My Magic Mirror
-
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:

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 homeScreenshots
Ready mirror
Back of the mirror
For the front border i just used a wooden strip from my local shop
