LCD plexiglass, acryllic, glass?

[tman78]

I originally posted this in monitors/videos, but realized this should be on main board, so sorry for cross-posting.

I've read through several posts where people talk about using plexiglass, acryllic, real glass, etc for the monitor cover.
Despite my research, I'm not any closer to making a decision.

I have a cabinet that will have a 27inch LCD.  So is there one material that seems to work better with LCDs?  Do I need it smoked or tinted? 

If I go with glass, how do I mount, same as plexiglass, velcro-back the edge, or go with screws (the glass can be ordered with holes cut).  I'm concerned the heavier weight of a tempered glass will mean velcro won't hold up long-term...

As for a bezel, i just plan to spraypaint the backside of the cover to produce a bezel like look.

Thanks,
Taylor
