Title: 27" bezels on sale at Happ's
Post by: somunny on December 08, 2004, 10:56:33 pm
Just picked one up for $11.25.  At the very least it makes the shipping less painful.

Anyone??? I'm looking at buying 3 of these but I'm not totally sure they will fit correctly (27 inch Toshiba TV in a UAII cab). For 11.00 apiece, I'm willing to take a chance but don't want to be completely screwed by shipping.

Shipping was approximately $17, as I recall.  Steep, yes, but there aren't too many options out there regarding these bezels.  ups.com says I'm getting mine today...

!!!WARNING!!
BE CAREFUL!
!!!WARNING!!

when I ordered mine a year+ ago it was $47  shipping for a $15 item!!!!

!!!WARNING!!

When you order, I hear you can select shipping options... One is SUPER expensive for the 27" because its considered an oversized item!  Make sure that you select the right shipping... You might want to call to order this!

I have a 27" toshiba and this bezel. It is a very close fit but not 100% perfect unless you decase your TV.

I paid $12 UPS shipping from Happs 2 weeks ago from them in Illinois to Colorado when they went on sale. It fits real well but not 100% perfect with the UAII cab and Toshiba TV. It will never be perfect. Of course, they come oversized so you will have to trim it to fit.

So is the bezel opening too large so that you see some of the TV case or too small so that some of the screen is masked?

Yup... what pissed me off

if they used a different carrier... it would have been 12 bucks...  But their default at the time (still??) was VERY expensive because it was considered oversized... And I didn't know after I received it.

IE, just make sure they don't ship it the expensive way..

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

THis board needs a giant honking sticky explaining that arcade bezels are not for computer monitors or for televisions in the cases. A bezel that doesn't fit looks worse than no bezel at all.

While those bezels may not be specifically made for anything other than an arcade monitor, it certainly doesn't mean they won't fit.  I used a bezel on my 27" NEC monitor and it fit like a glove.

The Toshiba TV you are using looks to be about the same model that I used. When I was test mounting with TV in case, it will not fit exactly snug on all 4 edges so upon very close examination you can see the slight edge of the TV case at top or bottom depending on  which one you choose to be snug. Sides were snug.

I sincerely hope this response does not upset paigeoliver....as that is not my intention.
