I am currently designing a bathroom with the TV concealed behind the mirror and appreciate that someone else has experimented with a DIY solution.

I'm not sure how the Acrylic is going to compare to glass for a bathroom application and am working with a few glass fabricators I work with in my day job to come up with the right solution.

Any glass guy can screen out the silver to create clear glass for a concealed application; I think the key here is to have the right mirror coating that enables the picture to come through without to much darkening (although getting the brightest LCD has to be key). With full mirror coverage, you get the great effect of have a full mirror when the TV is off.

There are actually 2 solutions that I'm having samples made up; one with a back coating as described, and one with a mirror interlayer in a laminated product that I've heard is also terrific.

Currently, we have a surfaced mounted television that we use in the bath which gets quite dirty. Concealing the TV is critical in bath applications.

Now, if I can only find the right waterproof audio control so that I can put speakers in the shower, my fantasy will be complete.
