              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.

                  @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 Okey, so how about this one then :
                      https://www.dustinhome.se/product/5010887463/gw2470h?ssel=false&utm_campaign=prisjakt&utm_source=prisjakt.nu&utm_medium=pricecompare&utm_content=5637146247

                      51mm thick, 553mm wide and 329mm high.
                      Turn it on it’s side and you get 329mm wide and 553mm high.

                      And it will cost you the same (or less if we count the toll costs) as the aliexpress 17.3 lcd panel

                              @wizz neither can I the manufacturer doesn’t even specify it. But it doesn’t have a hdmi input, so it would need an adapter.
