okay get the plastic..its very very good looking..i cant believe how nice it looks with the bezel..you can easyly cut with a knife and fit..my monitor has 19" viewable area,i cut it all the way to fit it..its like a perfect fit..its design to fit 19" but about 17" viewable monitor when its right out the box..but the material is very good..and i mean very very good..i can upload a pic or get the exact size after you cut the bezel all the way.then you can compare the size with the viewable screen of your monitor..i have 21" GEM pc monior in another computer,it fits really well..i tried.so get the bezel at any cost..making one much more painufull then it might sound.DONT TRY AND MAKING YOURSELF..get it..its only like $12.
