Assuming product is ITE/Telecom equipment, yes you need a fire 
enclosure if the power is not limited. If you limit the power to the 
LCD in accordance to UL1950/EN 60950, you will need to provide a 
fire enclosure in the unlimited circuit including any overcurrent 
protective devices to comply with the non-inherently power source 
limitation requirements; your LCD and bezels then become  
decorative parts which requires a minimum HB flammability rating.

If LCD is not power limited, a minimum V-1 rating is necessary for 
the enclosure (assuming your equipment is less than 18kg and not 
stationary or fixed). Protective covers if not part of the fire enclosure 
can be rated minimum HB.
