Reflections TV Mirror : TV or Mirror?
By Andrew | February 5, 2008
I wish I was rich. I’m not saying this purely for the reason that every second day I drool over new and astonishingly hi-tech gadgets keep hitting the market and usually they are out of my reach. What left me drooling this time was this amazing LCD TV. The USP of this TV is that it is hidden behind a mirror.
Yes, there are a number of such TVs in the market that are either concealed behind cabinets or walls, but what caught my fancy this time was the Reflections TV Mirror from FrameMyTV.
Here it is an advanced quality beamsplitter mirror that conceals the TV screen. When in OFF mode, the mirror turns into a smokey mirror gibing an antique feel and no body can differentiate if it’s a mirror or a TV. And as you switch it ‘On’, the smokiness vanishes away giving way to a clear screen to feature your favourite TV show.
If you are thinking that the mirror might not give the desrired quality of image since its not a regular thing than don’t worry for the image will be crystal clear, since there’s 7% light absorbtion.
Price ranges between $650 for 32-inch screen to $1,179 for 61-inch screen.
