Bezel Compensation 

The bezel compensation setting compensates for the gaps between monitors in the video 

wall array. The bezel compensation sizes the image slightly larger than the visible screen 

to make the images on adjacent monitors line-up correctly. 

The bezel settings are set using the smartOSD (Section 4.1) or OSD menu (Section 4.1).
