As we more closely approach the end of this exhausting project, it is time to measure for the glass.
I achieved this by using a piece of soft cardboard and cutting to the measurements of the PC monitor.

I placed this card into the glazing strips (that will actually be used to retain the glass) to determine a tight fit.
Through trial and error, folding and unfolding, I got the card to successfully cover the entire screen area. I noted down the measurements as they will form the basis for the dimensions I will supply when ordering the glass.

Although I have no picture as example, I actually duplicated the measurement of the card to cut out a piece of transparent film. I placed this film in the area in front of the PC monitor via the glazing strip retainer and marked out the boundaries of the actual monitor screen area with blue masking tape, again making a note of these measurements for ordering the bezel that will border the screen.
