[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="mitu123"]Thin bezels aren't too bad, but I would rather game with up to 3 monitors.

I don't see what's wrong with the bezels? Unless you just don't like bezels at all. Bezels aren't going to get thinner than that. If you absolutely must not have bezels, you can get one of those widescreen curved monitors that cost a ton of $$$ like this one.

I like how thin those bezels are

Yeah, I wasn't sure if you meant it either way. lol Yeah, the one in that pic is nice.

[QUOTE="horgen123"]They should be equally fast until you reach VRAM bottlenecks for the 2GB version. Which you will rather quickly on a 2560*1440 monitor. Elann2008
At 2560x1440, 2GB vram territory is absolutely fine unless you are turning anti-aliasing up beyond 4xAA. Anything more than that, I do agree that 2GB vram will become very limited. You can read more about it here.

 

Thanks for the link, very useful. It doesn't seem many games take advantage of 4GB if I was to stay with gaming at 2560x1440, but I guess for futureproofing it would be a good idea to go for the 4GBs in case.

by the time you need all that texture memory the GPU will be too slow to use it.

This is also one of the thinnest bezels I've seen:

^ It's a sham.. check this out LG false advertising Now you know I don't go around accusing unless it had some weight.

It's still pretty thin compared to the standard bezels out there.  It's half the thickness of my Asus monitor so it's still nice.  Although LG advertised pictures with basically bezeless frame and then pulled the pictures once people figured it out.

Woah that's pretty bad, didn't expect that from LG.
