How reflective is the mirror when the screen is off?

It works pretty well as a mirror, it behaves as though you are looking through a tinted Window. I have no complaints.

very reflective. You might want to aim it down to avoid confusion between the video image and the real image.

The mirror is adequately reflective, and I'm an old guy ... I have 40% tint on the back window and it's still OK ... In the dark, all you can see is the headlights, but that's how regular mirrors are anyhow ... It compares approximately with the blue tinted exterior mirrors that I had on a BMW years ago ...

It is not meant to be a mirror. the reflection most people are talking about is the reflection like you would get from using your cell phone as a mirror, or a piece of glass. If you want to use it as a mirror, apply that reflective window tint that has the one way mirror effect.

I just took mine out of the box. It has no mirror surface. It is as reflective as your smart phone screen.

It is similar to a regular mirror flipped to the night mode. The reflectiveness is not adjustable. It takes some time for your eyes to adjust. The only other options I could find were; the regular mirror with a very small image on one side of the mirror, or a separate monitor on or in the dash. Seems all options have a trade-offs. This seemed to be the best option for the money in my case. I use it in my pickup truck.

Yes, it mirrors whatever is on the screen. However my tv crops out the outer 10% of the screen.

It's a matte screen, made of a plastic material. Pressing on it changes the brightness in the immediate vicinity. It will reflect some light, but it's definitely not shiny.

More or less. I actually prefer to use it in natural daylight without the light. But if you don't have access to natural light or tend to use the mirror when it's dark out, the light let you see very clearly.

H. Panda... when you turn off the display it is not glossy, so I would say no. I will say that there is little glare from light no matter what angle you are looking at the display. One of the reasons I liked this display for the great price.

Not a problem at all when it's on. When TV isn't on, yes there's reflection because it's near a very large West -facing window. With our old TV had to draw curtains to see at all in the afternoon/early evening but this Samsung is great!

it is a little darker than a regular mirror, however it is sturdy because it clips on instead of new installation, and the screen in very large and clear. however i had issues with the actual camera. if flickers alot and the actual camera glass over lens gets evaporation inside from hot moist weather so you cant always see clearly, also i dont think its %100 waterproof. i would rather by the "boss" model for a hundred dollars if i had another chance. my freind said he had no issues with it

Hey Gary, The screen is matted. I can't see any reflection with my desk lamp on. However, very strong direct sunlight will give you some reflection which should be expected.

The surface of the TV is Glass and it is VERY reflective. I have the television in a room with recessed lighting in the ceiling so the glare isn't an issue but any floor lighting will reflect. I also have large windows and you want to make sure that your TV is positioned so they won't be reflected directly from your viewing angle. Also, you will probably want to keep the blinds closed during the day if you are watching television. The best comparison I can think of is that this TV is about as reflective as old CRT televisions. That being said, this TV has among the highest picture quality I have ever seen, irrespective of price, and I do not regret my purchase at all.

Sebastian, I take it by "glare" you are asking about bright reflections off the screen. If not, I apologize and you can quit reading. The screen is shiny glass, although I can tell its been tempered a little. I hate computer screens made of smooth glass, because of the reflections. That is probably the biggest complaint I have with this TV. Room lights will reflect off the screen. But all new TV's have shiny screens. What can you do. Many TV's have shiny bezels, which can be really annoying. This unit has a very thin matte bezel. No reflections. And bottom line, this is the best picture of any TV I've ever owned.

The screen is definitely glossy and has a reflective surface. It is not a matte screen (like the Kindle Paperwhite--for example--has) and I can see reflections clearly in it. However, the display is sharp and readable to me. On average, I spend 3 or 4 hours a day looking at the screen and the reflectiveness does not bother me.

Ambient light isn't an issue. However direct light sources, such as a lamp, will cause a reflection on the screen. I generally have a lamp beside the tv when watching.

No, it is completely clear and reflective, just as if you were looking at the original screen.

The screen has a non-reflective face. I see no difference in the image if the ceiling light is on or off. I have a desk lamp in front and to the right of the monitor. The lamp has no effect on the image.

Its a real mirror. During the day you wont even notice the lcd. It will just look like a mirror.

The reflective glare is really not an issue. I have my tv mounted high and tilted down. My room has double windows on two walls with blinds on them. I have had a plasma for years so this wasn't an issue with me. I love this tv and would highly recommend it!

I had a matte screen LED TV and I'd say the difference is big with regard to reflection. However, the picture quality is far better on this TV, and I only complain about the glare when I'm sitting directly in the light reflection path. It's like you have a mirror on the wall, and you stand in a position where you can see the direct light from the sun. Just move to a different position, and you've got perfect vision. Another way to avoid this is obviously to close the curtain where the light is coming directly to the TV. It's not annoying at all unless your house is fully lit and full of windows!
