Mirror TV Glass

The right glass depends on what matters most to you.

Both options are designed for Mirror TV use, but they balance the television image and mirror appearance differently.

The two glass options explained

Standard Mirror TV Glass

Our Standard Mirror TV Glass is designed to favour the television picture while still creating the Mirror TV effect when the screen is switched off.

  • The mirror appearance is deeper and darker than a conventional household mirror.
  • It allows more of the television image to show through.
  • Generally the more forgiving choice where television viewing is important.
  • Better suited to a wider range of normal living-room lighting conditions.
  • Included as standard with our Mirror TVs.

Best for

Customers who want the strongest balance between everyday TV viewing and the mirror effect.

Premium Mirror Glass

Premium Mirror Glass places greater emphasis on the appearance of the mirror when the television is switched off.

  • A more conventional, more mirror-like appearance.
  • Less of the darker, smoked appearance associated with Standard Mirror TV Glass.
  • A stronger reflection means ambient room light can compete more with the television image.
  • Best suited to rooms where lighting can be controlled.
  • Particularly attractive where the Mirror TV spends significant time switched off and the mirror appearance is the priority.

Best for

Customers who prioritise the mirror appearance and have a room with controlled or lower ambient light.

Room lighting matters

Every Mirror TV relies on the television image competing with the reflection from the room. The brighter the room — particularly light falling directly onto the glass — the more visible that reflection becomes.

Standard Mirror TV Glass gives the television picture more help in these conditions. Premium Mirror Glass creates a stronger mirror effect, so it works best where the room lighting can be controlled.

Premium Mirror Glass is generally less suited to high ambient-light environments because the stronger reflected image can compete with the television picture. Appearance depends on television brightness, room lighting, the location of windows and lights, your viewing position, and what is displayed on screen.

Standard may suit

  • Normal family living rooms
  • Rooms used frequently during daytime
  • Spaces where strong TV visibility is important

Premium may suit

  • Bedrooms
  • Formal lounges
  • Cinema and media spaces
  • Interiors with controlled lighting
  • Customers primarily concerned with how the TV looks when switched off

These are examples, not absolute rules. The examples shown are a guide — real-world appearance varies with television brightness and the lighting in your room.
