What's the best TV to use?

[redink]

If you were to build a magic mirror from scratch, what display technology would you pick? My MagicMirror is running on an old LCD TV with a two way mirror in front of it and the glare make it almost unreadable during the day.

If I were to rebuild it, what kind of a TV should I use to make it easier to read during the day?

@redink I don’t use any mirror glass on mine. I don’t need another mirror in the house

@sdetweil If you were to build a magic mirror from scratch, which display technology would you choose? My current MagicMirror setup uses an old LCD TV with a two-way mirror, but glare makes it difficult to read during the day.

If I were to rebuild it, what type of display should I use to improve daytime readability?

@DanLeo i do not know. as i said above none of my mirrors have reflective glass. i do not need that in my house.

i have a 43in hd tv on the wall at the T of my two main walkways
it shows background pics from my nas
weather, calendar, and a couple other into things

i have a 55 in hd tv on the wall in my office space, w 4 hdmi inputs, where i can switch between different systems providing mirror app info. this is mostly used for testing, but i have an old odroid xu4 running 24x7

@redink For better daytime visibility, go with an LED or OLED display with high brightness and good contrast. A commercial-grade high-nit display or an IPS panel with anti-glare coating can also help reduce reflections. Adjusting brightness and using a high-quality two-way mirror with better light transmission can further improve readability!
