One thing, the children already know to pull their climb such a large furniture. I will not be stored or toys around, you may need to be fixed to the wall...

Finally got the Plexi over the monitor:




Cut to the perfect size by TAP Plastics http://www.tapplastics.com/. Literally pulled it out the shipping container, peeled off the protective paper, and popped it into place.

It's their Solar Grey Acrylic. It's a LITTLE darker than I'd like, but even without masking the back it's hard to see through it to the mounting brackets. And as you can see, the AimTrack bar shines through just fine.

I still might find some small quarter-round trim to frame it a little more, but as is I think it looks alright.

I should have done that instead of tinting my own.  Looks good!  How much did you pay for the glass?

Traded it for a few cellphones with a coworker... He paid $ ~32 shipped from california to south carolina.
