Title: bronzetone plexiglass
Post by: Popcorrin on November 21, 2003, 08:54:54 pm

I saw a sheet of this at the local hardware store. I was wondering if anyone else has used this for their bezel and how it turned out.  I have seen posts about the improved picture people have gotten with smoked plexiglass and was hoping maybe this would have the same effect.  Then again I suppose the bronze coloring could screw up the color on the monitor.

I bought some bronze from Tap Plastics - it is awesome...defintately recommended...

The cool part is that it makes the monitor harder to see, but when it is turned on, all is good with the world.

Thanks for the input Soslo.  I just picked up some tonite.  Can't wait to get it mounted. ;)

I also used bronze plexi and I'm really happy with it.  The guy at my local glass shop was so geeked about what I was using it for, he cut two pieces for me, one bronze and one grey then drove them over to my house for a test.  We tried them both and the bronze looked  better to me.  If I make another cab I'm sure I'll go with bronze again.
