    • Anti-glare or not?

      I was wondering what the community thinks about anti-glare layer on the monitor. People, who have built several mirrors will probably know the difference in the two.
      So yeah, is the end result better if there’s an anti-glare layer on the monitor or is it better without one?

    • RE: Cheapest Monitor

      Seems like a good price. I was a bit worried about it being TN panel (they usually have very poor viewing angles), but the website lists it with 170 / 160‎ viewing angle. I think the colors will still be messed up at larger angles, but since MagicMirror is mostly black and white, it doesn’t matter so much.
      Overall, I haven’t owned a TN panel in years, so I can’t give a certain answer.
      EDIT: But then again, I don’t live in the USA, so maybe the prices are a bit lower there. 50 € for a used monitor is a quite okay price over here.

    • RE: Stopsol classic clear glass

      Hmm, weird. I figured that if it’s not transmitting, it’s reflecting. Now that I think about it, there’s also absorbing of the light. I suppose it’s not suitable then, thank you very much for the input! 🙂

    • Stopsol classic clear glass

      So I am thinking about making my first MagicMirror and am currently trying to find a place to purchase a two-sided mirror. One glazier I contacted told me that they could sell me glass called “Stopsol classic clear”, however I am not sure if that is suitable for the magic mirror project. I am not a native speaker and I don’t know much about glass, so I was hoping that maybe someone from this forum could tell me, if this glass is suitable.

      Website: http://www.yourglass.com/agc-glass-europe/gb/en/solar_control_glazing/stopsol/classic/clear/product_description.html

      I read the manual and I think the “Tv” column stands for light transmission, in that case the glass would not be suitable, I think. I read from some other posts, that the transmission should stay between 12-20%.

      Any help is appreciated!
