justin_tx_16 Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 I don't know where you can find these but... My dad's friend who lives at River Oaks in Houston (houses start at like 1 million) has windows with LCD's in them that can be turned on to tint the windows in his home theater. I had this on my rear view mirror of my car (till a stupid tropical storm named Allison picked it up and washed it into teh Buffalo Bayou) and it worked great. So, if you have about 5000-10,000 bucks to spare... why not do that? LoL! Worked for him... yeah, but who has 10,000 bucks lying around? if you do, ship it to me ------------------ -justin I am an amateur, if it is professional; ProMedia help you want email Amy or call her @ 1-888-554-5665 Klipsch Home Audio help you want, email support@klipsch.com or call @ 1-800-KLIPSCH RA# Fax Number=317-860-9140 / Parts Department Fax Number=317-860-9150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eq_shadimar Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Actually if you alternate your eyes (one open one shut) in sync with the 60Hz refreash rate divided by the incident angle of the glare it should fix your problem However if that does not work you could try and anti glare screen (expensive), window tint, sunscreens (maybe only a southern thing it is a mesh like material that cuts down on UV and visible light), or get some drapes.

BigBusa Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 k-d You are right about window tinting. Do a local search for residential window tinting. If you don't come up with something go to the busiest car window tint shop and they'll most likely be able to help you. I got my olds achieva's windows tinted (20% but wish I went with 15%!) and while waiting in the showroom I saw literature on residential tinting. They have some really interesting tints availible too! How about mirrored? that would look awesome I bet! Here's one I found on the net http://www.autotintwest.com/residential.htm ------------------ My system thus far: 1980 Cornwalls (mains) 1990 Heresy II's (rears) 2001 KLF-C7 (center) 2001 KSW15 (Subwoofer) NOTHING-Thanks for NOTHING UBid!(No reciever) Kenwood DV402 (DVD) Sony KV 27V55 (9 year old 27" TV still kickin') :eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch-daddy Posted December 12, 2001 Author Share Posted December 12, 2001 Bigbusa, I have contacted a car shop that did all my work on my previous cars and trucks. I did not even know they did that sort of thing! I am going to go with either 15% or mirror tint(if it does not cost to much) ------------------ My HTS: MAINS: RF-3's CENTER: KSC-C1(LOOKING FOR A RC-3 OR RC-3II) REAR: SS-1's SUB: KSW-12 TV: TOSHIBA THEATER VIEW 50" RECEIVER:KENWOOD VR-4080B DVD: SONY S-360 DVD PLAYER monster cable interconnects/12 gauge speaker wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishken Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 residentual window tinting is the way to go. A neighbor has all his windows done and it looks very nice from the inside and out. About every decent city will have residentual tinters. ~phishken~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch-daddy Posted December 12, 2001 Author Share Posted December 12, 2001 I have a sliding blind now and it sucks. Personally I would like to break the damn windows and stud it up and fill it in with sheetrock, but I am tring to be as real as possible. Also a big factor will be what the wife thinks and she is not to happy with any of it. ------------------ My HTS: MAINS: RF-3's CENTER: KSC-C1(LOOKING FOR A RC-3 OR RC-3II) REAR: SS-1's SUB: KSW-12 TV: TOSHIBA THEATER VIEW 50" RECEIVER:KENWOOD VR-4080B DVD: SONY S-360 DVD PLAYER monster cable interconnects/12 gauge speaker wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentMann Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Man, no matter we think or how much $ we make, the solution must always pass by Darth Ma (the wife). I use a real high tech solution, very expensive. I cover the normal "nice, white, see-through" drapes with a "nice, heavy, dark" blanket. easy up/easy down. just my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhawki Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Vertical vinyl hanging blinds. The long 6" wide strips that go ceiling to floor, ya know? %100 light block when you want, or twist them open a little (or a lot) for light. -Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 How about vertical cellular blinds? No gaps to let light through. You can even get ones that are 99% opaque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLUngurait Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 HEAVY drapes will not only block the the sun glare, but also help w/ sound reflections off of your glass doors...in fact just drape your entire room...maybe your wife won't be able to find her way in to disrupt your Klipsch quality time Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch-daddy Posted December 14, 2001 Author Share Posted December 14, 2001 I got a price from my local dealer today to install mirror tint on 2 windows. the 1st one is 30" by 72" the other one was 32"1/2 by 72"1/2. Price: 248.82 !!!!! He advised me to buy the materal (82.00) 13ft of 36" wide tint and do it my self. The dealer knows I can do it that is why he told me. Now I have to see of I can get a blind or something else in that price range and if not I will be putting the tint on next week. ------------------ My HTS: MAINS: RF-3's CENTER: KSC-C1(LOOKING FOR A RC-3 OR RC-3II) REAR: SS-1's SUB: KSW-12 TV: TOSHIBA THEATER VIEW 50" RECEIVER:KENWOOD VR-4080B DVD: SONY S-360 DVD PLAYER monster cable interconnects/12 gauge speaker wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
