    Hey,

    i used a basic wooden frame and a 24 inch monitor.

    Monitor
    i used this monitor, because its very flat and had the perfect size for the 60x40cm glass:

    i did not remove any plastic from the monitor, so i can reuse the monitor if i want.

    Glass

    (german website)

    it has 3% opacity. For me it was important, that you can’t see the monitor that well (gray background light), so this one was a perfect choice. Maybe in an open room with sunlight you need more opacity.

    What i may do
    Silicon gap between mirror and wooden frame
    Add motion sensor for energy saving purpose
    Build some modules for smart home
