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.

I used some cheap diffusers and absorber off Amazon and put them on foam board in a frame so it was light weight to put up for serious listening. Eliminates glare and adds depth. I might build something automated some day. Liked it so much I put one over the fireplace on a secondary system. I didn’t like just the diffusion or just absorbers.

I used to have some Gik panels mounted on some aluminum planks, but they were too heavy to move.

Looks fantastic!  I lack carpentry skills.

So its not just my wishful thinking on soundstage (lots of options for panels). I forget to put it up while casually listening and after about two news articles its always, "something's wrong with the music".
