      @MadScientist I have now ordered the Mirastar from Brigla for a really great price of 40 €. Had to cut one side by 0.5 cm to get the lower freight fee :-)
      I chose this one with lower transmission because the mirror will be in a room without windows, only one LED ceiling light.
      Let’s make a comparison when we have them.

        I am currently fighting with the software and I still have to build the frame but I’ll post pictures once everything is done.
        I already got my mirror and it is indeed dark. Though, that should be ok as it is a tiny room with a window (our guest toilet).

        Edit: I would like to mention the very nice service of Brigla. First, it arrived only 24 hours after I placed the order but the mirror had a minor defect (one tiny spot without refective coating). So I wrote them an email about it yesterday. This morning they replied they would ship another mirror and I don’t have to return the old one. Effectively giving me two for the price of one…
        Fun fact: They are only 70km from where I live.

            It’s one hour per direction. Not worth for 12.50€ but I would probably do for bigger mirrors as the shipping costs can get quite expensive.

              Update: I have received my MiraCast from Brigla about a week after order. Positively surprised by the reflection so far, but it’s not installed yet.
              Unfortunately I have some defects in the mirroring plane. Two lines of small spots that don’t reflect. Could only be seen by looking closely, but of course, still a defect.

              I have claimed the defects and will get a new mirror soon without any costs!
              I can keep the old one :-)

                I finally received my replacement mirror and it has no defects. So basically I got two mirrors for 48€ incl. shipping. The first has only a tiny defect which makes it still usable for a second mirror.

                My frame is also almost done. I just painted it a second time and I am now waiting for the paint to dry. Next week I should be able to put everything together.
