Hi Guys
I now have a 25" TV to use in my cab. Just measured the screen diagonally and it measures 610mm, which is just over 24" (I've never understood that about TVs..they say it's 25" but it's really not ?). Anyway, I thought about buying a 25" Bezel from Happ, but am worried that it will be too big and not cover my TV 'frame' correctly. Has anyone else used a Happ Bezel for thier TV and had problems fitting it?. Woud I be wiser just making the excellent posterboard bezel that I've seen in one of the threads on this board?
Cheers guys
Craig

Be careful... I've had a lot of trouble with my Bezel's from Happ's. It's not their fault, but I overlooked quite a few things...
I wouldn't be too worried about the 25" being too big. If it is, just use regular scissors to cut away from the inside of the bezel. Their might be a better way than to use scissors though, but they seem to work fine on the plastic.
One big problem I ran into is that the 25" bezel fit my TV just fine, but the outside part of the bezel wasn't sized big enough so it left a LOT of my cabinet exposed. You might want to check on this before you get the bezel only to find it doesn't fit the cabinet.
By the way, I'm using LuSiD's design...

Ok thanks for that. I may just get one, they have a sale on bezels at the moment, thin'k they're around $10+, but I'll check out our Happ UK (Europe) to make sure
Thanks again

email happ for exact dimensions of their bezel, and then compare to your tv. I have emailed them with odd questions in the past and have gotten responses that really helped me make decisions.
