            I am trying to build a mirror which is way bigger than the monitor itself, but from your picture it seems the monitor easily recognisable from the front of the mirror.

            Is it possible to make the monitor to blend with the mirror, possibly by by changing the monitor background color?

              @mirror2onthewall I’m not sure about blend. The problem is more to do with the viewing angle of the LCD screen itself. With the old screen i’ve got, if you’re stood ‘above’ it or facing it the screen is very bright, and it’s dimentions are very obvious. However, due to how high it’s hanging on my wall, most people are actually looking ‘up’ at it, their eye level being below the centre, and it’s no where near as bad. I think also, the brightness of the screen could be adjusted downwards to make it less noticable, but then you’d have difficulty reading the text on bright days.

                @christhomas Thanks for your reply. Didnt think of this minor issue when I first start designed it.

                  How did you get the virtual projector effect in the last screenshot :-) Just awesome! :-)
                  Please could you post more photos of how does it look like hanging on the wall …

                    @mirror2onthewall Nor did I! :) When you’ve got a laptop with a hinged screen, you don’t think twice about changing the viewing angle, but you don’t really get chance to adjust it when it’s fixed to the wall! I think I was lucky in that respect.
