Two way mirror film

Excellent! Thank you for giving us a solid reference to use going forward.

@dgregory19 You need external window film as there are 2 types installed internal / external.
For a magic mirror you need external or yes it will be back to front when you apply it. -
@fermamitiprego imho I literally HATE acrylic films. :persevering_face:
It starts showing scratches at first glance and the surface is so imperfect and full of bubbles …
I don’t know the size of the LCD monitor you are going to use, but consider into using a REAL glass like ie. a Pilkington MirroView!

@cr4z33 I think we all agree that MirrorView is far superior, but the whole point of trying to make due with mirror film is because of the very high cost for MirrorView.
-
@dæmoneyes Yeah I think they have different uses. I was actually wondering if with an old sumsung PC monitor that I was actually going to keep the case after appling the film and rehouse as a table mirror.
I guess there are different qualities of film and don’t forget to get external mirror film than the internal stuff where the adhesive and mirror are the wrong way round.
Just a 22" stand was pretty nice and the cost would of been a Pi-Zero W + Buck convertor + £10 Film and some bits and bats but yeah it would of been ok.
Pi was just going to get epoxied onto the back via some 10mm plastic standoffs. -
@dæmoneyes yes correct, but if you aren’t going to do a mirror bigger than let’s say a A4 paper then you can ask Pilkington to send you a free sample.
I did and they sent it without any hassle. 😉
