How to stop glare from projector onto picture frames in home theater?

[purbeast0]

Since there is no longer an A/V forum and this doesn't fit into any of the dumb fragmented subforums, I figured I'd just post this here.

Last night I finally got around to hanging some picture frames my wife got me for Father's Day. While hanging them on the wall, the reflection from the projector screen did not even cross my mind. As soon as I hung them up and turned on my projector, then sat in my seat, it was very apparent that 1 of them is reflecting the screen. It gets even worse if you move over 1 seat from the main one. It is very noticeable in the right peripheral while looking at the screen.

So my question is - do they make any kind of anti-glare spray or anything that I could put over the glass frame? Or anti-glare glass that I could replace the frame with?

My wife thought it wasn't that bad from her seat (the one that is worse than my main seat) and that it wouldn't bother her much, but I think if we sat down there to focus on a movie it could get very distracting seeing it out of the peripheral the entire movie. I can live with it for a while but if there isn't anything that I can put over the glass

FWIW, it's the Ovechkin picture which I hung below the other one. You can see the glare on these pictures in just this pic. Imagine the reflection of a bright screen in a dark room.

Yes it's a thing, example:

Questionable whether or not it's going to be enough though. Worth trying, worst case you move/mask them.

Well, which is more important ... the image on the screen, or the image on the walls? Remove the pictures.

Is the reflection directly from the projector or from the screen? If the former, you could put some kind of masking on the projector to limit light bleed onto objects around the screen.

Otherwise I'd just move the pictures or take them down.

It's from the screen. I just snapped pictures. The screen is not on but you can see the pics. From the center seat and the seat to the right, it's noticeable from the peripheral. It's only on the bottom picture not the top one. I just completely did not even consider it since the other frames I have on the wall are acoustical panels with fabric covering them so I never thought about reflection.

Tonight when I'm watching stuff I'll try to snap pics of the reflection.

That's a nice setup. Very clean. No idea about the reflection issue though!

JTR speakers and subs.

I actually watched football down there last night and the glare wasn't distracting at all. So I'll have to give it a try a little bit and see if it really bothers me. When paying attention to the game, I wasn't noticing anything out of my peripheral at all.
