We should gather all the relevant information and combine them in a big tutorial.
For example i also miss some reference to unclutter to hide the mousecursor.
For early beginners it should be as easy as possible… Maybe i will work on that the next weeks.

@yawns
Depends on the definition of “see”
I mean, it looks like a normal mirror to me but ofc you can see a little golden “glance”.
In my opinion it’s acceptable quality…

Sounds strange but did set a system time?
Sometimes it’s messing around without.

It depends on the 8%-value of the transmission of the mirror. If you select a different mirror type (with higher % ) you will see it better in the sunlight. But then you will see probably the backlight of the screen through the mirror with closed shutters.

I got 2 years ago some samples with diferrent transmission ratios. Was very helpful for me before ordering something with the try and error approach

I’m not sure if the depth of the mirror does matter in this regard. I using the thin version due to the lower weight.

If the transmission ratio is too high you will just have some kind of “mirror glance”. The mirror glas has to fit to your environment. So nobody can tell you if this glas is fitting exactly. Maybe you get a sample of it upfront.

@a94marbo OpenGL driver is activated?

@janip Did you activate the Open GL driver? Otherwise electron possibly leads to the described “overheating”.

I also would like to order a mirror glas. As i’m living also in schweinfurt, i would pick it up by my own. When I have my needed size i will make a additional comment.

@Blamer So either you get a bright screen or you can just use it in a dark room

@Steff next time try it with the other buzzwords.
I think pilkington glas is just a brand. So if they don’t have a distributor, which sells pilkington, you have a problem.

For what did you exactly ask?
Spionspiegel?
2-Wege-Spiegel?
Venezianischer Spiegel?

I made the experience that most off the glaciers had no clue but after i explained it or used the names above, they had some solution for me…
