Bezel for an LCD

[Nemss316]

I've been looking around at a few sites for a bezel for a 19" LCD. I've found one through Happ $10, but I don't need anything else, and you need $25 to order.

Other than ebay, can someone recommend a site that sells bezels?

Look in the B/S/T forum for divemaster's thread. He can get anything Happ sells and has better shipping than Happ does.

Nemss316,

     You can goto a craft store and get foam board any colour and just cut it to what you need.  It will cost between $2-$10 depending on thickness.  Most foam board will have a white back, white foam inside and colour front.  The colour front usually comes in a matte finish.  If you can't have any white showing on the inside edges, there are black ones all the way through as well.  Don't use marker to colour the inside foam because it will shrivel up the foam.  (You can form the foam and actually bevel the edges quite nicely with practice using a magic marker).  This reply is only for a do it yourself solution.

Use matte board.  It's like $3 for a sheet.  Cut it with a straightedge and razor - it looks GREAT.

Seconded. Foam board or mountboard/posterboard. tape it to the upper and lower edges of your perspex/glass and you're good to go, plus you can show/hide as much of the monitor's actual bezel as you want.

If you have the tools, just cut one out of wood, thenround off the inner edge and use an arced router bit for a nice wooden bezel.

Just paint the glass. Use tape to keep the hole clear.
