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.
