Spacing between plexiglass and monitor

[greywolf22]

Hey all,

This may be a really idiotic question, but out of curiosity about how much space should there be between the smoked plexiglass and the monitor? Is there a certain depth that is preferable? Just curious.  Thanks for all the great advice as always

Not sure if I can give a correct answer, but all of my dedicated cabs have about 2 inches between the monitor and the glass.  I don't think it makes a real difference, just don't rest the glass right on the monitor glass.  X

Thanks, that's exactly the type of information I was looking for.

Does it matter if the glass is *very* close to the glass (like a few mm)?  I just realised when I put my monitor in the other day that it is going to be a bit closer to the glass than I intended...

i would imagine that the plexi can even touch the glass--its all transparent--you wouldn't even notice the closeness if the plexi was clean--

Be very careful. Glass against glass contact may permanently scratch your monitor. It happened to me.

Mine has about five inches or so, which I think looks pretty neat. Looks like the video is just kind of floating back there.

I have my monitor about 1" away.. maybe even less. Definately NOT touching. Looks great though, I like it closer.

Thanks for the tips, I don't think it will quite be touching, but very close.  I can't tell exactly until I get the glass cut (the MDF test piece I made has warped into a half-pipe!)
