Philips MiraVision LCD TV - The TV set which doubles as a mirror

A TV set that becomes a mirror at the flick of a switch will go on sale in the UK and should cost around £2,400. The MiraVision from Philips will be available as a 17 inch, 23 inch or 30 inch widescreen flat panel LCD television that is covered with a thin semi-reflective sheet, mounted in a picture frame.


When the screen is switched on, anyone standing in front of it sees only the picture. With the television switched off, the surface looks like an ordinary mirror.

MiraVision can even be both things at once. Anyone wanting to watch TV while brushing their hair or fixing their make-up can switch to 'picture in mirror' mode, which displays a small image in the corner of the frame.

The screen can also be wired to a PC and used as a monitor. Philips also hopes to make a waterproof version for use in bathrooms.

Information on exact prices and stockists will be available here when the Philips MiraVision goes on sale.

Philips MiraVision Mirror TV offers high quality video pictures through a special mirror material, which allows near total transmission of the polarised light output of the LCD screen.

The MiraVision Mirror TV comes supplied with standard frame fitted. It can be mounted on a wall, to be used and viewed like a regular mirror.
