if you have bought a betson imperial 27" monitor bezel...

[Flinkly]

could you give me the exact width and height?  i asked the company, and they just guestimated because they don't have one there to measure.  i asked again, but i guess this is a major inconvinience to open one up for me to check...any help is appreciated.

I don't know the exact measurements (and I'm not near my machine), but I just bought the monitor bezel from Happs and it seems to fit the monitor perfectly (though I haven't mounted it completely yet).  I think even though it's the 27 inch monitor, I bought the 25 inch bezel as the screen itself is 25 inches (as far as I remember anyways..it's been awhile since I purchased).

Dude, it fits a 27" monitor, what else do you need to know? They come way oversize so you can cut them down to fit your cabinet.

If you have an real actual 27" standard tube then it is going to fit. If you don't, then it won't.

actually, i was thinking of making the width of my cabinet the same as my bezel, so in theory, i'd be creating my cabinet around my bezel...but i never even thought about cutting it down to fit my cab....i think it's made of plastic so i could if i wanted, i could.  i was only asking because it's going to be a week or two before my bezel comes in to the betson near me, but i wanted to start on my cab before it got here.  thanks for the help again guys, since i'm always missing the easy answer.

It is really easy to cut them down. REALLY easy. You won't have any trouble.

That monkey claw might end up being 4 feet wide, so don't build the cab around the bezel.

just to make sure though, the guy estimated it at 25" by 27", does that sound right for a 27" arcade monitor?  also, i'm kinda worried about making a cab and then cutting down the bezel, because what if the sides are...disproportional?  like if the top black edges are huge while the side black edges are skinny?  sorry for all the questions, but i just don't want to mess this up when i'm so close to the end...thanks for all the help too, paige.


just for knowledge, i've got a 27" kortek multisync (if you need to know)

A properly installed monitor bezel should be essentially invisible. You shouldn't notice it at all, regardless of sizes.

Although if you really have it like you said then you made your monitor bay an inappropriate size.
