Buying bigger things outside the EU you will have to pay toll and taxes on it. Not worth it.

Or Try finding a used monitor with hdmi on www.blocket.se
The small ones usually are dirt cheap!

The LED monitors often has a stronger light output/contrast are therefor better suited for a magicmirror, but a normal tft/ccfl screen works also. It’s more up to the lighttransmissin of your mirror in the end.

@broberg That i know and the thing is that i want the mirror to be only seven centimeters thick as the location where it will hang it on the wall don´t let me have a thicker frame so this is why i try to find the best solution.

broberg

@wizz okey, so a maximum depth of 5cm for the screen then? what is the maximum width and height for the screen?

And about the color of the frame, it should not be an issue, if it is, just use some “eltejp” or black vinyl, or just paint it black.

wizz

@broberg thats right and the width maximum is 40 - 42 cm and height is 80 - 85cm it will hang in my kitchen beside the door on a small wall where i also got the kitchen cabinet whit a door that have to be possible to open so it is a small area i have.
