#1 LG G6
4.8

The glossy anti-reflection coating suppresses glare extremely well while preserving image depth, contrast, and saturated color.

Pros: picture quality, peak brightness

Cons: value for money, sound quality

#2 Samsung S90H
4.7

The matte Glare Free coating is one of the S90H’s defining strengths, dramatically reducing glare. The tradeoff is slightly raised blacks or reduced perceived crispness in some conditions.

Pros: glare resistance, black levels

Cons: Dolby Vision support, color gamut

#3 Sony Bravia 9 II
4.4

Glare resistance is exceptional and repeatedly singled out as one of the best anti-glare implementations on a premium TV.

Pros: overall satisfaction, overall image accuracy

Cons: value for money, bass performance

#4 TCL QM7L
3.9

Strong brightness often overpowers room light, and the coating can work very well. Direct sunlight and dark scenes remain problematic in less favorable rooms.

Pros: peak brightness, picture quality

Cons: color accuracy, viewing angles

#5 Sony Bravia 8 II
3.7

The anti-reflective treatment cuts glare effectively, but direct lamps can still mirror and the coating can contribute to lifted blacks in bright rooms.

Pros: gaming performance, peak brightness

Cons: HDMI 2.1 support, HDMI 2.1 port count

#6 TCL QM8L
3.6

Bright output makes the picture easy to see in daylight, yet coating performance varies by comparison. Rooms with windows directly opposite the screen may still need curtains.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: stand quality, judder handling

#7 LG StanByMe 2
3.5

Glare experiences are mixed: one customer reported no issue at all, while an expert found the screen could catch glare near windows. Placement and room lighting appear to matter.

Pros: overall satisfaction, portability and versatility

Cons: value for money, menu responsiveness

#8 Hisense U65QF
3.4

Glare resistance is similarly mixed. Several bright-room tests find it manageable or very good, but other sources warn that reflections can be obvious and may require more careful room lighting.

Pros: overall satisfaction, value for money

Cons: smart TV platform, blooming control

#9 LG C6
3.0

Glare control is weaker than on flagship anti-reflective OLEDs and some matte competitors. Direct sunlight is the main problem.

Pros: picture quality, gaming performance

Cons: value for money, sound quality

#10 Roku Pro Series (2025)
3.0

Glare is noticeable for some owners, especially from windows, though another reviewer found it unobtrusive during typical living-room viewing.

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality

Cons: reliability, portability and versatility

#11 Roku Pro Series (2026)
2.8

Glare treatment draws sharply different reactions. Initial impressions praise it, while more critical testing finds the semi-gloss surface distracting during dark scenes in lit rooms.

Pros: contrast ratio, value for money

Cons: peak brightness, HDR brightness

#12 Sony Bravia 7 II
2.4

Glare control is a recurring weakness because the 7 II lacks the flagship’s anti-reflective coating. Some owners may find the semi-gloss screen acceptable, but direct light can be distracting.

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality

Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling

#13 Hisense U75QG
2.3

Glare handling is one of the weaker picture traits; the extreme brightness helps compensate, but direct reflections remain distracting for some viewers.

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality

Cons: reliability, build quality

#14 LG B6
1.8

Glare resistance is a weakness under strong room lighting, with reflections remaining visible even during brighter content.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: stand quality, daytime viewing performance

#15 Amazon Ember QLED TV
1.0

Bright-room glare is a weak point in lab testing, with ambient light making details harder to see. Buyers with windows or overhead lighting should take this seriously.

Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, reliability
