I guess ill call it the black and red plague....??
DeLuSioNal29:
If I were you I'd paint the bezel of the monitor black. You can either take it apart an then put it back together (my preferred choice) or just mask off the front and carefully paint it. Then I would order a custom plexi from Tapp plastics (tinted Solar Grey, 1/8" thick). Then you won't even need to create a bezel and the tinted black plexi will match the theme of the cab. It will look sick.
You can grab it here for under $30 shipped:

To give you an idea of how it would look, I've used this method on my latest cab:

That looks awesome I already grabbed a big sheet of very thick poster board and wanted to see how it came out. The issue for me is that the plexi glass is not flush with monitor and I have to get creative with angles and what not. If I cant figure it out ill drop the $30.

I agree with DeLuSioNal29 about painting the bezel black (on the back side) of the glass. D29 mentions buying from Tapp plastics which I know alot of people on here do, but I would also throw out there that if you have a local glass shop, you could give them your dimensions and get smoked tempered glass for about $20 more which I think looks quite a bit better and supports local businesses. Just throwing another idea out there. Looks great so far!
(Edit: just noticed your comment about the poster board and tilted monitor. I would still suggest smoked tempered glass and you could still "case" out the bezel however you wanted, best of luck!)

What I meant was painting the actual edges (bezel) of the monitor itself, not the plexi/glass. With the smoked plexi installed, you won't even see the edges of the monitor. Problem solved.
