Just been looking at making up a smart mirror and intend on using a Raspberry Pi with a laptop LCD screen.

I intend on using the following parts:

Window Film Paper Insulation Stickers One Way Mirror:

GENUINE LG 17.1" LCD CCFL LAPTOP SCREEN DISPLAY GLOSSY LP171WP4 (TL)(R4)

HDMI+DVI+VGA LCD LED Screen Controller board Converter Kit for LP171WP4(TL)(N1)

12V 1A AC/DC Adapter Charger Power Supply

I will then use some wood (possibly an old photo frame) to size up the mirror and tidy up with 3D printed components / duck tape.

Has anyone else done this the same / a similar way, and if so what difficulties did you encounter?
