This is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!
I’m also preparing for making a magic mirror by myself, so your experience would definitely help me a lot!

By the way, is your magic mirror touch-screen? And if I want to make a touchable magic mirror, does that mean I need a touchable led monitor?

Thank you so much!

No, my mirror is not touch-screen. You will have to put 2-way mirror glass in front of the monitor so I don’t think a touchable monitor is applicable here, unless you don’t intend to make it a mirror. Most people are using something like this in front of a normal monitor.

There are different kinds and sizes so you may want to a make a new topic here and ask what people are using.

Good luck to you and enjoy making your mirror.
