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. :-)

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.
