Sony KP51HW40

Check with SONY but I'll bet this is probably a "Front Surface" mirror
specifically designed for RPTV use. Installation of another type of mirror
will probably result in inferior picture reproduction. Any glass supply
house including some auto glass companies can cut a regular mirror for the
physical size required, however you will not be happy with the resulting
picture's quality.
