      Will the HANNspree HF225DPB monitor work for the Magic Mirror application?

      It doesn’t have an HDMI input, but could I just use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect the Pi 3 to the monitor?

      Thanks!

            that’s what I am doing. I was using an adapter for initial testing, then I bought a HDMI to DVD cable from amazon for the final build. Works just fine

                  Dont get a straight VGA to HDMI cable because it wouldnt work. You would need convertor which is a bit larger than you would expect and often need to be powered.

                    Right, you need an active HDMI-VGA converter.

                    You could go for this: https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-hdmi-to-vga-convertor
                    However the “chain” looks a bit ugly (second image) and I could imagine it is a bit unsteady.

                    Or you go for this: https://www.pi-supply.com/product/gert-vga-666-hardware-vga-raspberry-pi/
                    However this blocks almost all GPIO ports and you need to solder it on your own, as it is a kit
