        Personally, I want the mirror as close to the monitor glass as possible. I’ve made a few mirrors. In all cases, that meant removing the front bezel from the monitor at the very least. With that in mind, do it whatever way makes you happiest. :-)

          I wish I knew how to disassemble a monitor
          I tried it once but the monitor did not survive because of short circuit

          So far I just glued the mirror glas onto the frame of my 24 inch Benq monitor

            @thedoorsfanatic clearly you cut a wire when pulling it apart. use plastic, patience, and small moves.

              @thedoorsfanatic Try to find a guide on youtube on how to disassemble a benq monitor. I just googled for “disassebmle benq monitor” and found a few videos on yt. Maybe your model is amongst them.
