What Monitor did you use?

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?
-
I think it’s quite normal for them to bleed light in darkness - the one-way-mirror needs light on the ‘outside’ in order to overpower the light from the monitor.
If you’re not seeing much when the lights are on, then you can try moving the mirror into a different position - the angle of teh light can make a difference.
Also, have you tried playing around with the backlight settings, contrast etc on the monitor?
-
you are absoluty right, the bleeding in the dark is not the thing which worries me most.
currently the position is not optimal, i´m still waiting for the hanging pads. if i go down a bit to improve the angel things get better.
has anyone ever tried both: TN and IPS Panel? I will switch over to IPS and hope that things will improve once more.
-
I have a three screen setup in front of me right now, one IPS in the middle and two TN besides it.
the TN panels are crap in comparison (yes they where cheaper ofc) the viewing angle and colors are the most obvious things that stands out.
If adjusted to extremes the contrast on the ips is much higher.And if you planning on using the screen on it’s side I would pretty much exclude tn panels, it just looks weird and the viewing angles from the side usually aren’t good enough.
