This bezel is great, and allows you to cover up your imperfect rectangular hole. (they're never perfect!) If I could change one thing, I would decrease height of the bezel a bit. The width is perfect, just beyond the left/right edges of the LCD, but the height is probably 1/2 taller than needed. Regardless it looks great and I bought 3 for future projects.

very nice

When I cut a hole for an LCD in plastic or metal using a Dremel tool or nibbler it comes out pretty ragged. Bezel to the rescue, and this is a nice one.

The "pro" touch !

These bezels are extremely well crafted and handy. It instantly adds a "pro" touch to any project featuring a LCD.
Moreover, the laser cut of these items is really sharp : it's perfect !

I will definitely recommend these.

Love It

These bezels even make my worst cut lcd display holes beautiful and they are large enough to cover my biggest mistakes. They are easy to install and worth every penny. I looked for them for a long time and will keep buying them.

Finally My Project Look Good

Looks great, easy install

I try to avoid rectangular holes in project enclosures, working with hand tools I never get the fit and finish I want. This bezel is perfectly sized to expose the display area of the 20x4 display while hiding the unfinished edges of the hole. Installation was a snap and the finished product look very professional.

Great product, I love how my board looks inside this stand

Great job with this product, it makes my project look a lot more professional and more functional now that I can stand it at an angle. I love the quality and the packaging. I can see myself ordering more in the future.

Thanks and I hope to see more products using the 20x4 LCD.

Nice little bezel

I am designing an electrical box to control attic ventilation fans. The control is made by an embedded system and I wanted to connect a 20x4 display to it. I got the Sainsmart IIC 20x4 display for this from a local store. While I was careful with cutting an opening in my metal box, the lines were not perfectly straight and I wanted it to look professional. After some research online I realized I only have two options: buy this bezel or make one myself (there's actually an Instructables tutorial that teaches you how to make one). Given the time constrain, need for professional appearance and the decent price, I elected to buy this bezel. It turned out to be a nice little black bezel made out of two pieces: one black with a cutout and a full transparent one. It looks nice on my box and hides all the rough edges I made in the metal box. It fits perfectly with the display's screw holes. Will definitely consider again if I need a professional look, otherwise I would just do one myself and save the money.

exactly as described, worked well

This product is exactly as described by the inventor. I would prefer four more nuts to be included in the kit to allow spacing the bezel a precise distance from the LCD circuit board otherwise the plastic bezel warps/bends on the LCD display when tightening everything down during mounting. Of course the nuts are pretty easy to source yourself at your local fastener store.

Thanks for the review!

The faceplates usually ship with 8 nuts for this purpose, it's possible some nuts were left out of your package and my apologies on that one. If you need any extras i'm happy to send some your way.

Great product

Just what I was looking for. I purchased for projected and ended up liking the product so much, I purchased 5 for future projects. Highly recommended.

Good buy

Stand is well made & attractive. Thought full LCD would fit in cutout. Fast response to email clarified. A.simple instruction sheet would help newbies.

Excellent LCD Stand

The stands arrived on time securely packed in a cardboard box. The stand looks very good! This would definitely be fine for the living room but I will be using it in my home office.

I plan to mount a Pi Zero (whenever I can get one!) on the back of the LCD display creating an lcdproc WiFi backpack for the display. The Pi Zero will run the display server LCDd. A MythTV backend will send data to the display using mythlcdserver. The backend is downstairs so I can keep track of it upstairs. A Pi 2 running ADSB plane spotting software will send aircraft data to the same display.

This is working using a regular Pi and a 16x2 LCD so this project is an upgrade to a 20x4 LCD and a very good looking stand.

Exactly what I expected /ordered. A bit expensive

I am using this for a display of a Software Defined Radio. It is exactly as described, and gives a finished appearance to my project. Fit and finish was perfect! As stated, the product got to my address faster than expected. The only negative is that $15 for a piece of acrylic plastic is a bit on the expensive side

Response from Widgeneering | Jan. 29, 2016

Hey Pat,

Thanks a bunch for the review and i'm glad you like the stand!

I wish I could price these lower but I have to hand heat and bend each unit after laser cutting so these are quite labor intensive compared to just a faceplate. Hopefully one of these days I can build an automated heating and bending jig to do the work for me. :)

Excellent product

Perfect finish to 16X2 LCD. I mounted it in a simple ABS project box but this thing would look good on any kind of box. The control box I built was for use in a restaurant environment so a finished look was critical and I know I couldn't have done anything close to this good (and I love that it made up for my poor Dremel skills so I didn't have to pay to have the box milled).

It shipped with protective covering on the surfaces of the bezel and the backplate and has all the hardware you need to mount. I felt like it was very reasonably priced and certainly worth every penny. I just bought 4 more for additional control boxes.

20 x 4 LCD Stand

The stand was useful generally, have used them (both the 20 x 4 and 16 x 2) for several projects and others in the office have used them, too.
Make LCDs much easier to use. Would recommend them to anybody who may use LCDs.

Nice finish
