In my opinion (and it's only mine), the CIPA-type mirrors are not a good solution, primarily because they don't spread wide enough.

I didn't realize that the CIPA company makes those McKesh-style mirrors. Usually the term CIPA refers to a mirror that straps directly onto the OEM mirror. These extension mirrors help to improve the sightline a bit, but usually not enough to make the sightlines converge. They generally look something like this.

So in saying "CIPA-type mirrors", my terminology was not proper. Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Wow!!!! Someone should sue that company for false advertising.......I have a pair of those clip on mirrors. They are OK for backing but all but useless on the highway. No way in heck this image portrays to capabilities of those mirrors. I don't care what they are mounted on....this image is a gross distortion of the truth. The mirror would have to be 2-3' out from the side of the TV to get a view like that:
