Can we have a bezel with internal round corners?

This has been mentioned in another topic about the new Ultra 13" and does make sense.

Introducing the new Framework Laptop 13 with Intel Core Ultra Series 1 processors

Now we need a new rounded bezel to fit the new screen

…now that the new screen has rounded corners (and no pixels would be obscured) maybe it’s time to re-visit this discussion? A rounded bezel with a rounded display would look much more seamless overall.

FYI Framework’s CEO stated that they decided against doing that.

We thought about introducing rounded bezels to match it, but didn’t want to introduce bezel fragmentation.

Panel fragmentation vs bezel fragmentation. The panel provides a functional improvement, whereas bezel wouldn’t. I guess.

It would provide the benefit of making me happy Perhaps other customers too. I know I’m just one customer, but I think it would go a long way to making the fit and finish closer to that of other manufacturers.

Having a rectangular bezel that lets you see the rounded display is very obvious and looks pretty bad. Framework could keep 99% of the bezel the same, just a different mould.

Hi and welcome.

This has been discussed. The main issue would seem to be that the screen is only a temp solution and one without rounded corners should be around the corner and even if not soon: the creation of a new mold would cost a bit ?? and then how many bezels to make ?? ~ for what may be a temp use of a rounded corner screen.

If it is really an eyesore I’m sure a user can modify the bezel by adding bits.

See other posts etc.

Updated bezel to match 2.8K screen corners

Very excited for the new 120Hz screen! Admittedly it’s a bit against the ethos of reusability, but has making a bezel that matches the rounded corners of the screen been considered? I’d order one to match if it was available.
