Bezel Help
« on: October 30, 2015, 10:22:04 am »
I bought a HS5 cabinet with a WG 25" arcade monitor installed in it. For a bezel they used black cardboard cutout which slips over the monitor and seats itself at the very back of the cabinet. The monitor is mounted all the way forward almost touching the glass. I want to get some ideas about buying or making a better bezel. I thought about using 1/2" black foam board and cutting it out to wedge it in and fit it all the way around. The monitor is curved so it would stick out of the foam a little. I would tape the edges up in black tape to cover up the shiny metal. Any ideas on this would be helpful

It looks like the monitor is flush to the back wooden frame, but the monitor sticks out 3" from the wood frame it is mounted too. So I have all this space between the front of the monitor and the mounting frame

Picture of the top now you can see how far out it sits.

I did find that bezel but the size does not seem to match up. The outside width is to narrow and the inside monitor demensions are too far off for some reason.
