I just need to throw this out here becasue its on my mind... Im no where near this in my project, but its always the thing I keep thinking of.... I'm building a showcase cabinet and just picked up a nice 32" TV for inside (using s-video connections) - But its a silver TV Once I put the TV in the cabinet and put plexi over the top to cover it up... How do I hide the silver frame of the TV? My options need to include something that: 1) Doesn't let any of the siliver show from different angles (it will be a huge 48" control panel) 2) Doesn't mask anything over the picture tube.. (dont want to loose picture!) Things I've thought of doing.. 1) Paint the back of the plexi black for all except for the screen. a) just not sure how I'd get accurate enough w/out letting some silver show thru... or I dont want to go too far in on the sides to cover the screen. b) Will the plexi be able to take a slight 'bend' without cracking the paint? 2) Paint the TV Black.. so it blends in with the black on the plexi....? (dont really want to do this) I need ideas guys... I keep thinking of this part of the project every day - - and I'm coming up blank with ideas.... ??? |

Yup, I used black electrical tape for my white computer monitor (looks great IMHO), black foamcore (presentation board) for the bezel, and grey tempered glass. Turned out really nice. |

For a more professional look, I would tape off the monitor and paint the case (at least the front). You might be able to unscrew the case from the back and take the front off for painting. Just another sugguestion... Southpaw |
