It looks like acrylic would be the better way to go for me. I don’t think I’m ready to spend the $ on glass for the first build. I see a lot of recommendations for acrylic mirrors from TapPlastics.com, but I see that the local Home Depot/Lowe’s also sell acrylic mirrors for a lot less. I’m wondering if these would also get the job done for a first build:

You must have a ‘two way’ mirror no matter where you purchase it from. A standard mirror will not work for MM. Notice that your Tap Plastics link states that it is a two way mirror. Also notice that your Home Depot link does NOT state two way mirror.

Thanks for the clarification @Mykle1 - think I’m going to hit up a few plastic spots near me to see what prices I get.

I just bought 2 - 32" LED NON Smart TV’s that were on sale for 60 bucks each… I’ll store them until I can figure out what to do with them.

@cowboysdude I have a 32 in tv as a photo frame w call and weather.
Some days running MagicMirror, some days running smart-mirror. Depending on what I think needs to be worked on
