The end is near.....glass or plexi?

Oldskool:

Here's a pic of what it turned out like (with the 35% glass)

The monitor doesn't look as bright as in the photo...the flash lit it up a bit.

There's also a reflection in the glass, on the right hand side, from the overhead light in my garage.

I've yet to read the whole thread but
what thickness glass/lexan (plexiglass) should one use?

How do you seal it? Just like caulking or clear sealant or whatever?

After calling just about every glass store in the phonebook I came to the conclusion that nobody in AZ knows the different light transmission ratings of the grey glass.  All I was able to get from the was that there was "regular grey" and "grey lite".  Does anybody know the ratings on both of these and which one I should get?  I finally have found some good prices on smoked grey tempered 1/4" thick glass and would love to run out and buy it.  Thanks.

Is the 'tinting' a universal thing?  I'm just about to buy some grey tinted glass, but am uncertain about the level of tint (% or otherwise).  Can anyone else in the UK recommend a particular tint level to go for? Is there a common consensus? I'll be using it in conjunction with a TV (not monitor)..don't' know if that affects what I'll need ?

thanks

I think I was lucky, I just asked for some tinted toughened glass and it turned out to be perfect.  No-one in the glass place I went to mentioned tint levels or anything...
