  • glossy finish TV- what coating/film can be installed to make it matte ?

I am about to purchase  50"-55" TV , for PC monitor usage, for clear text (code, articles, browsing, office work).

All the TV's have glossy finish, and it make me eyestrain. .

I like to read text on matte finish. Matte like canvas.

What film/coating can be installed on glossy TV, to make it more matte ?

Thanks

nogahorovitch But I need 55", and there is no PC monitor at this size

Yet it exists!

Not only is it matte, but on top of that it is completely flicker-free!

I quote from the review where you also have the model of this monitor:

"559M1RYV uses DC dimming instead of PWM. After testing, 559M1RYV is DC dimming at 0-100% brightness."

    I've done some market research and I'm pretty sure there isn't another monitor or TV over 50" that is:

    - matte

    - PWM-free

    - with DisplayPort

    - with at least 120Hz (important for pixel inversion)

    - with blue light reduction mode

    Philips Momentum 559M1RYV is the only product of its kind, which is why it is so expensive. It is a niche product and will probably disappear from the market quickly, just like 65" PWM-free monitors. People just don't care about their eyes and buy OLEDs.

    1. Which model you meanא turns out it has terrible flicker ? Is it The Frame 2022 QLED ?

    2, From which review you quoted about the 559M1RYV ? I don't find it.

      1. Yes, Samsung The Frame 2022 QLED.

      "We tested the 65 inch Samsung The Frame 2022"

      "It flickers at 960Hz in the 'Movie' Picture Mode, which is high enough that you won't notice it. However, it drops down to 120Hz in other modes"

        I feel I can't count on this review, because they didn't specify what method they tested and found that "559M1RYV is DC dimming at 0-100% brightness"

        Maybe someone have another review, that more elaborate and specifying about the testing of the flicker- is it oscilloscope or other. etc

        You need to accept a compromise, or wait till a future date.

        Don't shop off spec sheets, you need to examine them in person if possible to do so.
