What is a TV mirror?

This is more than an ordinary piece of glass of course.  Using advanced beam splitter mirror technology prevents distortion when your tv is turned on, but when you turn off your tv, it is transformed into a decorative mirror!

What is a "beam-splitter" mirror?

A beam-splitter mirror is a general term used to describe how light is split so a portion that passes through a material while the remaining light is reflected back to the viewer. A true beam-splitter mirror is made through a specialty glass fabrication process using different types of coating processes to achieve the desired effects.

Types of TV Mirrors - Dielectric, OptiClear, Relflections, or Lux?

When it comes to concealing your TV with a mirror, we understand that consumers only want the best products on the market. Therefore, we have conducted in-house testing on numerous types of mirror technology to provide ONLY premium grade products for our clients. FrameMyTV’s engineers have selected two specific types of TV mirror glass for living room/ bedroom applications and two additional mirror types for bathroom areas where TV viewing is the secondary function.

Which type is better?

This depends on what's most important to you - TV viewing OR room aesthetics?”

  • Living Rooms and Bedrooms:

    • If you answered  “TV Viewing” – we recommend selecting our OptiClear mirror as it allows for the greatest light transmission for a superior HDTV picture.

    • If you answered  “Room Aesthetics” – we recommend our dielectric mirror for 30% more reflectivity offering a better solution when the primary use will be as a mirror.

Comparison to Two-Way Mirror

When is a TV mirror not an ideal solution?

A TV mirror type of solution is not for everyone or every environment. They are great products, but we highly suggest ordering a mirror sample to be sure about your purchase and to see how the mirror will work with your specific television. If you have a room with a high level of ambient light or large light sources opposite your television, you may encounter unwanted reflection in the mirror even while watching television. The greater the reflectivity of the glass, the more unwanted reflection you may encounter. Also, each type of glass will have a different effect on the brightness of the television when on. With the living room mirrors, the brightness levels will not vary much, but with the bathroom mirrors the TV image will generally be darker because a more reflective mirror is necessary in a bathroom. However, in a bathroom, generally the primary purpose is not for television viewing, but rather for applying makeup or shaving. The brightness of the TV will also vary depending on the type of television. For the best results with TV mirrors, we generally reccommend using an LED television for maximum illumination.  For rooms with higher levels of ambient light, you might want to consider our motorized roll-up artwork or dynamic artwork solutions

Rooms that work very well are rooms with low lighting or where there isn't exposed lighting opposite the TV. TV mirrors are very commonly used in locations such as master bedrooms where the majority of TV viewing occurs in the evenings.

What if my TV has speakers?

Simple solution, add an AcoustiMat to allow the audio from your television to pass directly through.

Alternatively, if you plan to use external speakers such as a surround sound system, there is no longer a need for the AcoustiMat. For this approach we can make the mirror span the entire opening of the frame. If you have questions about this approach please call us and we can help you decide which solution is best for your setting.

  • The Lux is our economy line of TV mirrors
  • Lux features the highest reflectivity, though the compromise is the TV picture is darkened considerably compared to the Reflections mirror.
  • Note that because of the higher reflection, objects in the room may be more noticeable during TV viewing as shown here.
  • While this mirror type is the most similar to a two way mirror, it's important to consider that unlike with a two-way mirror where a reflective film is applied to the surface, Lux is made using a chemical deposition process so the reflective surface is actually a part of the glass. Over the lifetime of the glass, this process will hold up better and will not flake off over time which is common with standard two-way mirrors.

BUYER BEWARE: We sincerely urge all consumers to be very careful when purchasing a TV mirror as there are many unscrupulous online firms with misleading claims through both text and altered images to make the TV mirror appear as both a perfect mirror and perfect picture quality. This simply isn't true or physically possible. Don’t believe everything you read online. If you have any doubts….PLEASE be wise and order a sample … then make the decision for yourself.
