@sdetweil Hi auto install script Magic Mirror did not work for me .
So I used the Manual install method and it all works.
The only Problem I had is there was no custom .CSS folder
So I had to use the main one . I of course made a copy of it.

It you get a nice Tv a remote may helpful and if it’s used as photo frame roll over magic mirror and it may have two HDMI socket it can be used a second screen for pc and its cheaper. Most monitors only have one Hdmi in low cost range . If their used as mirror in my opinion if you can get laptop screen with a drive board its best as its so slim . Monitors are slimmer then tv’s but can cost more ,pictures quietly is not an issue a you most seeing the mirror.
Deciding what best depends on your pocket if you go with glass it’s much better than film the cost between acylic or glass is about 25 pound more if you look around . It’s more about weight it can get very heavy.

Best thing to is it up a Tv you have and get it all working with add-on modules on the same size your going to use
Before deciding.

Hope my opinion has been helpful
