Please scroll to the bottom and read all updates before proceeding with this project to get the best results. I ended up using painters tape to see how it stacked up and it was much easier to apply and looks better IMHO.

💥 Updates 💥
9/3/19
- Anchor electrical tape VERY GOOD on back of screen to prevent it coming off
- Don't overly stretch the electrical tape, less tension actually works better
- If you get a little bubble slowly work it out with your finger nail
- If you have hockey tape or black gaffers tape try that since it has a dull finish
- This is easier to do before mounting the TV on the wall if possible
Update 9/9/19
- I tried flat black painters masking tape instead of electrical tape and it was not only way easier to apply to the screen but it looks better against the flat black wall
- The trick is make sure you go nice and slow so you don't rip the tape since it's a bit more fragile than the stretchy vinyl electrical tape but highly recommend it instead
- I was able to get the electrical tape to stay on with the anchors on the back however one corner did start to come undone because I didn't anchor it well. The painters tape is under no tension so worked better!

Coming back to CZcams will be an uphill struggle since I've been gone for so long and CZcams has weighted my channel downward because of it. I want to thank you guys for sharing my content outside of CZcams since it's not going to be discovered easily in Search anymore until I get my numbers back up where they were. So you guys have no idea how important you are to my success and come back here on CZcams and ultimately I'm returning to Twitch also. Therapy has been a huge part of my recovery and I recommend it to anyone that is a target of constant online hate. It helps you understand why people feel a need to attack others and find fault in others to help ease their own pain and mask their own problems and I now understand it which helps make it less painful.
Just remember next time someone is going crazy saying crazy stuff that they are choosing to stick around and do that meaning they want some kind of a connection with you and they don't care if it's positive or negative they just want one. So you can pretty much bet that person has their own problems, their own struggles and could use a hug. I'm trying to realize this myself now and be a bit more empathetic towards these people now. I love all the people that bring so much positivity my way, honestly, it's what keeps me wanting to do this forever and ever!
♥♥♥♥♥
You don't make videos for others... you make them for yourself.
How goes the weight loss? enjoying the bike still...
Welcome back! I know exactly what you are saying. I'm glad you are taking a different approach to resolve this. I hope you get to where you set your goals...especially for your family's sake.
I have been a subscriber for many years, although I rarely comment. You are one of my favorite youtubers. Love you man, health comes first
It's so nice to see you back in the saddle. You make the rest of us nerds feel at home.
You were in my sub box Jerry. Glad to see you back 👍
Thank you so much for watching this video and I hope you enjoy the #DIYGasm series as much as I like to produce it. I plan to venture out into all my old categories like 3D printing, VR, Gaming, Coding, etc over time but I'm coming back from a long break due to health reasons that aren't fully resolved (talk about them on my Patreon openly) but I'm working through them and I'm just looking to entertain people and stay productive. Everything you see in the video can be found in the video description or just come over on social media and hit me up (Twitter is your best chance at getting a response). Make sure you read the video description for updates on this project before starting since I'm going to try *OTHER MATERIAL TYPES* after this video!
love your videos barnacules nerdgasm
Yay. You’re back, again. Again.
What's up with that yellow pixel on the right of the screen camera messed up some? It's kinda yellowish.
It's on your hand at 5:27
Lmfao! And epic setup in the bedroom!! I need this setup damn it! Lol
i just watched a 20 minute video of sticking four pieces of tape. 10/10
2 videos in as many days??? I'm dreaming... but it is a good dream
Update 9/9/19 - The electrical tape was a bit shiny so I decided to try some flat black painters tape after someone recommended it and I found some and it was much easier to install and ultimately looked way better than the electrical tape. If all you have is electrical tape then give it a go, it left no bad residue like people were concerned with that I could see but the painters tape went on super easy and because it's flat it's a better match for the black painted wall if that matters in your configuration. I linked the tape in the video description that I used for my 2nd try and on my 3rd try in 2 weeks I'm going to paint the painters tape with Black 2.0 paint to try and make it even more light absorbing.
Keep on trying new stuff and let me know how it works for you!
Jerry has a stepladder because his real ladder left him when he was young. :P
And this gets a pin 😉
So? What's the difference between a ladder and a step-ladder? You need to stop judging things based on narrow-minded cultural assumptions.
Step ladder just has less aspirations... But I love em anyways
@@Barnacules lol
20min to install..4hrs getting rid of the mess electrical tape leaves behind
The worst residue out of all tapes.
