Mirror Glass To Cover A Tv

[Dannyb6467]

Folks
Are there any experts in the glass field?
What I'm considering is covering a 55" TV with mirrored glass within a frame.
Is it called dielectric glass?
Any advice welcome.
Perhaps @StudleyGlass can help?
@Fish don't think you have got out of this project...you'd be making the frame out of some magic!!
Thanks folks

100% @StudleyGlass right in his field.. the bloke is also a wizard..

You still thinking of mounting it on the roof? Think it will just miss the wiring looms down the N/S so no mods needed there.

 

[Dannyb6467]

Yes pal actually ON the roof.
New roof bars fitted to mount it....
Pair of fools !!
Above the new fireplace but need ideas what to do with the sky box and DVD
Just an idea unless the glass is pretty straightforward.
Cables channelled into the plaster and behind the fireplace and panelling. Apparently there are lighting conditions that apply to the use of certain glass.
Studley and hopefully others will know more.

Privacy glass is not my field TBH lads . I would say it would be to heavy for the this application. Privacy Glass- Switchable Smart Glass| Glassolutions

Freaky, 007 style tech..!

I have a recurring dream that I'm using a public toilet surrounded by the stuff...and there's a power cut...

Regarding Sky, what system have you got?

My Mrs wanted something similar, TV wall mounted with an oak surround (like a rustic sleeper-ish frame) and everything hidden. I was able to chase/duct to the rear and have hidden power/network cables and have everything behind the TV which is on a cantilever bracket to aide cabling etc.

Sky was my issue, either I ran AV extenders or something like HDMI over CAT6 but in the end I upgraded toe SkyQ. This enabled me to have the main SkyQ box (with the satellite cables) in another room and use a SkyQ mini box wirelessly and hid this behind the TV. I paired the Bluetooth remote from the main box to the mini box so I didn't have to worry about the RF remote issue. See the only photo I can find..



If a new TV is on the cards, Samsung (maybe others) do a framed TV where the Tv is very thin and has a changeable frame.

This is what I want to achieve from a glass point of view.

The glass is a mirror when the TV is off and then goes clear when you turn the TV on .

We can't have SkyQ by all accounts. Something to do with broadband strength.
Might go the magic eye route, seems the most logical and get rid of the DVD

Need to know ASAP as panels going on today/tomorrow.

You can get "ready made" products like this £££ https://www.amazon.co.uk/TV-Samsung-UE49NU7100-Television-Your-Barbican-Gold/dp/B01MYZDHGK?th=1

Seems a shame to send magic eye SD sky to presumable a HD TV? If you use a HDMI over CATx/powerline you can have HD/4K. Also, if you have a HDMI switch or similar you can connect Sky, DVD/Bluray and flick between them using IR.

Windscreen?

We have that Glass in our Rolls-Royce Phantom. The top half of the partition wall can be switched on or off.

Can you video it so we can see what happens?
