Mirror larger than monitor
-
Hi,
does anybody know, if it still looks good if the mirror is larger than the monitor?
-
i got a 50x50 mirror with a approx. 24° monitor.
i taped the free area of the mirror to get full darkness behind it.
looks very good :)
-
Could you share some pictures? I would love to see for myself.
-
Is there any downside when the mirror is bigger (*1,5 or *2) than the monitor behind it?
For example my current idea would look like this:
-
@ZombieDE the bleeding of the monitor could be more obvious if its not all over the place
-
@strawberry-3.141 How bad could it get? Sorry, I have no experience with mirrors.
Do you have any pictures how it could look like?
(I changed/updated my first question) -
@ZombieDE this depends on the brightness of your monitor and the light transition of the mirror, for example here you can see the cut where the monitor ends https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1250/my-first-build-using-a-lasered-frame/2

@strawberry-3.141 I’ll use the two way mirror form Germany (light transmisson 24 percent)and (probably) the BenQ GL2760H (contrast 1000:1, brightness 300 nits = 300 cd/m²) if you can get something out of it.

@ZombieDE I guess @Goldjunge_Chriz can help you more with your question

For what it’s worth, I have a mirror that’s larger than my monitor:
Monitor: 12.5x19.5"
Mirror: 14x22"It looks totally fine. There was some bleed at the edge of the monitor where you could see some light-glow, but I taped that down with electrical tape and now it’s perfect.
