Bright Room [message #90434]

I have a room that is extremely bright during the day. I even tried putting dark blinds, but it doesn't seem to help much. In your opinion, what kind of TV would have a somewhat brighter screen?

Surely you can do something to darken the room.

Look for room darkening curtains. Blinds and curtains together ought to tame the light. If not. Try plywood over windows if it's that bad.

Blinds AND curtains should help.

For a bright room, the brightest tv's are the latest model LED's....
very high NITS...

The OLED's aren't there yet, they get their ability to display HDR from their extreme darkest blacks instead (the pixels completely shut off), but the HDR is still achieved.

I would use an oled in a rather dark room.
Also their motion cant be beat,

This might seem like a dumb question, but did you go into your settings and adjust things there? If the curtains haven't helped it makes me think you need to fix your TV settings. Make sure it isn't on energy saver mode.

Move the television to another room. Very Happy

Adjusting the TV settings will help, but it can only do a little when the room is bright. Another solution would be to watch only at night.

And then there'll be a street light that's bound to shine in or maybe the neighbor's floodlights will flicker through. Or am I the only one that has that kind of luck?

I can't fall asleep unless my room is pitch-black and the only thing that worked for me was a combination of blackout film and blinds. The window film is easy to affix. You essentially just peel and stick it. It doesn't require adhesive or anything. It was inexpensive and I've had it up for years. However, I will say that my window isn't exposed to precipitation since the carport roof is over it, so that could be why it has lasted so long. But like I said, it's inexpensive and I wouldn't mind replacing it. My room is dark as can be.

Drapes or a tinted window glass would be the solution for a bright room. Drapes or curtains are dust magnets, and they are heavy to wash. I would go with tinted glass windows as long as they are sliding glass windows, so you can slide it open when you are not watching the TV.
