I went through a lot of trial and error here, and also learned a lot, which was also something I set out to do with this project. I think a part of it was that I don’t have a nice workspace at home, so I had to make do with a small table in the basement, where I keep the washing machine.

I was left with a bare-bones, somewhat heavy screen.Īnd now, on to the most challenging part (for me) of this project – Building the frame around the glass & monitor Building the Frame Not hard on this monitor, just a few screws off the back and prying the case apart. The next phase was to rip it out of it’s casing.
It only has a VGA port, so I had to buy a cheap VGA to HDMI adaptor like this one, except mine was way cheaper. I got it for really cheap, so I went with it. It is a 22-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor, nothing fancy. But I didn’t worry too much about that, so I went online and bought an old BenQ monitor (The model no. You can basically use any old computer monitor, but newer is of course better when it comes to weight, heat emission and such.
On this part of the mirror I didn’t want to spend a fortune. I have to admit that I was a bit worried about having glass shipped to me a long way, but these guys are professionals, everything went smoothly!Īll in all I’m really happy about the quality of this glass, the mirror looks so smooth and there’s no warping or defects on it.
