What Monitor did you use?

you are absoluty right, the bleeding in the dark is not the thing which worries me most.

currently the position is not optimal, i´m still waiting for the hanging pads. if i go down a bit to improve the angel things get better.

has anyone ever tried both: TN and IPS Panel? I will switch over to IPS and hope that things will improve once more.

I have a three screen setup in front of me right now, one IPS in the middle and two TN besides it.
the TN panels are crap in comparison (yes they where cheaper ofc) the viewing angle and colors are the most obvious things that stands out.
If adjusted to extremes the contrast on the ips is much higher.

And if you planning on using the screen on it’s side I would pretty much exclude tn panels, it just looks weird and the viewing angles from the side usually aren’t good enough.

Hey :)
i am searching for a monitor and my favorite in the moment is this one: https://www.amazon.de/HP-T3M86AA-Monitor-Reaktionszeit-schwarz/dp/B01G1M5B2C/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1480673385&sr=1-3

What do you think about this one?

@sakuwa i would not recommend this monitor! IPS Panel is good but the brightness is just 250cd/m2 - better go for one with 300cd/m2
price sounds good but resolution is not that fine for 27", also the connections are upright what makes it hard to build a slim mirror

I will use an old HP2448hc.
This monitor got a glossy panel.

Is that a problem ?

That’ll do. Virtually any display will work.

Anybody gone 55"+ ?

I want to do this install in my bathroom but my OCD won’t allow the modules not to be perfectly lined up in each corner!

how did you do that with the display panel? I have the DELL 19 "1905FPV and would like to use it as a mirror. Do I need an extra panel for the connection …?
