I like the idea of rabbeting around the monitor opening and using tinted lexan there but have not seen an example of it and would like to see how it looks.

Why can't you just route it out and try it, that's what I am going to do.  If you don't like it your graphic overlay should cover up the rabbit section so no harm done.

Yes, but of course there is no way to grow the smoked glass if it is cut for the monitor opening :).
I am nitpicking here. As this is what I will probably do but I would still appreciate some feedback on how well a graphic underlay shows through smoked glass.

Maybe you don't understand what I am going to do.  I am using two pieces of glass.  The main TOP piece is a full cocktail glass top with NO hole in it.  The 2nd piece (smoked) is going to be below it sitting in the wood top that is routed along the edges of the monitor cut out.  The smoked piece is not going to cover the graphic underlay at all.  If I don't like it I can remove it and you won't be able to tell it was ever there.

I just got a Taito cab and under the glass, just sitting in a routed out section was the tinted bit. It's just a 2mm thick sheet of acrylic/Perspex, not glass, 345mm x 279mm and fits over the bezel.
