TV Mirrors are an obvious technology. I was wondering if anyone has done this 9 - 10 years ago or more? I think the idea became more obvious with the introduction of Flat panel displays.

Let me know.

Thanks for your time.

NAD TV behind two way mirror, kicked up the brightness a bit. Worked great.

I've seen it in armoires; but I'm sure the tech was used in many other places.

At the risk of being a grammar nazi, aren't we actually talking about ONE-way mirrors?

The glass industry terminology is two way.

When the tv is off, you see yourself.
When the tv is on, you see the tv.

Unless you happen to be a tv star, in which case, when the tv is on, you see yourself as well.

Nice.


Seriously, Fred, not a slam.
