Title: How to cut excess bezel material that is covering the Screen?
Post by: Timoe on May 17, 2006, 01:55:35 pm

I need advice on how to cut some excess bezel material for my monitor.  Anyone have any ideas?

Here is my situation, I have a 25" HAPPs Bezel.  The outside edges I can cut just fine with a straight edge and a router.  My problem is the interior reveal on the bezel.

It seems to have excess material attached to it.  I dont know how easy it will be to cut and I dont want it to look all jagged.  The cut might have to have a slight curve on it to match the screen

I have attached a drawing to explain the area in question.  It covers part of the screen.

another piece of art

Note:  The bezel is for a 25" monitor.

The monitor is a 25" TV.  The TV screen is BIGGER than the opening in the bezel, just to be clear

I have the same problem making a 19" bezel fit nicely over a 20" arcade monitor.

I haven't had time to look at the problem carefully but i was going to try and hand sand it unless anyone has any better ideas.

Actually, now that I have tried it with the tv on, it doesn't look so bad.

Here are some pictures of the condition.

It's supposed to cover a little bit.  Looks fine here, in those last pictures.
