I mean, I get it, I like small bezels too, but it's pretty low on the list...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right, there's definitely a threshold... but we're not anywhere near it. Like I said I have the FW13, and my wife has a similar sized Dell XPS. There's less than half an inch difference. The Dell has almost no bezel... and fingerprints on the display all along the edge from having to open and close it. And the bezel on the top of the FW has hardware switches for disabling the mic and webcam which is probably why it's bigger in the first place.

Actually, larger bezels are more ergonomic because they give the eyes a 'frame' so they can focus better, especially for 3D content.

I hate frameless displays with a passion for that reason.

This makes zero sense. What do you think "ergonomic" means?

they give the eyes a 'frame' so they can focus better

That sounds like something you just made up.
