      I just started work on my 4th mirror and this one is 27" diagonal. I did one mirror that was 83" x 14" so it’s pretty much “whatever works for the space”.

        @dcarls91 I’m using a Vizio 32" HD tv and it is awesome! OF course I’m also using a ITX motherboard and not a pi

        @dcarls91 Raspberry Pi will work fine with a TV as well. ITX board comes in handy for other processing tasks, but the Pi has no problems outputting 1080p over HDMI.

          Awesome, thanks for all of your input. Ended up with a 22" monitor to start with.

              @j-e-f-f That is true…In my case I need more than the pi could handle.
