The edge of the fading screen: Is it just a noise?

“Edge” of a screen or TV is the frame around the screen that displays a visual image. Over the years, the desire for the edges of insomnia and insomnia has reached an unreasonable level at times, and to pay to eliminate them completely not faded.

However, why do we care a lot about the extent of the frame around our screens? There are some reasonable reasons, but in other cases it may be a little ridiculous.

A brief history of the edges

Uses home TVs and subsequent CRT or later computer screens or Cathode Technology to create pictures. The main part of the CRT screen is a large, heavy glass and lead tube, making these shows heavy and fragile. So it is not surprising that these TVs need thick and solid situations, which leads to a large frame.

This is the late 1990s to the early 2000s Trinitron 34 inches, and although the screen ratio to the biclille is somewhat appropriate, this is still a largely chunky frame.

It does not mind that, because moving this screen around it, it feels rocky anxiety, and the same applies to my TV, which weighs 150 lbs, which is important from three people at best to move.

Things became much better through flat screens, but although the edges on my first 19 -inch LCD screen were not minimal by any means. The edges on the Ultrawide Daily-VRIVERY 34-inch driver are present, but most of the screen can actually display.

When we reach devices like M4 MacBook Pro, the edges have been practically gone. The only reason that makes the upper edge more essential is to absorb the compact webcam.

Not only the best current screens, using techniques like Mini-OLE, almost without a frame, they are also incredibly thin. It was not easy to achieve, but it is clear that the engineers had been pushed to reduce the edges according to customers. What asks the question – why did we ask that in the first place?

The first reason I can think about the value for money. If you bought a 17 -inch screen but only 15 of that oblique inch can be displayed, this is somewhat similar to cheating. That is why, with screens and TVs over the years, quote the specifications of the total measurement and the display area.

While there are flat panels, for example, laptops may have remained the same size, the size of the effective screen has increased without increasing the size of the device. This is a better deal in itself, not reckoning how the quality of the actual image has improved.

But the edges not only occupy material space, but can also change how to realize the image. Thin edge provides a more immersive experience, because we do not see the frame around the image. It is the same reason that people prefer the windows without limits or pictures of the edge to the edge: our brains are interpreted as more expanding and modern.

It also seems that people connect the edges of insomnia and more simplicity with more advanced and distinguished technology. It seems as if you can just look at the “chin” of the phone and know if it is a cheap model for beginners or the pioneer.

When the edges already matter

The edges do not revolve only about aesthetics, whether thick or thin, they can serve a practical purpose and have different effects on the ability to use different types of devices. For example, the iPad Pro has a relatively thick frame compared to my MacBook, but unlike Mac, I am supposed to carry the device while using it, and the edges give me something to hold without blocking the screen.

However, the tablet and the modern phone and the modern phone are very thin, and software and hardware engineers were forced to reach some of the technology of rejecting advanced touch that you never noticed because it works well.

If you are using screens in a multi -observer setting, it is usually a good idea to search for screens with a thinner frame, because this can make the experience more smooth. Although I personally, I moved to a great mind, with a single satin screen for peripheral information such as emails, instead of being in the vision center.

The future of the edges

The technology industry is constantly tries to erase the edges completely. We have seen cracks with cracks, hole cameras, and even Display sensors-all try to increase real estate on the screen. TV makers do the same, and they pay the designs as the image appears to be rich without limits.

But will the edge disappear completely? Well, it is already possible and has already happened. For example, Samsung sells a very thin frame of 1.8 mm. The idea is that you can build huge video walls using these paintings, and in normal distances these thin edges will not be visible. LG also collected less than the edge (Via techradarWhere you can pay two screens together and look smoothly like one screen.

There are electrical contacts around the edges of the zero big In the future, this may be the way we get larger screens without having to buy a 110 -inch screen or larger. No more try to get one large screen through the door, and what about the ability to upgrade your TV later with more paintings? This is an interesting idea!


After saying this, I do not think that the screens that are not an edge will be common at all. Simply for practical reasons. To make offers practical to deal with one thing, and we still need a field for ingredients such as cameras or antennas, there will always be a little frame about beautiful pictures.
