That is totally reasonable, you know I’m just kidding, right?
Of course. I laughed my a$$ off because I was picturing YOU picturing ME sitting at the keyboard, endlessly refreshing the page. That’s funny bro!

Yeah he knows… we are kinda of the same mind @yawns we both have a great sense of humor! Nothing personal here… just fun
The only difference (well, not the only one) is that I am much funnier that cowboysdude. ;-) snort

Thanks! Have fun!

Looks great! Quick question - how’ve you got on with the acrylic mirror? Some people have said there’s some distortion with their mirrors/that it doesn’t like like an actual mirror/can scratch fairly easily. How has yours faired?

At close range there is no distortion, as it appears in the pictures. However, the further away you are from the mirror there is some noticeable distortion. For me, it’s not a big deal, as I only care what it looks like when I am standing in front of it. At close range it looks no different than an ordinary mirror. For $34 I feel it is well worth it, although I will use a better quality mirror on my next build.
Does it scratch? I was/am pretty careful with it and there are no new imperfections since I got it but it did come with three minor imperfections. By this I mean there are 3 pixel sized “holes” in the reflective coating that are only noticeable when the background is white/light. In MagicMirror mode they are not visible at all because the background is black.
So, all things considered, I’m more than happy with the price/performance of the acrylic for my first build but I will use a better quality mirror for my next build.

Oh, it’s gonna happen. :-)

This is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!
I’m also preparing for making a magic mirror by myself, so your experience would definitely help me a lot!By the way, is your magic mirror touch-screen? And if I want to make a touchable magic mirror, does that mean I need a touchable led monitor?
Thank you so much!

No, my mirror is not touch-screen. You will have to put 2-way mirror glass in front of the monitor so I don’t think a touchable monitor is applicable here, unless you don’t intend to make it a mirror. Most people are using something like this in front of a normal monitor.
There are different kinds and sizes so you may want to a make a new topic here and ask what people are using.

Good luck to you and enjoy making your mirror.
