@j.e.f.f Apologies, I may have confused you. The monitor does NOT have glass in front of the screen, only the two samples that I placed directly on top of the monitor. So I’m not really sure why the reflection is present. So just to confirm there is no glass on glass. So i’m not really sure why the reflection is present. Any ideas Jeff?
@j.e.f.f Yeah it’s sitting right on the glass. I’m hoping it’s the glass and not the monitor. I’m not sure why the effect is happening though. Any ideas? I may have to try the standard two way glass and see how this compares. If not, I’ll have to go for the acrylic.
@j.e.f.f hi Jeff I have another question. I ordered a sample of both the 3mm acrylic and 6mm mirrorview glass. I’ve taken a photo of the monitor to show an example:
Acrylic on left. Glass on right.
Now it seems like the glass looks much better HOWEVER. if I’m being picky if you look closely at the clouds by 16:00, 19:00 etc there seems to be another feint reflection of the cloud if this makes sense. I’m wondering if this is completely normal or will this cause annoyances in the future.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
@j.e.f.f Okay thanks for the information mate! The website suggests the 6mm two way MirrorView glass for use with TVs/monitors so I guess I’ll go for that one!
@j.e.f.f Thanks for the info. Will it matter that the glass is 6mm and the acrylic is 3mm?
As weight is not an issue I’ll probably go for the glass!
@j.e.f.f Thanks for the reply! I have found another mirror supplier which does mirrors designed for in-front of TV and monitor screens:
http://www.mirrorsandglass.co.uk/shop/made-to-measure-mirroview-cut-to-size
It’s not that much of a price difference compared to the acrylic! My mirror will be 32cmx50cm. Should I just go for the glass mirror over the acrylic one?
Thanks in advance for the info!
Hi all,
Has anyone here used a 3mm two-way acrylic mirror and had good results? The reason I ask is because I am from the UK and have found this site that sells them at a pretty good price:
http://www.cutplasticsheeting.co.uk/mirrored-sheeting/two-way-acrylic-mirror
I’ve read that you can get two-way glass too, would this be a significant improvement over the acrylic? If so, does anyone know a UK website that supplies custom ones?
Also another question if I may, the monitor has a really small bezel around it (about 2mm/0.2cm). Would I need to remove this for the best results? Would it even matter if there is a tiny gap between the glass and mirror?
What would be the pros and cons of removing/not removing this small bezel.
Thank you to anyone that reads this.
@Mykle1 We learn something new everyday! :) I’ve only started my magic mirror this week and I find this forum is so engaged and passionate about the mirror and all of its amazing stuff I love it.
I think my plan of action now will be: if at some point there is an update to fix this issue with the newest version I’ll just buy another SD card and keep this one as a backup.
@Mykle1 Thank you for the quick reply!
For the custom modules I used the git commands however, for the magic mirror module I just downloaded it and unzipped it, as I wasn’t sure if I could use a git command to request a specific version of magic mirror. Is there a way of using git to call MM 2.1.0? Just out of pure curiosity!
