Remembering the AOC monitor that got the internet in a tizzy for the low price and near frame-less frame to be false. I bring you the Asus MX279H Specs are 27" with a 1920x1080 IPS http://www.asus.com/Display/LCD_Monitors/MX279H/

Does this deceive just a wee bit? The bezel is thin but the usable display doesn't stretch that far.  Still, I guess they were doing the market analysis this whole time if they plan to debut that thing; but price is still an issue, we don't know their break-even; if the price is high that would indicate they don't think the market is very wide. Depends on people's need for it; if they don't mind the technological illusion similar to the Dell S2340M. post edited by lehpron - 2012/12/23 22:53:08

Unlike AOC however Asus is more upfront about it.
Nice on that Dell monitor

The only reason why I posted this was for "Borderless" for people who hate the bezel being in the way when they go Surround/Eye.

Nah that's the refresh rate.
UK website that's selling it states that its 59~70hz.

No the 5ms is the response time, Refresh Rate is completely different. Just to clear up the confusion.
Response time is the measure in time for a pixel to go from grey to white to grey.
Refresh rate is done syncing the picture with the line frequency of typically 60 or 120 hertz
I can clearly see that in the specs.
Response Time : 5ms
So I guess I skimmed over this part
Signal Frequency: 30~80 KHz(H)/ 56~76 Hz(V)
Since its not your typical 60hz or 120hz Refresh rate

And then input lag is a whole other bag of worms.
Honestly what pisses me off the most when shopping for a monitor is contrast ratio, they hide the actual number and give you Dynamic contrast ratio, which is a meaningless number with no metric, even internally in a company.

Displays are meant to be turned on and viewed and the edge of the display to the viewable area should define the bezel. Anyone saying anything different has a marketing degree and is used to shoveling nonsense at people for a living. Do not be surprised or disappointed when you all find out the bezel size is nowhere near that thin in real pics.

Hence, illusion; display manufacturers seems to be redefining the bezel for their convenience. I found the 27" version of that Dell a while back, and posted a warning thread in multi-monitor subforum about the deceit, but I'm not really sure how many took heed. But no company bets the farm anymore, they are only doing it because their target audience doesn't care; a trend I've noticed for years regarding how many continue to settle when features are taken away very slowly, as if it isn't that bad therefore we should go with the flow. It is similar to the analogy about boiling water and a frog.

It's been standard practice as long as Photoshop has existed. Back in 1998-2002 I was a production artist that would do this all the time for catalog embedded pictures. Problem is the manufacturer typically gives you a picture with the display turned off. The production artist merely guesses where the viewable area is on the doctored pics. In these cases they're assuming wrong and dumping in pics at full bezel edge size when that is incorrect. The manufacturer never corrects the error and chalks it up as not their fault. Typical pass the buck with no one as a victim in their eyes. The whole reason why it's done is because the real output on the monitor is never as sharp and clear as a photoshop simulated picture is. They want to present their product in the best light -- even if that light is misdirection. Where they cross the line though is the deliberate miscommunication and repurposing of what a bezel is. This is firmly on their marketing department's head. Someone had to of come up with this and got it OKed. It's false advertizing.

The Samsung Eyefinity LCDs are pretty close. I remember using them when I assisted AMD at CES 2011. They looked rather impressive to me. The Samsung MD230. These were out long ago though. Looks like you can find them street price for around $550 each. Essentially what they're doing though is de-bezeling the panel and putting all controls on the rear. You can do this with almost any panel, a bit of painters masking tape and some black rattle can to make the panel edges and back black. Be very careful how you paint though. WSGF users do this all the time. Be mindful that the panel have a decent back panel that you can VESA mount to though. Those de-bezeling the 1440p Korean LG panels are the most impressive lately. Not for the faint-of-heart DIYer though.

Im still worried by the lack of Windows 8 Certified Touch Monitors.
And the ones that exist from Acer and Dell are about $700 for a 23" 1920x1080...
I could buy 4 of my Viewsonic 2250WM's for that much.
And I already have 2...

That monitor does look nice. I would consider it if the resolution was higher. Just seems like another 1080p monitor to hit a already flooded market. The bezels are nice but its only a issue if your running surround. Then even thats not a big deal since you can just tuck a monitor behind another and achieve the same thing. They really need to start pumping some higher res/ higher refresh rate displays thats where the variety is missing.
