How to Reduce Glare on TV

Written by Jordan Wagenet | March 26, 2019

Reducing Glare on TV Screens

While televisions, laptop screens, and computer monitors give us vibrant, sharp video all the time, that crisp picture quality has one weakness, sun glare! You wouldn’t keep the lights on when watching a movie, and you don’t want the sun washing out your HDTV’s video, either. But when you have windows, sun glare seems to be a part of life.

Sun glare is the product of sunlight filtering through your windows without any absorption from a shade. The glare can arise directly from the window or reflecting off something in your home onto your TV screen. Since LED picture technology competes with surrounding lights, you’ll want to avoid as much light as possible shining onto your TV. Thankfully, you have a few solutions!

Installing blinds to reduce sun glare

One option for reducing sun glare is window blinds, which are a common interior decor window treatment. They are convenient and quick ways to change the amount of light in your home. You can choose from a variety of different colors and textures.

On the other hand, if the blinds are down they block all the light coming through your windows. This includes your views and the natural light that can potentially reduce your electricity bills from less interior light use. Would you be okay with  a dark room all the time just to watch TV? It's something to take into consideration when deciding if blinds are a good fit for your space.
