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.
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? |
Projectors have come a long way and the ultra short throw ones are pretty intriguing, but they still can't compete with an OLED. You could probably get close if you're willing to go commercial grade (think $50K and up, plus screen). OLED is simply the best TV technology there is right now. Micro-LED will supposedly supplant it in the next couple of years. There are already some Mini-LED's that can come close to the OLED experience. I have both technologies in my home and while I adore the OLED, the Mini-LED often makes me do a double-take because the picture is so incredible. |
Looking forward to hearing how your solution works out. As an alternative for other users, a lift operated TV cabinet could be a good solution. Gives you the option of leaving the tv up or down during listening sessions . The design on the the cabinet in the images should have good diffusion properties. When finished the fillets will run the full height of the cabinet. This particular cabinet is to house a 75" QLED with LCR Portrait side speakers. |
@bhrapp. Certainly will. The shop looks pretty good. Obviously, you are a pro. Woodworking is my hobby, just love it. |
