thus is how our 40" Bjorket look with a "box" sort of trim. not exactly what you are looking for, I know, but an example of informal trim and no shadow effect. (Please note that our contractor was not the greatest and I do know that the caulk is separating. We had a number of unrelated structural issues since install so I'm just happy the whole thing is still standing. Pic is shared to illustrate the concept - not meant as an example of awesome workmanship.)
