Hi Folks!

Anyone have suggestions for a glare filter for a 40" TV? Had to get a
new television and this one has a shiny display and so the room lights
and sunshine from the windows reflect.

Have done some preliminary checking: not so sure about the film options
as wary of bubbles -- possibly prick with a pin to let the air out
but.... Saw one by Eyes PC (Model BLP45-40T) which hangs in front of
the screen, but only mentioned blue light filter; didn't mention anti-
glare.

TIA!

Did you solve the glare problem? My set rests at about eye-level when seated, therefore no ceiling lights affect it. There is a side-table lamp I like to use, but the TV is not angle enough in that direction to reflect it from my seating location to the right. However, the lamp *does* produce a glare if someone else were seated to the left.

Maybe tilt the TV downwards a bit?

Can't tilt the TV up nor down but did angle it slightly (left/right)
and that got rid of most of the glare. Or at least from the lamp; not
sure about the sunlight through the window blinds as the angle of the
Sun has changed with the season. (OK, technically the Earth's tilt on
its axis!) See how things are in the late Spring/early Summer -- maybe replace the one blind with the room-darkening type.

HOW has all that worked out for you since then?

Nothing's really changed in the interim. I think we did adjust the
angle of the TV slightly and maybe moved the lamp slightly also.
Haven't gotten around to replacing the shade yet. Might get a bit of
urgency when snow is on the ground, the sun is out, and all that
sunlight is reflecting into the window!
