Custom Monitor Bezel

(1/1)

mytymaus007:
Im looking for a custom size monitor bezel for 20 inch LCD 4:3 size not wide screen

iscariot:
I think there's a thread here on how to make your own bezel.  That one works and looks great.

capsule:
This one? http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,17175.0.html

I used the same monitor type.  But since monitors are flat these days I ended up just making a flat bezel from black poster board.  I cut the opening using an x-acto knife and a straight edge.  But I also needed some wood trim on the sides just to hold it down flat (as the poster board wasn't so thick so it wanted to buckle a little).

I had looked at those threads on making your own, which looked great, but which also had a curve to match CRT's.  For an LCD you won't want it to curve where it meets the monitor.
