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.

Indeed.  Some other things to consider is thick panels behind the screen.  It also helps but thicker is better here as you get a lot more low notes back there.  Other things to try which can help is damping the floor behind the speakers, and underneath the TV as well as making sure your ceiling between listener and speakers is treated.
