Can you use plexiglass for a bezel?

Stingray:
Lowes, Home Depot & the like will gouge you on plexi. You can get it way, way cheaper from a plastics specialty shop.

Dire Radiant:
No kidding. Plexi from Home Depot in the size I want for mine would cost me about $35. The local glass place quoted me $27 for tempered.

Actually I bought a 36x28 piece of acrylic from Home Depot for $13.00. I don't notice any ditstortion at all. The only downside is that it's easy to scratch. But cutting it is a breeze.

MonitorGuru:
Considering you can get a 22" x 32" piece of 1/4" thick glass for the top of a Midway cocktail table, including 4 radius cuts, frosted rounded edges AND tempering for about $45 in most cities, a 24x24 piece of tempered 3/16" glass for an upright bezel without rounded edges or corner radius cuts, should cost only about $25... much less than a similar piece of Lexan.. and a LOT less scratchable.
