        Should work just fine, it has HDMI and audio out, and is a mere 54mm thick without foot.

        Go for it.

          Thank you @broberg, i just started to disassembly it. Looks quite thick, so i need to make a big frame.

          Next step will be the frame and look for a appropriate mirrorsupplier in germany

                We are not 9m² away from being able to order, it will just get cheaper with more than 20m². (There was an update to the conditions)
                From what I understand, ordering is possible with the current amount already.

                  Ok, i posted in the thread, lets see the progress.

                  Another thing is, my monitor has a touchpad connected with flat wire to the frame alt text
                  I am just wondering how the raspi could even switch the monitor on or how i will control the Magic Mirror ;)

                    @fox maybe you can hack the soft buttons, and emulate them with the pi over gpio pins, write some code …

                      Good idea this could work. Even when the brightness / contrast is adjusted i need only P_ON/OFF, and i can put a signal on the GPIO Pin when the raspi boots, soldered parallel on the wire.
                      Thx for this idea!

                        Remember, the pi GPIOs can only handle 3V3. Check the voltage of the monitor buttons with a multimeter before soldering. You will likely need a level shifter.
