No Eric, the set was made that way. I think that the cabinet was not made in a way that allowed enough room for the crt bezel. The other possibility is that the bezel is not properly cenered in the opening. The set uses a 16AP4 and I can tell from the photo of the rear that a 16AP4 is indeed installed.
