It does not significantly distort view from the inside. Yes, it is mirror-like from the outside.

I wish I could help! We haven't been able to get it installed but other similar film we've used does not have a mirror look from the inside though some will look that way from the outside. The kind we bought is not supposed to--that's the higher rated blocking kind, I believe. Also, it doesn't distort the view very much if at all. Sorry we can't speak to the exact roll we bought but we hope this helps a bit. Godf luck!

The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker. I had to add landscaping lights (bright ones) outside in order to see what the dogs were up to when I have them out back after the sun went down. I also have to turn the lights off inside as well to check on them without going outside. Not a complaint, but trying to give you an idea.Its not really mirror like except when light hits it just right. It does act as a really good privacy tint though and actually looks pretty good if its applied with no bubbles. You can't see inside from outside from more than a few feet unless it is brighter inside than out. (Nighttime with lights on inside) The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker.

The film does not show a distorted view of the outside at all. The room overlooks a koi pond and we can see the fish very clearly. And no, this particular film doesn't appear like a mirror when you're outside looking in. It just appears lightly tinted.

No it doesn't. However, it is very well made. I plan to look for the mirrored film seperately.

No, it's just the way light travels through the lens. If it doesn't have a mirror to reflect off of, on to the view port it will always be reversed.

Not at all. It's a soft mirror. It just makes it so you can't see in from the outside with a dull reflection.

Well I have not noticed that as an issue after couple hundred miles of city & urban road use. I find it offers a nice sharp view, fine depth & width perception. I would suggest reading all the reviews on this mirror and see if maybe someone see's it as an issue. For me, I'm 100% happy with it.

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

reflection is diffused on this film like looking into a mirror in a bright room with the lights off

You can see it fairly well without the screen. You do get a double image since the windshield is actually two layers of glass. At times this can be a little distracting. I used mine that way for quite a while , then used the film. I like the film better.

I believe it is well worth the money. There is no distortion in the mirror. Like cheep mirrors it's as clear as the one from factory.

I am not sure which way of the image is looked as mirrored. Mine looks straight to me. I mounted mine upside down, which means cable is on the top and camera is on the bottom. To be more specific, I see driver side of my car on the left-hand side of the screen. Hopefully, this will help you out.

Funny, I'm watching a 3d movie right now and don't notice distortion from pretty steep side angles....it looks fine once you settle in....it looks great as a matter of fact.

The screen is glossy. I definitely get reflections, during dark scenes, if there is any other source of light in the room. Fortunately, I have blackout curtains. If you always view it from the same spot, you could careful position the TV so there is nothing bright or shiny that will be reflected on the screen at that angle. If you do that, then maybe you can have some light in the room without getting reflections.

It is a glossy screen. Some people say it does produce reflections which it does when turned off but I have never see had an issue while I was watching it.

The resolution of the reflection is mediocre (roughened by inconsistencies in the paper) certainly not as a good as a mirror, but better than baking quality aluminum foil. When my head is about a foot away, I can see facial features. If it is 6 inches away, I would say someone could probably guess the reflection was mine.

Yes. There definitely is distortion on the magnified side. It's VERY cheaply made. Think of looking in a tin fun house mirror. It takes just the right angle, distance from the mirror & lighting for you to get a clear, normal image. All I can say about this mirror is save your money & get the Conair. Hope this helps.

yes, mirror image. pretty decent camera, had to adjust light settings in my receiver to get it the way i wanted. Has backup lines and wide field of view.

ok, I put the camera at my kitchen window facing outside & was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the shot. it was late in the day about 6:30 pm and I could see some indirect reflections from the setting sun in a couple of places on the window - but really clear other wise, pretty much like I expected, but, the reflections in no way obstructed the view I was seeing on my iPhone. and we have a new home and double panes as well, so you shouldn't have any problem mounting the LNC104 from the inside looking out.
