Smoked Plexi
Senator:
So, I think I f'ed up. I got frustrated chasing down some smoked plexi, after 3 local shops found some 1/4 inch (which I think I need since it is primarily a Golden Tee machine) but it is a "bronze" color. Anybody ever use this color? I cant tell if it even matters, dark enough that it doesnt really show.
Thoughts?
ARTIFACT:
"SMOKED GRAY" is what people usually recommend... that's what I got and I like it.
I think Bronze is going to tint your screen colors quite a bit
good luck
Kangum:
there was a long thread awhile back on the whole smoked plexie thing. I guess if you order anywhere wether it be online or at a local shop "smoked plexie" you will get bronze by default.
the smoked grey that artifact spoke of is the correct thing to ask for not smoked plexie. i think the bronze you have will fubber up your colors.
Joystick Jerk:
Although it will change the colours a bit, you can always compensate for that if your monitor has individual RGB controls. Since the bronze colour adds a bit of red to the image, adjust the red pot until colours return to normal.
Saying that, why are you using plexi to cover your monitor? I nice piece of glass at typical arcade size can be had for less than $40 if you shop around.

Because a nice arcade sized piece of plexi only costs like $20 and is much safer and easier to work with
