      I think mine has 70% reflection and 30% transmission. Okay I understand it now so their Dielectric would only make sense in bright environments.

      We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

        Aaaaand that “Vanity Glass”, at the size of the monitor I’m using (22x15), with polished edges, would cost $600 … I’m actually afraid to see what the full size that I plan to use would cost.

        Ok, I checked … $2k. I’ll get right on that. :)

        A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

                Yeah, the acrylic, at the monitor size (22x15), would be about $103 … But I’m putting it on a wall, a much larger piece … that’s gonna be 'spensive!

                    I got my two mirrors (24" and 27") here (germany): https://www.myspiegel.de/spionspiegel-pg-2102.html
                    Good quality! I’ll post some pictures soon.

                    At first I wanted to give foils a try, but the result was terrible.

                      If only people would understand this and not try to save a few bucks on a +$200,- project … ;)

                        Thanks to all for your answers and contributions.
                        Is there any recommandation about the best reflection and transmission ratio to use for such magic mirror ?
                        Sometimes, I had seen mirrors for which you can select different thickness. What are yours and what are the impact observed please ? Have you any recommandations about thickness of mirror ?
                        Thanks to all makers :)

                          @MichMich I’m assuming you mean the ± symbol. That’s fine, I just like correcting people. :smile:

                          Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.

                            I just ordered a 20" acrylic mirror at dokterplexiglas.nl for only 13 euro. Do not know the quality yet.

                                Has anyone tried this place? https://www.cutplasticsheeting.co.uk/mirrored-sheeting/two-way-acrylic-mirror

                                Pretty decent price for the size I need (~£30)

                                    @feuerball No not yet. They did not have it in stock. They’ll probably have it ready by the 20th of may

                                          Any of you guys that were waiting for your mirror have any experience to share yet?

                                            @djsunrise19 IS it really 8mm thick as the site says? Must be quite heavy. I’ve also seen mirrors which consist of 2 panes with reflective foil sandwiched in between… What type is the https://www.myspiegel.de/spionspiegel-pg-2102.html one?

                                            Any pictures to share yet?
