I have an old dell 17" lcd I bought at a pawnshop for $70 mounted in a cabaret cabinet(was a Birdie King) the angle is where My eyes and it is nearly verticle plexi makes a bit of glare but It doesn't effect the monitor due to an old piece of tinted plexi behind the first piece. works fine. i haven't had any issues with it, color and contrast both come out fine. |

Also, Blanka, Im going to be putting a clear glass over this not gray. I dont see how that would have any effect, considering if you cant see an lcd from an angle on a COCKTAIL table, I can imagine that a gray glass would make it even harder to see. |

Thanks for the defense CheffoJeffo....Yeah I meant that my monitor is laid pretty darn close to flat and I'm either starin sraight down at it, or at an angle, like a cocktail. While not exactly like a cocktail It's pretty close. I had glare problems and fixed them with tinted plexi, and the veiwing angles are perfect. So I thought I'd chip in something that might help. I know this is for a cocktail, and there are some differences, But since the angle wasn't too different, thought my two cents would be helpful. |
