Bezel fitting/alignment problems! (Happ's 27" bezel w/Toshiba 27A33 TV)
MiKman:
I had the same problem with my 27" RCA TV. I was going to just remove the TV casing then I thought otherwise. Here is what I did: I got myself some 1" wide black velcro (not generic stuff, real velcro brand) and stuck the stiff side of vlecro strip to the TV along the egde where the glass meets the casing. Then I took the fuzzy side of the velcro strip and stuck it on the bezel along the inner edge. Now the Bezel sticks right to the TV exactly where I want it. It even looks pretty good, as soon as I get a tinted peice of glass to put in front of it all you will never even notice it at all. Just my 2 cents.

Would you recommend this method over cutting a 25" bezel?
MiKman:
I think so, especially if you plan on putting a tinted peice of glass in front of the whole thing. I guess there are some drawbacks, the TV now has velcro stuck to it but I was never going to use the TV for anything else anyhow... here are a couple of pictures that might show you what mine looks like, sorry they are older I don't have a digital camera otherwise I would show a closer more detailed one for you. (no glass in front of it yet). Also my TV is silver and not black so you can see how well it covers the TV's case...
MiKman:
The other drawback is that lots of dust and stuff can get between the bezel and the TV in the velcro because the bezel doesn't sit tight against the glass like it would on a real arcade monitor. But once I get the glass in front of it then the dust and crumbs from my kids won't be a problem...

That does look really, really good. You can't see what TV what-so-ever.
However I think in my case it wouldn't come out quite as nice because my TV is exposed by somewhere between 1/4" and 1/2". Perhaps if I used velcro it would stay in place, but I'm not sure...
I was actually going to use velcro regardless to hold the bezel onto the TV so thats not really an issue. My only concern is that I have too much TV case exposed to force/bend the bezel to stay in place like that.
