      Absolutely and nearly nothing would need to be lit so a lot less energy. I also though about adding just the LCD matrix without the backlight in front of the mirror, would that work? I once had a clock that was transparent and had a display on it.

      We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

        @paviro Then your mirror would be inverted. ;)

              @KirAsh4 yeah sadly… We will probably have to wait a few more years for that :(

                I use this monitor:

                https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/samsung-s24e650pl-24-60cm-250cdm-1920-x-1080-pixel-schwarz-monitor-5647268

                  I got this one for 200 euro in MediaMarkt:

                  http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/435115/lg-27mp37vq-b-zwart.html

                  It’s very thin - especially without the bezel (I think it’s 13mm at its thickest) and the control board is completely detachable and only slightly bigger than the Raspberry Pi. It was a very easy install. Only downside is that the HDMI cable comes straight out - the back they all seem to these days. I solved this with a 90 degree HDMI cable.

                    I can advise to use use ViewSonic!
                    e.g.:
                    https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00K6E8ACU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
                    I used now two of them for both: it’s not too difficult to get rid of the bezel, they are very slim, and all connectors showing down

                    br!

                      I also used a ViewSonic, this 24 inch:
                      https://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-VA2446M-LED-24-Inch-1080p-Monitor/dp/B00D601UC8
                      Like Eric said, the bezel came off fairly easily and it’s slim. Plus it’s only $129.99 right now!
