      Are there any cheap OLED displays out there? Would be much more energy efficient, wouldn’t it?

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

          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. ;)

                  @KirAsh4 yeah sadly… We will probably have to wait a few more years for that :(

                    I use this monitor:

                    https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/samsung-s24e650pl-24-60cm-250cdm-1920-x-1080-pixel-schwarz-monitor-5647268

                      I got this one for 200 euro in MediaMarkt:

                      http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/435115/lg-27mp37vq-b-zwart.html

                      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.

                        I can advise to use use ViewSonic!
                        e.g.:
                        https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00K6E8ACU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
                        I used now two of them for both: it’s not too difficult to get rid of the bezel, they are very slim, and all connectors showing down

                        br!
