I have a nice 50’ 4k tv and it reflects every light that’s around it. Have to watch it in pitch black because of it.
Why don’t TV’s are built for non-reflective non-glossy screen? Does making it really shiny make the images better or something? Why do most tv’s have it really glossy?


The massively oversimplified explanation is that more reflective coatings give a better image quality as long as you don’t have reflections. Matte coatings dull the colours of the image a bit and make it a bit less sharp.
Respectfully disagree.
It is the technical value for “contrast” that is better, but I would never go as far as calling that “image quality”.
Matte coatings interfere with more than just contrast, they often look a little more blurry as well in my experience. But yeah, the “massively oversimplified” was there for a reason 😆.
That makes sense. If I could get a matt one I would as the colors and how vibrant they are, are not really a priority for me. But this makes a ton of sense thank you
Like Eheran said, they definitely exist: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/bright-room
