Greylite in, seems dark ... yadda yadda

This is true, and running the monitor brighter will have some impact on longevity.
That being said, it's no different than a TV using a dark tinted picture tube to give you those high contrast ratios. They must do the same things, but they do it more transparently through range adjustments in setup menus.
So it's probably not something to be terribly concerned about. I've been running a monitor for 3 years straight (24 hrs a day) with dark plexi and a pumped up output. No problems yet. Just don't leave it burning the same image into the screen all of the time. ;)

What are the benefits of using tinted plexi/glass/lexan?

This thread had some examples, but they aren't linked properly anymore. The images may be mirrored here somewhere.
Lots of information there otherwise.

Awesome stuff! Thanks for the link, It's much appreciated .. I just got a Happ plastic bezel today and will be fiddling around with it later tonight .. this smoked plexi idea may well have taken out a lot of guess work for me
:cheers:

After I got my greylite, I noticed the same thing. I'm using it on a computer monitor to play Tempest only. I took a break after getting the cab all together, and need to start messing with software and monitor settings. Here's a picture of the monitor with stock settings behind the greylite.
