The further back the screen is from radiating surface of the loudspeakers the better. Using a rug or blankets is probably better than nothing, but if you are going to cover the screen you should use a real acoustic product that has uniform or smooth absorption characteristics.
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.

Roll-away panels, in TN I put wheels on them.
In KY, I used barn door rods and rollers to cover the windows: |
I agree with @onhwy61. My problem with the barn door hardware is that it would interfere with my existing panels around the flatscreen. It might work fine for @bugredmachine @jeffbij. I am looking for something like that I can take down when not in use thus light because I don’t want the weight to be an issue. I envy you guys who have dedicated rooms.

How about some 1 inch thick panels and hang them right on the TV itself? Even foam will help some in a pinch. One inch OC 703 would be great but not sure you can get one inch. Some vinyl or rubber covered hooks and you're in business. Heavy cardboard backer or even Luan plywood is light and more durable as a backer. We can solve this. |
Indeed. Some other things to consider is thick panels behind the screen. It also helps but thicker is better here as you get a lot more low notes back there. Other things to try which can help is damping the floor behind the speakers, and underneath the TV as well as making sure your ceiling between listener and speakers is treated. |
