Mirror larger than monitor
-
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.
-
But how did You fix the monitor in the frame an on the mirror,. have some pictures. I fear the Monitor is to heavy for taping,. and if a take separators,. I fear the monitor falling through the mirror,… so how to really fix the monitor?
any help? -
I also have a mirror that is about twice the size of the monitor (60x40cm mirror, 19" 5:4 monitor) and in normal daylight it’s totally not visible. At night, however, when there is no other light in the room you can clearly see where the monitor ends
-
@dbahn25 I’d recommend putting black tape or something similar on the inside of the mirror where the monitor doesn’t show to combat this.
