Wrong!  I can honestly say my bezel is nearly perfect, exactly as intended (see it here: http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=18812;start=40 )

I think it looks great, but I still love the tinted glass! :)

Maybe some tints are so dark you can't see *anything* except the image through it.  I can still see through my glass and so the bezel is still visible.  I think mounting bolts etc. would easily show through if I hadn't hid them.

I was hoping that this time last year...and I'm still going!  :)

Would the best choice be anti reflective, tinted glass like used in shop windows?
An even bigger question would be where to get it from?
