Anyone have a extra 4:3 screen Bezel for a Sony BVM 20F1U?

Post by BVM-PVM »

My Sony BVM A20F1U never came with a 4:3 Bezel. Does anyone have an extra they would like to sell?

Probably a dumb comment from me, but I always thought the 16:9 bezel just snapped over a 4:3 bezel built-in to the frame. So where does it attach? Is there stuff exposed that shouldn't be when you have no bezel installed?

Yes it is exposed at the bottom were its clipped in. Here is a ebay listing with a missing bezel. http://m.ebay.com/itm/351167959377?nav=SEARCH

If you're in the US, just call up the Sony Pro service and ask if they have one left. Be nice and you might even get one for free. Nobody needs or wants these anymore. All the BVMs are still fully supported.

I just called them. They want 205.00 dollars for the bezel assembly and 168.00 for just the 16:9 bezel. :(

What a joke. Maybe try making a temporary one out of cardstock and paint it matte black?

Come on, lad. I have A20F and my screen does not exactly look ugly with the 4:3 bezel off. It is hardlt noticeable.

That's true. I'm in no hurry to get one. All the different bvm 20f1u's use same size bezel right?

My bezels fit onto both BVM-20F1E's and BVM-D20F1A's - I'd assume they're all compatible across the 20" BVM line.
