IDK how people can stand borderless monitors. Visual separation to reduce eye strain? Nah, who wants that? :downswords:

Son,

We live in a world that has money, and that money has to be guarded by men with ads. Who�s gonna do it? You? You, Sagebrush? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You adblock, and you curse the corporations. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That half-truth ads, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don�t want the truth because deep down in places you don�t talk about at parties, you want me making ads, you need me making ads. We use words like momes, chome, more corezzz. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent creating branded content. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very free websites that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a camera and shoot some ads. Either way, I don�t give a drat what you think you are entitled to.

what do border on monitors have to do with eye strain

the border/bezel provides visual separation from the monitor's surroundings and whatever is behind it. ideally, the bezel should be matte black since your eye is drawn to lighter colors, and you don't want the bezel to compete with what's on screen.

they can keep making the monitor bezels smaller and ill let them know when they are too narrow

fat bezels fuckin suck and make equipment larger than it needs to be. plus when using multiple monitors it creates empty space between them that shouldn't exist.

altho i guess if ur 3d vision is so bad you get your display confused with the surroundings you might need some kind of additional device to provide separation.

if u don't want empty space between 2 monitors you can just pick up a 21:9 monitor. it's the yospos aspect ratio even

16:10 vs 16:9 mattered when a 21" display was like $2000. now you just go up to the 24 to get that extra height and who gives a poo poo about the aspect ratio.
