      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:

        Like Eric said, the bezel came off fairly easily and it’s slim. Plus it’s only $129.99 right now!

          I used an Asus MB169B+ which is an external USB C monitor. It’s extremely thin, but I had to get a controller on eBay, since the included controller has only the USB-port (and uses DisplayLink).

              Would the iiyama ProLite X2483HSU-B2 be a good kandidate? Together with a 70% reflective 30% pass-through mirror?
              Or are there better options on the market for a setup like this mirror (24 inch, with usb to power the pi).

              En voor de Nederlands sprekenden: hoe heet zo’n spiegel in het Nederlands (two-way mirror)

                @neuzehie They, unfortunately, go by a lot of names: Confrontatiespiegel, observatieglas/spiegel, halfdoorlatende spiegel…

                  Maybe not the best solution for you but well. I bought a cheap 17 inch Laptop screen from ebay LTN170X2-L02 17inch (1€ +6€ shipment) and then i bought a controller from ebay as well TV T.VST59 (21€ suggested price). Just search for nearly ending auctions with no bids on it, but first look if there is a working controller. Its pretty easy to set up everything is plug and play.

                    I use a old Asus laptop X53 screen witch I unmounted (read: Destroyd) from the bezel and added direcly on the glas. Then I added a custom LCD Controller from amazon. Not the best light (bleeds abit) but smal and works great!

                        i recently bought a ViewSonic (http://geizhals.at/viewsonic-vx2757-mhd-a1411094.html?hloc=at) but it´s very poor!

                        in a dark envirenment its bleeding and switched the main lights on i can´t hardly see anything (Mirror with 1:7 transmission)

                        seems that TN panels are not the best choice.

                        any other ideas for high quality displays below a 350€ pricetag?
