      Does my display need to touch the back of my Magic Mirror? It has a small bezel at the bottom which I don’t want to remove. What is the maximum distance from display to mirror?

      The bezel is like 2mm and just at the bottom. What effect will this have on the projected image?

      My monitor:

        @ovg That will work fine. I didn’t take the bezel off mine either. There’s a 1 - 2 mm gap between the LCD screen and the glass, and it works fine.

          Great, thank you.

          What actually happens as you go further from the screen? Does it start to blur?

            @ovg I have no idea. I’m guessing at some point you’ll start to see some reflection, and I’m guessing the brightness will suffer, but a few millimeters shouldn’t make any kind of significant difference.
