@bellroy damn, that’s strange. Was the size much different?

@bellroy yup. Monitor dimensions are 345 x 570 (still full enclosed) so I gave each side an additional 10mm to allow the mirror to be held in place securely for when I build the frame.

@bellroy my mirror suits a 24 inch monitor, so I asked for a piece that was 365 x 590 mm (to allow some room around the edges).

@E3V3A I’m for it

@yawns

@yawns you’re spot on, it looks good in person, but right now that mirror is just resting against the monitor, which itself is still fully assembled.

I got a sample piece which I held against the screen directly and it’s absolutely crisp, so once this has an enclosure and is mounted properly, it should look even better.

Well it took… oh wow, 2 months haha, but okay! I have actually found someone in Melbourne who will provide and cut to size some good quality mirror glass. Prices seem very reasonable too, $100 quote for a piece that will suit a 24 inch monitor (with room to spare around the edges). I’ve just picked up my order and it looks gooooddd (see image, and pardon the face xD)

You can contact them at www.msglass.com.au, and they supply MirrorKote which can have either a grey or silver coating. Silver definitely looks best.

Can’t wait to build a frame around this bad boy!

@bellroy Like many others on this thread, I’m currently stuck on the 2 way mirror part. I’ve hit up a few local places with no luck, thinking of trying the Bunnings option mentioned above. If you do find a place that isn’t exorbitant in price, please be sure to let us know!
