Title: Angle of Monitor and Bezel
Post by: GAtekwriter on November 03, 2007, 10:57:05 am

I'm going to have to angle my monitor upwards a bit for the players and am open to suggestions from the group.  More importantly, I'm a little concerned about later fitting the bezel.  Obviously if I have to angle the monitor too much, the bezel will have an open area near the upper portion (a space between bezel and monitor top).  Anyone ever had this problem and have a solution?

Thanks!

Jim

I would build a frame if I were you.   And then mount it up higher to your liking.

When I build mine, I just eyed it up and stayed consistent.   Its all personal preference anyway.

The main and only thing to consider is the fact that you have to make it deep enough to clear your speakers.   Also keeping it easy enough to remove your bezel around the tv.   But again, trial an error can give you great results.
