        @Wahbi What is the exact problem? your comments are some ambiguous.
        Ist that blue(?) background, not your intention? You’d better control not only brightness but also contrast. set brightness around 50%, and raise the contrast over 50%. It might be a solution.

          Backlight is an issue with almost all LCD screens, this can be remedied by either a mirror with less light transmission (this will effectively dampen all light, even the parts you want to show.) or switch the monitor to a better one with a higher contrast, LED is usually better than CCFL when it comes to bleed through of the backlight. If you have a lot of money OLED is the shizzle, but it’s almost impossible to find in monitor sizes.

                @broberg I already have ordered a new mirror with 15% light transmission, not sure if that’s good enough. I’m also afraid that issue from the backlight, because the lcd’s backlight was broken and I manged to find someone to get it fixed for me.

                  @Sean the background isn’t blue, it’s black. possibly that the angle of the photo I took makes look like blue. I already have tried to set the brightness and the contrast both to 50% still same thing. but it’s possible that the type of the mirror I’m using really sucks. that’s why I ordered another one
