1mm bezel? Only offered on a tv..what?!


Recommended Posts

I wanted to check out the new monitors released at CES and well..I just have to rant about this. It pisses me off so badly... At CES2012 LG shows off their newly released 1mm bezel 55" TV. How do they miss a sizeable target audience that has been begging for since Eyefinity came out? They promote this feature as helping feel more like a cinema? Did they miss that projectors do that cinema feel better? It doesn't even make sense because the bezel (a flat black one at least) is closer to a cinema screen outline than no bezel at all...

 

Come on. It doesn't even have a VESA mount if someone WAS willing to spend the 6k+ for 3 of them. That is just insulting at this point. So I have yet to figure out why they can make a 1mm bezel for a 55" screen but the designs for monitors being release it seems all but impossible for a manufacturer to do this on 20-30" screens.

 

It's like these companies dipping their toes into HMD (Head Mounted Displays)*cough* Sony *cough*. It's a novelty because they refuse to make the product people would want, and just rehash the something already done. If you're going to make an HMD, make it FULL(if not beyond) field of view, yeah you can't see your peripheral vision as clearly, but it has very important cues that are important for immersion. Isn't immersion the entire point of consumer HMDs? Yet not one manufacturer has stacked their little HMD screens together to make this possible. Even with the less expensive low-res screens this would be a major improvement, and high res screens would just be watch the reviewer piss their pants amazing.

 

If they did full field of view for each eye and broke the image correctly(each eye sees a little of the FOV of the other eye), 3D would go from kind of cool enhancement to wish it was available for everything status. I'm tired of hearing about awesome features that you have to hope one day just maybe someone might decide could be a selling point for gamers..
