This is how i plan to frame my lcd. I want to make sure its a good idea before i do it. I am gonna use silicone to glue the lcd to the wood. I appreciate your help, thanks.

by the way the "hole" is in the wood not the lcd lol

That's the way I did it Sean, I cut out the hole, then routed down the edges to make a lip for the lcd to sit in...

can anyone give me the measurements of a 15" LCD screen strip so I can cut my board for it and route it out

Varies from screen to screen.

Make sure you figure out where your lcd wiring is going before you silicone. You dont want to be cutting into wood after it has been siliconed to a nice panel.

Lets hope not.... I can just hear it now, "I thought it would make the light get through better".