I would of used vinyl cost more but easy to remove
Barnacules you are the only person on the planet i would watch a 20min video showing me how to tape the edges of a tv screen. 😁👍
Only Barnacules can make a video about taping up a TV interesting and funny 😏
Matte black vinyl wrap (hopefully you can get a reasonable amount and not enough bulk to do the whole house), hobby knife, credit card to get into an crevices, i think it would come out really well( i did a wooden lid for fish tank a year ago with sharp corners and rounded edges and still going strong with heat and moisture)
Glad to see you posting more to CZcams lately. I really enjoy your videos.
So happy to see you posting again Jerry! Absolutely love that setup you got going on in there.
I can’t remember when I subscribed to you but I believe it was when you had like 80k subs. And still after all these years you are still one of my favorite people to watch.
Collton Via thank you so much.
I'd probably go with gaffers tape so it doesn't shmoo up the bezel with adhesive, but I can understand not wanting to pay for a different tape if you already had electrical tape on hand.
It's all about what's on hand. If I had black gaffers tape that would have been my first choice! I also want to try Hockey grip tape (linked in video description).
Ya it will get gooey sticky mess rather soon. It will be hard to clean. Vinyl wrap from 3m or avery would be the most ideal for this i think. fine for now though.
If you have to buy it anyways, do it properly and get black felt tape. That's the same stuff you'd use in home theater projector setups.
Jake Lile I agree, but WD-40 on a clutch makes the shmoo go away easy when you remove it. I took it off just to see what residue it left after a few days and there was nothing. After months or years though I’m sure it will.
The DIYgasm videos is where its at my man..Cant wait!!!!
Good to see you posting again - keep them coming!
Funny! The moment you mentioned the issue you were having, my immediate thought and I mean immediate thought was to use Electrical Tape!!! LMFAO!!! I guess great minds think alike?
This video and the last one have both been in my inbox. Sometimes youtube works like it's supposed to.
The black felt might not be a good idea. My wife pointed out that felt attracts dust (and cat fur) like a magnet.
Love you barnacules, been a long time fan... Thanks for all the entertainment.
You're welcome and thank you so much!
Glad to see you posting again, looking forward to some more diy, car, 3d printing, tech stuff and of course a return of Batknife (but please sharpen it) lol
Glad to see you back, Barnacules!
A fantastic, easy DIY fix Jerry. Just need some tape for those two cables dangling down from below the center of the TV.
AWESOME!! TOO FUNNY AND KEEP'EM COMING!!!
I watched this video twice.
So much energy is addictive 😁
Awesome video! I might use this trick in the far future. I currently have a TV and PC monitor with completely black border, so no issue. But if I upgrade in the future, I might need some tape magic.
You're doing awesome back!
Gotta admit...good to see a couple videos from you Jerry!
Always entertaining It makes my day seeing new content from you. Thank you
Wild. My tv has the same silver bezel. I didn’t notice it until I saw this video. I’m pretty sure I’ll stop noticing it as soon as I navigate away.
Fun video. Welcome back :) 100% agree with the silver bezel - purchased an LG TV over a Samsung about 6 months ago for that exact and only reason (I have a Samsung QLED computer monitor and love it).
yessss please make more videos barnacules. been missing you for a while and enjoying the new uploads
I love DIYGasm and all of your videos really. Glad to see you back on youtube.
Love your videos Jerry. Keep em coming please!!!
Glad to see you’re back! ❤️
Glad to see you posting videos again!!!
I love you Barn. Welcome Back!!
Glad your back to making videos!
Awesome Jerry, I've been thinking about doing this 😁
Try hockey tape or gaffers tape and report back. I want to see which ones work the best. Post pics and tag me on Twitter.
Good to see ya back Gerry
That is why you always wait for the end credits... LOL
Thanks for sharing been nice seeing ya get back into the swing of things.
Keep up the content Jerry! Just create at your own pace to make you happy. We enjoy them.
Two videos in two days? You are spoiling us. It's great to see you making videos again! I look forward to seeing even more from you!
Black gaffer's tape or duct tape would have worked much better (and definitely less reflective in the case of gaffer's tape) but sometimes you gotta work with what you have and electrical tape is definitely better than nothing in this case.
DIYGasm and JerryRigged is all about working with what you got most of the time. I hated looking at the bezel, I was going to try and fix it and I recorded it and shared it. That's how I've always rolled 😁
I would just buy a black tv !!! Good to see stuff from you again.
