    Some enhancements done in the meanwhile:
    a) The CPU temperature was always above 60°C so I added two heatsinks and one small ventilator. Since then my CPU temperature is always below 50°C (mostly around 40-44 °C).

    b) I did ask in my first post whether someone had the problem that the inverter of the monitor did move. Well, in my case I did have this problem, so added some wooden holders to ensure that the inverter stays at the place intended to be.

    c) In the area where I mounted the mirror on the wall it is even during daylight quite dark. So the mirror did not really show its intended mirror effect. In order to get more light directly in the area of the mirror I mounted 3 LED spots on top of the mirror. Now I do have extremely good conditions. :)
    View of the 3 LED spots:

          Nice work done. Your idea with the LEDs is pretty cool.

            @Steff said in Magic Mirror @ Munich:

            There is one thing I am unsure about. I have noticed that the controller unit (inverter/ controller) of the monitor has slightly shifted. Maybe I “pressed” the HDMI cable too much and therefore it got dislocated. You can see this in the last picture.

            Hi all,

            I encountered the same thing with my Viewsonic. It appears, the Controller units arent’t riveted or bolted (or even glued) to the backpanel. They are just taped together with a silverisch tape. My Monitor has a VESA-Mount at the back, so I thought of bolting the wonitor to the wall with a slim VESA-Mount - which worked for 12hours, then the panel fell off - fortunatetly everything is still working.
            So I’m thinking - either you have to tape it more thoroughly or use a two-component metal glue for a stable compound.

            In my case, I’m making a provisionary case with wood also, which holds the Monitor - and I’m not using the VESA-Mount anymore.
