    • RE: Acrylic or Glass mirror - pros and cons for each option

      Thanx to the info from other topic:

      @ganget said in Best glass transparency for MagicMirror:

      Maybe this link can help you with answering your question? It’s all about research i guess. :winking_face:

      I realized that Acrylic two-way mirror not suitable for big size mirrors e.g. more than 600x600mm due to reflection distortion on big size.
      Glass mirrors better suit big sizes magic mirrors.

    • Acrylic or Glass mirror - pros and cons for each option

      Hello guys, I am looking for best mirror for my MagicMirror project.

      As of now there are two different option for mirrors: Acrylic of Glass mirror.
      I will purchase online so no possibility to check personally each type.

      My needs:

      • mirror for bathroom (e.g. high humidity)
      • reflection should be as light and clear as in regular mirror - this will the the only mirror in the bathroom.
      • mirror size 600 (w) x 800 (h) mm.
      • 21.5’ IPS is planned to be installed behind the mirror.

      Could you tell me please the pros and cons for each type of mirror based on your own practical experience.
      I want to choose the best one before the purchase took place.

    • Best glass transparency for MagicMirror

      Hey guys, I am newbie at this forum. Nice to meet all of you here!
      I am very interested in making MagicMirror myself and have found this forum!

      At  the moment I am looking for a mirror for my project. 
      Mirror I am looking for needs to fill in the following need: 
      the mirror should do its own task - it should looks like a regular mirror in terms of reflection/clearness 
      (because this will the the only mirror in my bathroom). 
      The size should be 600 wight x 800 height mm.
      

      One-way mirror supplier is asking me for the following parameter: transparency rate.
      He can provide me with different options from 0% to 30%.
      I have spent another hour in the internet and have found that the regular one is 30%.

      Boys and girls, could you please write me:

      • what is the transparency rate in your mirrors (if you know it) and

      • pros and cons for high/low transparency rate (as i understood the higher the transparency rate -> more visible monitor on the backside and vise verse).

      As i said before - it is crucial for me - the cleanness of the reflection
