I am looking for a sleak and nice-looking monitor with thin bezels. I am planning on going double or triple monitor setup later, so that's why I am looking for thin bezels. I found the R240HY as a good budget yet bezel less display. I don't need the best reaction time or anything, it wil be mostly for production usage and the odd casual game. Anyway, after some research I came across the Acer R240HY as I said before. However, Amazon does not ship this monitor to The Netherlands. My questions is if anyone knows a good alternative? Price range would be <$200.
Thanks in advance!

So this has gotten tougher since the takeover of IPS panels

Most "bezelless" or "frameless' montiors have no frames, but the screen does not actually display from edge to edge, it still has 12mm to even 30mm of gap between the end of the screen display vs the end of the monitor. Thus making the money spent on frameless seem pointless. Half the "frameless" monitors actually have wider gap then the older ones once you put the side to side.
Even worse that many have some sort of bump at the bottom of the casing (for some stupid reason more monitors are trying to embed micro sized speakers in them that sound like abolsute crap).

Add to the fact that most of these frameless IPS panels do not provide any sort of VESA mounting and any nice...

Add to the fact that most of these frameless IPS panels do not provide any sort of VESA mounting and any nice double/tripple mounting solution is 100x better using one base on the desk and arms connecting to the monitors.

So VESA capabile true edge to edge screens are hard to find and not cheap. Best "value" i have found is dell ultrasharps and a 23" of those is around $250 USD

Unfortunatly the stock images of these monitors are very deceptive and they show a photoshoped image stretching across the screen.
The real customer images though tell a different story. Now this model has a smaller gap then some of the ones I have seen (would guess around 10-12mm), but still a noticable gap for your double/tripple monitor setup.....and no VESA options.
