      @Sean said in LED display shines through:

      VA

      sorry for misunderstanding.
      I kept in mind and thought about VA but typed PLS.
      Of course the diff in IPS and VA is visible especially in dark color, due to the higher contrast in the last one.
      You are right.
      Late response speed is not an issues for MM projects I think.

        @Sean Thank you very much for that info. I need a monitor between 17 to 19 inches. I’ll see if I can find something.

            @maiky09 it is not VA. Check all monitors suitable for you in terms of size/price and check at other website which type of matrix these LCD have. As was said above, the best option is VA (Vertical Alignment)

                I decided to buy the one in the following link:

                I know it’s not VA, but I saw a tutorial recommending it, and the work went well. I hope it works for me.

                  Finally, it depends on your environment where MM is used. So IPS (easy to get) could be enough Or even VA couldn’t. With low transparency of spymirror, 1:5000 contrast might not be satisfied at all on strong daylight condition.
                  The only point I want to tell is to consider FHD (1920*1080). It is the max resolution which RPI can handle (but if you consider other SBC like ATB, RockPi, Odroid, Nvidia Jetson, … etc. 4K could be available). You may probably need more real-estate to show other cool info.
