Need bezel for Billabs 25" VeriFlat monitor.
« on: June 07, 2007, 06:06:44 pm »
I am ready to install the monitor into my MAME cab, but the bezel I ordered from Happ doesnt work with the monitor at all. The monitor is a Billabs BL25xxx which has the VeriFlat screen, but the Bezel is for a convex screen so it doesn't fit. Is there somewhere that sells a 25"/24.8" monitor bezel that doesn't have such a curve to it?

You might actually want to try something other than a bezel and a lot more customized...

In my cab (http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/1691/img2322qg9.jpg) I simply had a piece of tempered glass custom made for about $50. I then put the glass up to the monitor and marked out a couple inches in from the screen corners. After forming a box to cover the monitor with newspaper and painter's tape, I spray-painted around the sides of the box with flat black. I peeled off the newspaper and tape and installed the glass in my cab with the paint side facing the screen.

The result is a bezel built right into the glass and it makes for a perfect finish.

That's a very clever idea but there has to be bezels available for these monitors, Happ sells one for a flat 27" but not a 25".  :-\
