What Monitor did you use?
-
Since my monitor seems to get a bit dim after 2 years of full-time running (yes I know, I should use a PIR sensor), my mirror monitor seems to become a bit dim.
I’m looking for a extremely bright, super flat, affordable monitor. Preferable 24". Any suggestions?

Are there any cheap OLED displays out there? Would be much more energy efficient, wouldn’t it?
-
@paviro And much nicer! No more “light bleeding”!
-
Absolutely and nearly nothing would need to be lit so a lot less energy. I also though about adding just the LCD matrix without the backlight in front of the mirror, would that work? I once had a clock that was transparent and had a display on it.
-
@paviro Then your mirror would be inverted.
-
Mhh that’s right
So it’s OLED I guess 
-
Man those are expensive though …
-
@KirAsh4 yeah sadly… We will probably have to wait a few more years for that

I use this monitor:

I got this one for 200 euro in MediaMarkt:

It’s very thin - especially without the bezel (I think it’s 13mm at its thickest) and the control board is completely detachable and only slightly bigger than the Raspberry Pi. It was a very easy install. Only downside is that the HDMI cable comes straight out - the back they all seem to these days. I solved this with a 90 degree HDMI cable.
