Hope you don't mind the "hijack" Gradius, but I have a question about tinted glass (and I think it's along the lines of your question). I was thinking about tinted glass too, but I was wondering what to do with the bezel (bezel as in printed artwork around the screen). I guess the bezel should go behind the glass (to keep it from being smudged/damaged), but won't the bezel be hard to see then? I was thinking about putting the bezel sandwiched between a layer of clear glass and tinted glass, but that seems so complicated and it might be too weak perhaps? |

good question. And one that I've always wondered about, so I hope someone here can answer it. Hopefully I'll be (finally) starting my cab this summer after years and years of thinking about it. But that issue was always one that I had no experience of. I wonder if because the artwork is so close to the glass on the underside (stuck on) that the tint doesn't affect it. I dunno... anyone? |

I love the way the monitor looks behind dark tinted plexi. There is no reduction in picture quality as far as I can tell. My monitor is about five inches behind the plexi, and the tint makes the picture look like it's sort of floating back there. -S |
