      Here is a video, demonstrating the three types of lightning I have in my bathroom: backlight from the mirror frame, ambient lights and main ceiling lights https://youtu.be/wqJNxCwOmck

      To be honest I almost never use the main ceiling lights - only when I am thoroughly cleaning the bathroom, most of the time I use only the backlight from the mirror frame or the ambient lightning as that is enough for me.

        The mirror looks quite nice from the video. Still a bit “dark” though.
        I guess I have to learn to cope with the fact a 2-way-mirror simply not being as good as a regular mirror when it comes to “mirroring” ;-)

          @tomster I guess the only solution to achieve a regular mirror reflection is to have a custom-built mirror where only the area in front of the display is 2-way mirror and the rest is a regular mirror coating, but I can’t imagine how much would that cost :D

          I am happy with my mirror now and so is my girlfriend. It is better than the other mirror that I ordered here on the forum and it is much cheaper so I decided to share that with everyone. I barely make any profit out of this since I have a well-paid full-time job and I am doing this for the community since I gathered a lot of knowledge from here throughout the years and I decided to give something back in return.

            That sounds very interesting, how much do you think shipping to Denmark would be, and what is the minimum price, I mean 299 €/m2, if I only get a 50cmx50cm it’s only 1/4 of that, so is there a minimum price for smaller mirrors?
            And where do they ship from inside/outside of EU?

              @fribse There is no minimum price or order. Whatever you need, I will provide :)
              50x50 cm would be 74,75 EUR and the shipping to Denmark would be 30 EUR by Bulgarian Post (delivery time up to 7 days) or 35 EUR by DPD (delivery time 3-5 days)

                You have a picture from daylight? AS well a comparission to Chriz mirror would be good at daylight.

                  @internetpolice Yeah I could do that, if you don’t mind the fact that Chriz is partly broken :) I will try to post some pictures later.

                        The price would be 59,80 EUR for the mirror and you can choose the shipping method:

                        • Option 1 - Bulgarian Posts - 33,21 EUR
                        • Option 2 - DPD - 39,49 EUR

                          Denis,
                          do you also ship samples?
                          Greetings,
                          Tom

                            @tomster I will try to get some samples but I can’t promise anything.

                            @InternetPolice Sorry for the long wait for the mirror comparison pictures, but my setup is quite big for a single person to handle so I have to wait for some help to get it off the wall, unhook the power, take it to a bright spot with natural light, put the mirrors next to each other and take some good photos from all angles.

                              @ivanov_d Don´t hesitate. Keep the mirror in one peace if it getting critical for you.

                                @internetpolice here is the video that I promised https://youtu.be/IN2Kyfa8_Qc I recorded it at 4K/50p so it should be rich in detail.

                                  Thanx for the video, Denis. Looking good!
                                  Are you sure your mirror is 40% transmission? From the video it looks way less…

                                    @tomster I am sure. It looks like this because I haven’t dismantled the monitor from the back so the light is not passing through all the way and actually the foil on the back is black, not white as the one used previously. The results IMHO are way better and closer to the look of a real mirror as you can see from the video.

                                      OK, that sounds reasonable. Thank you for clarifying.
                                      If you get the chance to come-by a sample (e.g. 100x100mm) , I’d be happy to order (=pay for) one of those.

                                        @ivanov_d count me in on one.

                                        1,2m x 0,7m shipping to germany

                                        On what basis do you need the input design for the laser cut foil?

                                        Regards
                                        Eldrik

                                          @eldrik something like that would suffice:

                                          As for the price, it would be:

                                          • 2-way mirror with polished edges and laser cut foil as per your drawing, size 1.2x0.7 meters (0,84 sq. m): 251,16 EUR
                                          • Shipping to Germany: between 31 and 40 EUR (I have to double check that for you)
