Oh you took a photo of it so I thought you did when the bad reflections are gone then you watch tv I understand now sorry
Reflections……..
You don’t see them as much because yours is infront of the little window and there is a bit of a wall before you get to the patio door. If the wall wasn’t there you would get reflections. All @wigwam has to do is turn his TV a bit and there would be none of the reflections you are seeing and given his TV is OLED he could sit near on 90 dgrees from the TV and not loose any picture quality or colours. However I think he only put it on to show you as I don’t think he watches it during the day. I will also say because its slightly bigger and is near frameless it catches a bit more light and I’m sure if he watched in the day he would either close his cutains a bit or turn the TV a bit.
When sun or a bright light shines on the screen, the majority of the light will get absorbed into the screen and the rest will be reflected. When light shines directly on a screen it either scatters across the screen or it reflects it similar to a mirror, both can equally spoil the viewing experience.
A glossy screen reflects less light overall and because there is less light is reflected the picture isn’t as affected as a semi-gloss screen would be as the percieved contrast ratio will remain the same. Overall glossy screens offer the the best picture quality.
On a semi gloss screen the percieved depth of contrast isn’t as good and it it reflect more light, the reflected light will appear scattered accross the screen and the picture will appear hazy looking and more spoil’t.
The best picture quality is therefore acheived in two ways, firstly there should be no direct light such has bright sunlight shining on the TV, which is difficult in the majority of homes as there TV sits in a corner where light can shine on it. However this is easily solved by tilting the blinds, closing the curtains a bit or turning the TV. Secondly there should be direct light source such as a lamp directly opposite (infront) the TV of a night to prevent hazy reflections or a mirror like effect. The best solution for an evening is to place a small lamp behind the TV or use an uplighter. The darker or more subltle any light is in the room the better, as you will get a far better viewing experience.
Lastly don’t think gloosy screens are soley limited to OLEDs because they aren’t!
