I don't think you understand the issue, It doesn't matter to me if the black bezel is cutting into my turned off BLACK screen. It matters when the screen is ON and blocking content. 🤦‍♂️
Did you see my reply to the OP? Do you think my screen protector might solve your issue with the bezel covering the screen when on?

Hmm, it might I just can't know unless I had the phone in front of me and I was checking it, it does indeed look pretty edge to edge, you would just have to do some testing on your end to see if it is covering edges of usable screen. Here's a good test image you can reference (Just save it), it's contents are meaningless but see if your protector cuts into the letters and numbers on the right side of screen without tilting your phone to the side. use photo editor and rotate a few times to check your left side. Let me know how that goes or take pics full brightness head on.

It doesn’t cut anything off on the left or sides.

I'm confused on why you sent a screenshot back... I'm not saying your screen won't show you the full image, I know you dont have a chopped off OLED panel. I'm talking about the literal black bezel coming from the screen protector covering over your display. If you were going to post any picture it would be of your PHYSICAL device with this image loaded up. It's like someone sending a screenshot saying their glass is cracked.

No, that’s not the same thing! Geez, I realize you think I’m an idiot, this is evident from all your messages to me, when all I’ve been trying to do is offer a recommendation of the screen protector I use, as it has a very thin black bezel that doesn’t interfere with the screen. I loaded the image you asked me to, then I took a screenshot cuz it literally looks the SAME as your image loaded on my phone BEFORE I took the screenshot. I immediately noticed how close the right side numbers were to the edge, and the screenshot shows the same. It’s the SAME. I guess your deal with the black bezel goes beyond this issue, though, so I’m sorry for trying to help. Good luck in your search.

Ah I see, sorry for being an ass, and thanks for trying to help with the issue, I will have to check that screen protector out then if you say you had no issues seeing stuff without it cutting in.

Thanks. I’m particular about things, too, which is why I was trying to help. I def’n would not have sent a screenshot if any of the text was cut off on the sides. Like I said, I noticed right away that the numbers on the right side were very close to the edge of my screen, but I inspected it closely to make sure the 0’s weren’t cut off. There’s a hair width of space between the 0’s and the edge of my screen, and the screenshot is exactly the same. So yes, I think the Maxboost Edge to Edge is worth checking out!

Using a full screen, black edged Zagg on my 11 PM. Works like a charm.
I was leary of getting it into the case I am using but fit in under the lip perfectly. Both my wife and I have identical phones, screen protector, and cases. No problems.
