Ultra-Wide Curved Monitor 130° Angle Bracket / Clamp / Jig and Bezel Free Kit

This might be a niche item, but here goes anyway. I use a set of Samsung Odyssey G9 ultra-wide curved (1m radius) monitors for flight simulation. When I butt them together, two 1 cm bezels end up right in the middle, making a 2 cm black vertical line. Asus ROG makes a “Bezel Free Kit” that uses a vertical strip Fresnel lens to draw the edge out by about 5 cm and blend the images, making the bezel magically disappear. The kit is intended to blend three flat monitors, but it works well in my setup. It has a cardboard angle guide and two mounts for the top and bottom. The strip works on monitors 40 cm in vertical width or less. The lens works best at 130°. I wasn’t happy with how “Jiggery Pokery” and fiddly it was getting the monitors in the right place, parallel, and held together at precisely 130°. So, I made a clamp.

The clamp holds everything in precisely the right place and strictly at 130°. It consists of two parts: an upper bracket and a lower one. There is a skinny slot in both brackets to support the Fresnel lens and hold it right on the face of the monitor as it should be—the upper slides into a hollow socket on the lower. Two heat insert holes (M5x10x7) are installed in the upper bracket arm, and then, once everything has been squeezed together, the brackets are locked using M5 socket head screws and flat washers. That’s pretty much it. You will want to print these as strongly as possible. It makes two floppy monitors into one 10240 x 1440 display using NVidia Surround.  To hold things close until the clamp engaged, I used a bit of “Gorilla Tape.” 

It works pretty well; you forget it is there within a few minutes. Let’s go flying!

The Asus ROG Bezel Free kit with the wobbly clamps goes for about $100 on Amazon here:

Or you could pay $530 to get one with more substantial clamps here.

Or you could make this design for the price of some filament. If you want to mess with it, I have included STEP files to fit your setup.
