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

nogahorovitch

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

Buying a matte monitor is a better idea.

But I need 55", and there is no PC monitor at this size, only a TV.

And all TVs come glossy.

nogahorovitch Ok, you can buy Samsung's "The Frame" display in 55" w/ matte.

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 was also hoping for this TV, but it turns out it has terrible flicker, especially at zero brightness: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/the-frame-2022-qled

Sunspark Thanks. Is there a model of Samsung's "The Frame" display that is flicker free ?

AIVFI Not to pricy, also… 😆 way over 1 thousand euros and VA only

Thanks.
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.

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. 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"

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

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

Ibacklight wirh Ambiglow, W-LED FALD (full-array local dimming ),

VA panel

Is it true DC dimming ?

Other Philips VA momentum are flickering- high frequency >1000 Hz PWM

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.
