Who is using a 27" 4:3 TV or Arcade Monitor and what do you think of it?

Ya, It will be tinted glass for sure.  I can get tempered tinted/smoked glass here locally cheaper than I can plexi :)  The glass bezel for my DK cabinet was $26 for tempered and smoked/tinted.

How did you do it? I though the Defender cabinet was too narrow for a 27" tube?

I have a 27" Wells Gardner D9200 in a scratch-build cabinet and it is quite nice, although not perfect (imperfect color in one corner).

I also have a 27" monitor Frankensteined  together with a 27" TV set mated to a 25" Sharp Image chassis. Wonderful picture, but it has huge scan lines.

I have a Nieman Displays 27″ Flat Tri-Mode CRT in my cabinet (a scratch built Tempest based design). I love it. Mine is mounted more upright and I do not feel that I am too close to the screen.

You can see how I mounted it and what it looks like in my project thread.

I have a 27" (US - 29" Japanese, 68cm Europe) monitor in an MK2, and it feels a fine size, but I'm a bit used to somewhat more modern games than most people on here consider "classics".  MK2 itself is hardly a "classic" by most definitions, but it was designed for a 25" monitor, and the 27" barely fits.  You can tell it's bigger, especially if you've played the same cab on a 25" recently, but it doesn't feel out of place at all.

I use a Dotronix 27" DSV Series Monitor (purchased referb'd many years ago from GGG) in a custom built cab. It's never had a perfect picture and it's low res, but for most games it looks very authentic. The low resolution does not do well for vector graphic games. The size is fantastic - horizontal games are huge and vertical games are as big as their original 19".