I’m glad I stumbled back onto your vids..I miss them..
thats awesome idea I never thought of doing that great job
Can't wait!!!!
Was in the process of asking why you got rid of your projector, then you answered it. Thought I'd just go ahead and leave the comment to help with the algorithm.
This is a cool simple mod. Nice!
Nice vid! Glad you're back 👍💪👏👏
Use HFCR open source calibration software with your x-rite I one display pro and calibrate that display too rec709. Hdtv standard. You love it.
love seeing new vids keep up the great work!!!
I'm glad you're back, hope you can hit that 1mil mark in the next 2 or 3 months, you deserve it!
Good to have you back mate
Glad to see u Jerry !!! Keep ur up !
Glad to see you back
...
Can you do a review on the sleep number bed I was thinking of getting one
dang! that turned out lookin pretty sweet!
You're a better man than me, I never would've had the patience to do anything other than mask that off and spray paint it. 😂😂
Entertaining as always! :D Love your videos!
im just kinda skimming through and was lucky enough to land on 12:20 LMAO im dead. i love barnacules
😉
Man I watch you channel for years almost when you had around 100k subs.
90% of the videos you make I always shit myself laughing.
Love the PJ's LOL
Hey barn why not plastidip the edge. Should be less reflective then the electrical tape
2 videos in a week? Nice.
Glad to see ya back in the sub feed. Keep up the good work 👍
is it possible to mask off the screen and paint the borders flat black? or try black loom tape.
Great video, thanks for sharing
Life's better Jerry's back
Jerry
I'm a lazy sob, so would suggest trying a jumbo black magic marker/sharpie and see how it works, fall back to tape if not happy with the magic marker results
Great to see you back -
John
Could you do a video tutorial on
pi hole ad block? I figure you would give the best detail and practical tips as well.
Awesome DIY Jerry.
Love ya bro! Your awesome as usual
Great idea! Use what you have to get rid of the silver edging.
miss ur videos man! always loved watching. 👊🏼
Have you thought of attaching LED stip lighting behind the tv. Excellent for contrast during night viewing.
keep em coming
love all your videos happy see you posting again sending my blessing you and you family from uk keep up the good work
Thank you so much!
I have the same tv. If you redo it would love to see a mask-off and spray plasti dip install.
Would cloth electrical tape be better than glossy so that they aren't as shiny and reflective?
Try getting a roll of 1 or 2 inch wide, satin or flat black vinyl wrap.
Damn you Jerry , all i can see now is the damn sliver bezel now on my TV ......NNNOOOOO!!!!!!! . haha :)
Enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work.
I convinced myself that my Silver bezel looked elegant on my Q6FN with that silver stand. If I get tired of the silver,i got a Staples duramark permanent black marker 😜
I use car coach line decal Matt carbon fibre 10 mm width You get in car shops bezel was 10mm and so was tape I got 2.5 metre roll which was plenty and clean bezels and it went on smooth and I even cut the corners like picture frame. It goes on and don't come off very strong adesive
Great idea...
Good to see you back again Jerry. Good idea with the electrical tape, I do believe that there is an electrical tape that is fabric should be able to pick up at Lowes or HD
well, at least the bright bezels disappeared and you don’t kill your warranty with this method
I‘m looking forward for more videos... it’s always a pleasure to watch them
👍
Should be interesting :)
Thanks Jerry, videos, man more videos, please
How about TV calibration video with i1 Display PRo? However not for HTPC but for Xbox and movies :)
Freaking genius! Excellent idea ^_^
How about a shrink wrap or a Vinyl wrap like for a car?
I think you can use a heat gun if you keep the temp vary low and moving.
I wonder what all can be used meant for other stuff?
Jerry make more videos mate big fan from australia
Jerry why not buy a black can of paint use some masking tape to cover screen and spray paint the bezel black outside and your done.
i know its and older video but if you ever find yourself redoing this, vinyl wrap works amazing. chrome delete strips cut in half! easy money
Glad to see you posting more to CZcams lately.
Thanks Ryan, with my wifes help and my son being back in school now I think we can get back to a regular schedule.
yay you are back.
wow i just spent a few hours catching up on some of your past videos lol and enjoyed every minute of it, THANK YOU MATE! and to show my appreciation i will turn off my adblock for your channel from now on.
you take care and just keep doing what your doing mate, sorry about the mate thing but i'm from the UK and its meant in the best way.
HELL YEAH BROTHER!
