Would like to find three 27inch monitors with an ultra thin bezel for a gaming display...Anyone have a brand or model number?

Although both of them seem to be misleading, as the distance from the edge of image to outer edge of the monitor is larger than the advertised bezel width.

and from what I gathered in the couple mins I was looking, the AOC one is worse.

Well no that's understandable and I think pretty much accepted as given, but when they specifically advertise X.Xmm bezel, or make a big deal about having slim bezels, you don't necessarily expect to suddenly have another 12mm black border between the edge of image and the bezel itself as well.
It's stupid what they're allowed to get away with in advertising.

Funny you should mention that there are sites in some countries that have stopped selling them in case they get sued or something and I agree that they should sell what they advertise, I have been looking around myself for a nice IPS monitor and saw that the Asus and LG monitors are supposed to go right to the edge but don't which sucks, but where they can semi get away with it is the fact that the plastic bezel is very slim but they SHOULD NOT show the pictures on the monitors going right to the edge of the bezel which is false advertising.

i think they get away with it because the screen does go to the edge but the "view-able" screen doesn't.
