Hey guys, spent a little time on the bezel setup today, Just placed the braces in the cab to have a look how much spacing i would have between them and the monitor. The bottom brace will not be screwed to the cabinet as it is too thin, instead I will tack it to the front of the monitor shelf. I am leaning towards using 1 piece of cardboard, cutting the screen shape out, wrapping it around the monitor and stapeling a lip to the left and right side of the cabinet (fold lip backwards so that stapels will not be seen) I can do this easily because there is no vertical curve in the monitor (being a trinitron) This will still leave a gap between the braces and the bezel as can be seen in this pic: I was thinking of filling the gap with black foam that will mold to the shape of the cardboard. I also manageed to solve the fact my piece of perspex was too short by finding a skirting board, the lip on it is the exact distance i needed. Now with the 2 braces in I can actually visualise the $2 style bezel working as i can now take some measurements and see how to finish the bezel edges around the cabinet and the braces. Thanks guys, keep you all posted. ginno... |

Hi Richard, The best solution I found was TailGunners $2 Bezel idea. Basically in the end I made the bezel from cardboard. Using a sony trinitron meant i could not purchase a plastic bezel as the have a curve vertically whereas the TV does not. Basically from there it was trial and alot of error, |

That's very helpful - cheers! I'm definately going to use some of your ideas to help me with my own bezel & monitor mounting. Many apologies for the massive delay before my reply! For some reason I didn't get a "thread updated" email, so I assumed there had been no reply. Thanks again, Richard |
