So, I am almost done with my project. Just waiting for some small parts from China.
Now I will have to start thinking which 2-way mirror to buy. I found some options in Germany (where I live) but I am not sure which one is best for a Magic Mirror.
The LCD comes from a 24" screen with a faulty power supply. I’d like to have the mirror the same size as the LCD panel, or at least not too much bigger. These are the mirrors I found that are available in Germany:
Glas-per-klick.de:
Spionspiegel Silber, 4mm thick, 40x60cm, 57€ plus shipping.
Mirona “STANDARD”, 4mm, 40x60cm, 61€ plus shipping
Mirona “BEAMSPLITTER”, 4mm, 40x60, 105€ plus shipping
Glas-star.de:
Pilkington Mirropane Chrome Spy, 4mm, 55.6x32.3cm (exact same size as LCD), 4mm, 135€ incl. shipping
MySpiegel.de:
55.6x32.3cm, 8mm, 69€ plus shipping.
The one from MySpiegel is very think and therefore heavy I assume. The price is pretty good though but I read that it quit dark.
Only heard positive things about the Pilkington. It’s by far the most expensive but I don’t mind if it worth it. Has anyone experiences with the Mirona “STANDARD”? The price is very attractive. Is the high price justified for the BEAMSPLITTER? How about the quality of the cheapest “Silber” one?
Would love to get some feedback before I place the order just to be disappointed afterwards. :-)
