Title: Bezel : Arcade 25" should fit a 25" TV?
Post by: gregor7777 on November 04, 2004, 04:45:44 pm

Are they the same sizes and interchangeable with minor modification? Wondering if I should pick one up for my 25" TV?

Any help is appreciated.

Think it depends greatly on the TV.  I have a 25" bezel, and it fits perfectly on my 25" TV.  Newer screens have started becoming more flat, so the shape of the bezel won't fit it as well.

Hmmm, mine is old, like 1990 or so...I think i'll give it a shot then. Creating my own custom one had been a huge pain with lackluster results.

I got mine from 123gumby on ebay.  He deals with arcade parts.  He had a few extra, and his shipping costs are considerably lower than Happ's.  I don't know if he has more or not, I just happened to ask him if he did.

A 25" monitor bezel will fit any NORMAL 25" tv tube, Note the NORMAL part. It won't fit a Trinitron tube, it won't fit a flat tube or semiflat tube, but it will fit a NORMAL tube.

Also, notice how I said TUBE and not TV. You aren't going to be able to purchase any bezel that will fit your TV, you have to decase it in order to correctly use the bezel. Otherwise it is floating an inch above the tube and accomplishing nothing other than looking bad.

Even decasing a TV scares me. I'm technically proficient...it's maybe because I've never done it before.

I'd REALLY like to use the tube and put an arcade monitor chassis in there, but I'm too afraid of being killed. :)

Have to bite the bullet either way I guess, I don't have the cash for an arcade monitor.
