This is a video reviewing the features of my custom digital dashboard with Magic Mirror software installed, and showing you how to install a setup of your own just like this one. This device is an entire dashboard with many features, but you can start by installing it as a DIY digital calendar or wall display!

My digital dashboard sits in the area just next to my kitchen, which makes it a perfect kitchen dashboard as well. The large and vertically-mounted 43" Vizio display shows so much information at a glance; the date/time, my Google Calendar events, current weather & forecast, a grocery list powered by Bring, a stock table, a QR code for my wifi and news headlines. All sitting atop some gorgeous wallpapers from /r/cityporn!
I am even able pull it out, thanks to the swivel mount; and use Chromecast - or Google Cast, as they call it now - through a module called MMM-Screencast, to follow along to video tutorials!
