screens came together and the 'molding' would bend the light of the LCD's so that the screen looked continuous.

However it required special drivers to make the graphics at the edge of the display stretched so that the image after passing through the 'molding' would look correct.

Unfortunately I do not remember or could find the company's website that developed this.

(No I have not done this myself)
