@Sean the background isn’t blue, it’s black. possibly that the angle of the photo I took makes look like blue. I already have tried to set the brightness and the contrast both to 50% still same thing. but it’s possible that the type of the mirror I’m using really sucks. that’s why I ordered another one

@broberg I already have ordered a new mirror with 15% light transmission, not sure if that’s good enough. I’m also afraid that issue from the backlight, because the lcd’s backlight was broken and I manged to find someone to get it fixed for me.

@davidnesbitt7 I haven’t heared of MMM-remote-control before, looks really useful. thanks for the heads up, I definitely gonna try it out.

@schlachtkreuzer6 tbs I got really a cheap one next door, I already have orderd a better one from ebay. hope it would make a difference. other than that the issue could be from the lcd I’m using

hello everyone,

I have attempted to make my own magic mirror so far everything looks good except that the screen behind the mirror looks really ridiculous, even thought I have already set up the brightness settings to the lowest. I’m using a laptop screen powered with a controller board. I’m not sure what should I do to fix this, any recommendations?

Thanks.
