      Nice build. Could you add some more information like

      • why did you build it
      • what are things you might change in the future
      • things you might have “learned the hard way”

      People like to see pictures, but they also like to read a story behind it :)

        What’s brand/model of the monitor you used? Also, where did you get the mirror itself from?

        Very well done, I may try to build one that size myself.

          Hi!
          I used a 32tums lcd screen. But lcd makes the screen sometimes visible through the mirror so next time there will be a led screen.

          Everything is built by hand even the mirror. Went to a glass shop that cut out the glass for me. Then I applied a mirror film that I bought online. Also the frame is built from scratch.

          I’am writing down the whole process and will update the post shortly for more information :)

            Yes, like @yawns, I like the story as much as the pictures. I am particularly impressed that you dealt with all that film. Job well done! :thumbsup:

                @lofgren used film on this mirror. I never used film so I can’t recommend any vendors to you. Perhaps someone else will. I think most people are using acrylic mirrors or glass mirrors. Glass mirrors are best, acrylic mirrors come next, and then film. Again, I’ve never used film but I understand it is a lot more work and perhaps difficult to manage, as well.

                Do a search right here in the forum for “what kind of mirror to use” and you should find plenty of advice
