I've never seen it personally, but it's not as dark and my installation looks good so no need to hide anything. I should try without any glass for a while, see how my eyes like/dislike it...

Yeah, ultimately it's just going to be a matter of preference.  And perhaps the lighting conditions around your games (highly lit room? Tint might be better).

FWIW, my cabinet has a piece of clear glass tinted with 27% light transparency film. I tried 16% originally but found it was too dark.

The best bet is to get a sample from your glazier and see which suits your cabinet/monitor best.

That's a very handsome profile... good work!
Jurykov:
I understand that this discussion is mostly about tinted versus non tinted, but does anyone have any advice on glass thickness?  Is there any reason to go with 1/4" over 1/8"?  1/8" should be cheaper right?  Would 1/8" glass be strong enough for an application of this size (cover a monitor)?

Steve B.:
I picked up a generic cab and that came with 1/8" tempered glass. It's about 23" x 20" and was meant for a 19" monitor so I'm not sure if you would have to go thicker for a larger monitor.
