      i got a 50x50 mirror with a approx. 24° monitor.

      i taped the free area of the mirror to get full darkness behind it.

      looks very good :)

          Is there any downside when the mirror is bigger (*1,5 or *2) than the monitor behind it?
          For example my current idea would look like this:

            @ZombieDE the bleeding of the monitor could be more obvious if its not all over the place

            Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

              @strawberry-3.141 How bad could it get? Sorry, I have no experience with mirrors.
              Do you have any pictures how it could look like?
              (I changed/updated my first question)

                @ZombieDE this depends on the brightness of your monitor and the light transition of the mirror, for example here you can see the cut where the monitor ends https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1250/my-first-build-using-a-lasered-frame/2

                  @strawberry-3.141 I’ll use the two way mirror form Germany (light transmisson 24 percent)and (probably) the BenQ GL2760H (contrast 1000:1, brightness 300 nits = 300 cd/m²) if you can get something out of it.

                      For what it’s worth, I have a mirror that’s larger than my monitor:

                      Monitor: 12.5x19.5"
                      Mirror: 14x22"

                      It looks totally fine. There was some bleed at the edge of the monitor where you could see some light-glow, but I taped that down with electrical tape and now it’s perfect.
