Can Tinted Glass/Plexi Allow for no Bezel?

Lewis Black:

I spraypaint a bezel on the back of the glass using masking tape.  Works fantastic, it's cheap, and it's easy.  It also looks nicer than a black bezel in my experience.

BadMouth:

I think a couple of you are missing the point of the original post.

The goal is to have the monitor rotate for horizontal and vertical games and have the bezel look perfect for both.


VanillaGorilla:

You could use dark grey or dark amber tinted plexi. you would need to have some distance between the plexi and the display, as much as you can live with. The depth of field will help obscure the lcd casing/mechanics. paint the interior everywhere around the display with flat black, non-relective paint. Hopefully you have a SIPS LCD panel, and can crank the contrast up really high. Imperative because you need to cut thru the dark plexi. You are limited to how dark your plexi can be, by how bright your LCD is.

Exactly right.  I don't have a bezel on my DK and you can't tell even if you are looking for it.  The screen is of course quite a ways from the plexiglas though.
