There's a small set of buttons on the bottom that turns the monitor on/off/etc. With those screws out, we could then carefully remove the front bezel. This reveals a line of small screws around the edge on the back that we then took out. Next, we used a small flathead screwdriver to pop all the tabs around the outside and take off the back panel. There are two small screws near the power/HDMI ports that come out first, but we save them since we're going to use them later! Next, we remove the stand at the bottom, then lay it face down on something soft so it doesn't get scratched. Once it's in, we carefully bend down all the metal tabs to hold the mirror in place.īefore we start, we turn on the monitor and raise the brightness to the maximum. It fits perfectly but it's obviously important to be gentle so we don't scratch it. Next, we gently place the mirror into the frame, bright side facing forward (dark side back). But, we saved the cardboard since we're going to use it! We then fold up all the little metal tabs to make room for the mirror. To install the mirror, first, we removed the clear plastic and the cardboard backing in the picture frame. If you're on a budget, a great option is to use an acrylic mirror. However, these types of mirrors are very expensive. The mirror we're using is 1/4" thick and is very high-quality glass so we'll get a lot of light passing through while maintaining a clear reflection. That allows you to put something like a display or a monitor on the back and shine light through. What's significant about a two-way mirror is that one side allows light to pass through and the other side is reflective. Smart Mirrors work by using a "two-way mirror" (also called a one-way mirror, which is.very confusing!).
