ASUS brings its ROG Bezel-Free kit to market
If memory serves me right then it was CES 2018 when ASUS announced a bezel kit for their monitors to expand towards a better surround-view experience. Basically you can take three displays and transform it into one. Two years later, it is available.
Well, it is finally available it seems, albeit it is unclear as to why and that took this long. The kit contains two clips to attach to the monitors. The material will redirect the light rays so that the screen edges become invisible. According to ASUS something that works best at an angle of 130 degrees.
If you opt this solution then 27" is the maximum display size you can use with a bezel no wider than 13mm in the US it is sold for $110 on Amazon.

for gaming i am not a fun either buuuuuut for general computing work or just having at least 1 extra monitor ... well personally i never planned it but every time i sit on a computer with just 1 monitor .. i feel like someone restrained my hands ! But yeah gaming on 3 monitors is a strong meh from me especially now that there are 31:9 monitors
Maybe I am to old ! But I don't fancy this and never liked the multiple monitor idea !

Afer watching the video you realise what a really neat product it is but the 130 degree`s limit is a bit steep, expensive for what it is but i`ve no doubt that eventually we will see 3rd party companies picking up on the idea or even custom user equivalents.

I recall seeing this somewhere else before a while back, but it's cool to see that it is now something you can buy. Definitely a great solution for triple-monitor setups. In most cases, your brain would "filter out" the bezels anyway, but this is a much less disrupting solution. Too bad it's so expensive.
I have effectively 4 monitors in my office at work. I say "effectively" because only 2 of them extend my desktop. One of them is devoted to a VM and another is basically a discrete SSH client, but, they all can have a shared clipboard (at least to some degree).
However, regardless of how many monitors I have, I feel so restrained when I only have 1 workspace/desktop. Makes managing tasks feel so cluttered and tedious.
For my gaming PC, I only have 1 display and intend to keep it that way.

Might be great for custom racing simulator setups where some still use triple monitor setups instead of VR setups... so the monitors are *only* used in the rigs for a single purpose.... but I don't think this would look great on a normal desktop for everyday usage, when most of the time, the prisms are not in use and just look stupid.
