        @thedk So what’s your conclusion?
        It’s difficult to really see the difference from the pictures.
        And what types of Mirastar and Mirropane have you chosen and where have you bought them (I’m from germany as well)

          Bought at Brigla-shop.de. Cheapest shop i found.
          Both are 4mm glas. The Mirastar is way darker, looks like you cant see everything when i have the light on. But you can see everything and, very imporant for me, you cant see the Display anymore.

            @thedk I have a Mirastar from Brigla as well. And they are indeed the cheapest. I found it a bit too dark and too brownish/yellowish. But the mirror is in a small room without natural lighting. That may be my problem.
            Now trying out the Mirropane Chromespy 4mm in a better lit room.

              In case you haven’t and for completeness: Keep in mind as well that the css colors are set to quite dark greys, so additionally to mirror transmission, monitor brightness, you can as well maipulate the brightness of the texts using css.
              I have the feeling that lots of people don’t think abou that.
