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.

OP  a solution to cancel or at least improve the acoustic glare caused by a flatscreen tv on the wall behind the speakers?

In my experience, sonic glare/ brightness/irritation mostly are from speakers, source (CDP, DAC, etc), and cables. The sonic irritation isn't by the screen. Removing TV won't make the meaningful difference and no one will be satisfied with it. On/off the panel each time is burden for small difference. Watch below where the most glare comes from. All your audio systems behave/sound like the left speaker, except Wavetouch audio. Alex/Wavetouch

@mihorn.  I am not sure your point about natural sound in the video. Sometimes my wife and my daughter try to talk to me at the same time and I have difficulty understanding them. Is one of them NOT a natural sound? 

     Exactly. We can enjoy many natural sounds at same time without much effort. Ex. Women chat with friends and enjoy the live music in the live band cafe. However, to listen the un-natural sound (like the left speaker in the comparison video), we must change something in our body (ears, eyes, and brain). Each time we hear un-natural sound to natural sound, vice versa, we must change the hearing mode. And it’s hard for brain and bad for health.

     My system is natural sound and I am always in natural sound mode. And I don't like listen un-natural sound system like before. I can still change to un-natural sound mode, but I don’t like do it because it is very uncomfortable action (like spit my eyes out and widen my eyes to suck into between 2 speakers). It’s called the immersive sound. I must listen un-natural sounds some times but I feel like un-natural sound sucks out my life.  Alex/Wavetouch
