Title: Bezel ideas for 27 inch Sony wega flatscreen fully cased
Post by: lisowskikevin on February 09, 2015, 06:55:27 pm: Hey guys, based on experience can someone give me advice about what kind of bezel works well for them? I have a Sony wega 27 inch flatscreen that I left in the case and i am trying to figure out a good looking bezel option.

I know there are many options like paper wood etc, what are your experiences?

Thanks for any insight!

I've slipped the plexi sheet edges inside the clamp so it holds them together tight, and currently have a black sheet of paper between the two pieces of plexi. In the middle of the black sheet I've cut out the part that shows the actual display, thus it looks seamless.

This is what I mean regarding cutting the paper:

This is similar to the type of thing I'm using to keep the plexi tight:
