Where to get (cheap) acrylic mirror from in Germany

My test mirror finally arrived today, and I immediately took some photos with it on my screen for you guys ;) I didn’t have much time though, so it’s just a very quick test
I think it looks great, and even though the mirror is VERY reflective (3% transmission) the things displayed on screen are still clearly visible (and I only tested with the normal Windows 10 desktop with a rather dark grey background, but not with a raspi + magic mirror software yet)
@DirkS this one gets quite close to the “shiny bathroom mirror”, which you said the myspiegel.de one is not
I’ll post more pictures when I get on with my build (I’ll build something with that piece of mirror, even though it’s that small…), but that’ll probably not be before next week

@dbahn25 Referring to your review I ordered a mirror at glas-per-klick.de immediately. My mirror has the size 60x40cm and I will build the complete smartmirror in the next weeks!
So thank you very very much for your review, I’m really happy with that result! :) -

Would you post a few pictures of the packaging when you get it? I really wonder how they ship such a big piece of glass, even my small one came in a huge box buried under tons of paper and bubblewrap… -

As promised, the final result is here. I love it, Have fun, Stefan

The Mirror from glas-per-klick looks very cool and the price is not so bad, but they don’t cut the Mirror to my needed size? I’m right or oversee something?
I have tested my MM with a selfmade Mirror from Plexiglass and Mirror Foil, but it looks very poorly. Now I need a real Mirror. The MagicMirror is a neverending project, i spent so much time to wait on a Parcel Service like DHL, UPS, Amazon Logistics and so on :-D -

You should probably write to them to ask if they have any other sizes (but I think generally, 60x40cm is quite a good size for a MM).
I tested the glas-per-klick mirror with MM and a Pi 2. In daylight, right next to a window, it’s a bit too dark. My monitor is not really that bright, so it should be fine with a better monitor. When it’s dark and there’s only the ceiling light on (which is quite bright), the mirror’s perfectly fine to read.

Hi dbahn25!
Could you, please, take some photos in daylight? I’d like to build MM for my girlfriend, that can be used like a normal mirror in a bright room. Actually it’s more important than being smart. :)
Thanks in advance!
