[simpits-tech] More Projector questions,

[Allen Buffington]

Yes, this is an option however you should use a "first surface" optical
grade mirror.
A first surface mirror has the reflective coating on the surface of the
glass,
whereas regular mirrors have the reflective surface on the back of the
glass.
Rear projection TV's use a first surface mirror. This might be a source
of finding
a usable mirror that could work for you. You could check with some TV
repair shops
and see if any have a unrepairable TV cabinet and convert it to your
use.
Using a regular mirror you will get an unwanted ghost image reflected
off the glass
surface as well as the silver reflecting surface.
