Flatscreen between speakers

Has anyone found a solution to cancel or at least improve the acoustic glare caused by a flatscreen tv on the wall behind the speakers? I don’t have a dedicated room and have to share the room with my home theater setup. I have thought of using an appropriate curtain and treat the tv as if it was a window. I am also considering light 3D printed panels that I can temporarily hung when listening to music and take down when watching TV with the wife. 
I tried hanging a couple of thick towels on it to see if there would be any improvement and the answer is yes. The center image is more solid and a little deeper. Nothing drastic but if I could squeeze anything positive, why not. Please let me know if you have confronted this issue in the past and whether you were able to solve it. Thanks.

+1 projection screen, you beat me to it :)

That said, 2-channel and HT should not share a system, or a room if possible. I do realize folks living in NYC apartments will have to share space, but when that's the case it’s definitely best to segregate speakers and electronics.

I have a LG OLED whose picture quality is absolutely gorgeous, but the sight of that huge ugly black rectangle is appalling when it's turned off.

I haven't looked at projectors in a few years and I wonder how they compare to OLED panels nowadays. Anyone has experience?

@devinplombier. Have you considered that a projector requires a dark room?

@spenav 

You are correct, of course; but I only ever watch tv in a dark room so I didn’t even think about it.

I wonder whether there are projectors available today whose image quality can rival OLED panels’ in a dark room?
