Just curious as to what tool people are using to trim their Happ monitor bezels.

straight edge, self healing cropping mat (like the kind one would use in the printing biz), ruler, and the sharpest knife you can find :)

make 2-3 passes on the plastic - and then bend the cut area off of the bezel.

works like a champ..

Well I always called them utility knives, but the FAA likes to call them box cutters. Score, bend, snap, presto.

They really score VERY well. They'll even score on a curve (if for some odd reason you wanted to). I recommend holding some sort of metal straight edge in place as you score, though. It'll keep your line straighter.
