So I am a portrait orientated whore. Many of you know me for my copy cat debezzeled 5x1 Vegamatic display setup that shook the entire planet a half degree off its rotational axisa few years ago.

So now I am back. Back with three Rog Swifts begging to be debezelled and a tool drawer full of hammers, electrical tape and flat head screw drivers! So is there hidden gold to be found underneath the Rog Swifts Plastic Backside? Will the plundered bezelless booty be worth the warranty voiding risk? I will answer all of those intriguing questions soon, but first a word from our sponser...CHIIIIIWWWAAAAAWWWWAAAAAHHH BEEER....when you feeling thirsty grab a chiiiiiiwwwwaaaaaaawwwwaaaaahhhhh!!!!
Ok that was great, thank you chiiiwwwaaaawwaaaah beer, your sponsership keeps me intoxicated 24-7....so first things first. Take your Swift, spin it around and remove the rubber stoppers from its backside. This will reveal the phillips head screws and allow you to detach it from the adjustable stand.

Once all four screws are removed, you can see that its a clean break. Interesting to see the connections for the power to the red ring base, please do not attempt to lick the exposed metal connections while the monitor is still plugged no matter how tempted you are! VESA freaks take note that once the screws are out you can easily connect the swift to your own freakish VESA stand of your perverted choosing.

Next there is a single small screw filling up a blow hole on the base of the display, unscrew this sucker and try and refrain from swallowing it as you may want to save it as a snack for later.

Now your ready to punch yourself in the nuts! The Swift Bezel is like no other...meaning its a real pain in the fucking ass. You have to gently (or not so gently if thats your bag) wedge some flat screw heads in between the face of the bezel.

After working several of the screw heads into the face of the bezel, you can begin to pry the entire assembly free. At this point you will want to keep other foreign objects wedged into areas that you have already pried free as this will prevent the bezel from popping back into the base and ensure that the game of wack a bezel is not needlessly dragged on. I found that wedging the handle size of sizzors into the exposed areas was both dangerous and progressively exciting for keeping my debezell popping progress on track!

After some bloody mishaps some real progress is made and you can sort of begin to lift the entire screen assembly out of the bezel casing....but then you notice how everything is looslely connected inside like a spider web from hell and then begin to second guess the eight shots of patron and five chiiiiwaaahhhhwaaahhh lights that you have taken in so far. And then you begin to realize that humpty dumpty may be a real pain in the ass to put back together again....all the while as you are teetering over the point of no return you sense Gerard Butler hovering behind you in a creepy mask, calling you Christine....Christine....you dirty.......

Being a dumbass that always errors off the side of stupidity....I had a moment of lucid relaps and realized that the entire debezelling process is completly fucking futile with the Rog Swift because THERE IS NO BEZEL to remove. Because of the way they designed the display casing, it sits inside a bezel exoskeleton and that bezel exoskeleton is not the problem....the actual metallic bezel case on the bottom of the display is fatter than on the top and sides, so even if you remove the display casing it still has that big fat area...so its bezel inception and unless you are Callsign Vega and willing to perform some serious surgery and open up the actual display casing (NOT RECOMMENDED) then you are wasting your time

I hope you enjoyed wasting your time reading this futile mess as much as I hated doing it!
