| I'm building a smarthome and I was thinking about installing "tv-mirrors" in the bathrooms. I am aware of a couple manufacturers but the prices are ridiculous - over $2,000. I was wondering if anyone has managed to find a less expensive turnkey alternative or if anyone has built their own tv mirrors using a good LCD tv and two-way mirror. Any advice is appreciated! |

| Thanks but those are just mirrors - no tv. I can't imagine paying $500+ (incl shipping) just for a two way mirror. If that company was smart, they would integrate a tv into the mirror and sell as a package - for about $800-$900. The tv wouldn't cost more than $250. A nice sleek package would be worth $900. |

| but, this way, YOU can choose any type and style of TV, LCD, plasma, size, brand ect. just think about trying to get the mirror TV serviced. carry-in ? to who ? |

| True... but my concerns would be with fogging, moisture, sound (blocked speakers), etc. True mirror tvs are IP64 or better and offer side-firing speakers or speakers through the mirror themselves. So while a DIY version is an option, even doing it well could result in problems. I think a well-designed, reliable version could be built and sold at a sub-$1,000 price and they would sell relatively well. As data becomes more and more important, the tv could be used for more things than just tv. The possibilities are endless. |
