Bezel Creation Help
ginno:
Hi guys, i have finally mounted the TV in my cabinet, she is quite a tight fit meaning the piece of perspex will be flush with the front of the cabinet.
My issue is what is the best way to create / mount a bezel?
I have looked at tailgunners tutorial which is good except the different between his is that his monitor is mounted in a wooden frame where mine is mounted in a steel free standing frame.
Tailgunner:
How are you supporting the perspex at the top and sides? With your monitor being offset so close to the bottom I'll agree this one will be a bit of a challenge, but it's still doable. I'd suggest adding a cardboard flange around the edges that extends backwards a few cm into the monitor opening. This flange would stiffen the bezel's edges to make it self supporting.
Wienerdog:
Honestly the easiest thing to do in this case is paint the inside of your cabinet screen area black (with a 1" brush, don't take the monitor out) and then use smoked glass or Plexi.
Worst case, you could just make a flat bezel. You won't actually see the bezel because of the smoked glass.

Why not use a large piece of black art board, cut the screen area out, then back the plexi with it. If it's going to be as close to the screen as you say, it should work.
Painting the area around the monitor inside of the cab black would help too.

I am going to have to screw the perspex directly into a brace that has not yet been created above and below the monitor.
Doing this would make a bevel at the top and botton of the monitor so maybe i should run a bead down the left and right of the monitor as well.
