Does anyone knows if polarized windows exist for living room bay windows. A window you can polarized at will that would avoid you to install curtains.

it's not polarized windows you're looking for; they're liquid crystal windows. yes they make large ones, and yes, they are very expensive. call up a custom window place and ask them.

If you can't afford those, just get remote control blinds.

Be careful , the longterm reliability is doughtful of todays products. Untested by time, your warranty is your recourse. Purchase wisely
Everyone's correct. ;-) Liquid crystal displays/windows work by polarising the light. When the LCD is activated, it shifts the polarity of the light by
90 degrees, which is either allowed through or blocked by a normal polarizing filter. If you reverse the filter, the display shifts from being the most common black-on-clear (e.g. a digital watch) to clear characters on a black background. In the latter, you'd backlight the display.The LCD windows are very cool, but from the outside they would look completely black, as they would from the inside. I'm not sure it that's what you really want. Thieves might think you are never in... ;-) Where they are great is that it's not just on and off you get, it's a dimmer switch type thing (IIRC), so you can dim or brighten the room easilly during the day.
