It was like that but stuck out more and didn`t have the lense..... It was meant to black out all the surrounding things in your game room...

Ahhh.. sorry I completely misunderstood. I do know what you are talking about. It is called a "monitor hood" you can purchase them (places like this http://www.photodon.com/mgrh.htm ) or you could save the money and use cardboard and flat black spray paint (make sure you use flat black and not gloss). Good luck, Fred
