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

      Is that a problem ?

        That’ll do. Virtually any display will work.

            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 …?

                    I think you can consider kiperlline, which is moderate in size and cheap, which is perfect for you.
