      Just tried my Monitor out. Thats a sick black. I can’t see any difference between black and Monitor off.
      And there is no message when unplugging or plugging in the HDMI cable :grinning_face:

      Hope I get the walnutwood for my frame next week

        @Mykle1 Probably going to keep the pi: The only problem I have right now is the gif.
        So I checked why this actually is a problem: GIF’s and the Pi just really hate each other, because unlike a video it gets processed in the cpu. However showing the gif as a video in a loop should work a lot better ;)
        Will try this and let you know how it worked out

          You need to put a Chevy Bowtie around that!

          Is that an image, or what?

              I hope someone has a clue about this problem. Magic Mirror ect has a black background. However when I show it on my monitor it appears a bit gray. I would usually say thats because of the monitor. However when I plug in my windows laptop and show black it’s a lot darker. Whats the reason that my debian has no real black?

                1. Found the problem the raspberry used limited RGBinstead of full RGB now it’s real black ;)
                2. the video runs without lagg however it’s really at the limit lol
                  need a cooler otherwise the raspberry keeps overheating

                  And yes, Mykle is very correct about the voice issue.

                  The point I was really trying to make is that ubuntu uses the least amount of resources and turns a useless/worthless laptop into an excellent MM board that outperforms any Pi.

                    I would recommend a fan for any Pi running MM. I learned that quickly enough. :-)

                      @Mykle1 since I need some more raspi anyways I might just give it a 3b+ so I have a bit more power (I am at stable 83% cpu usage so the 17% should help a bit) and a already included cooler

                        When you get it installed on your Atom device, I would definitely like to know your outcome!

                        I have ubuntu, MM, and Hello Lucy running on a POS EeePC. The thing was ready for the trash. Amazing how well it runs now. Oh yeah, it’s an Atom processor.
