Any comments on how this Samsung looks in a bright, sun-filled room?

This model tv has a built in sensor. The color is great in ambiant light or darker settings. I love the tv and have been using it for three months. Great buy!

I bought mine during the holidays, haven't had much sun since. However it is in a room with a 10' picture window facing north. I have had no issues with lighting as of yet.

We have two patio doors (with no covering) just to the left of our TV and there is no problem. The picture is still crisp and clear.

I believe all flat screen TVs have some reflection on their screens from windows, table tamps, etc. (I don't know any that don't.) My Samsung does have some screen reflection but the screen is semi-matte and the picture itself is very bright so it over-rides the reflections to a great extent. I don't like it but I don't know of any others that are any better. If you don't want any reflections you'll have to go back to the old CRT rear projection sets. The special thing about the Samsung is the brightness of the picture.

Other than some reflections from the window that's on the opposite wall from the TV, I've never had any glare issues with this TV. My living room can get very bright during the day with two large windows and a sliding glass door, especially with the shades opened... so take that info however you would like.

I second Mithun: "The tv has a high gloss to it. So you will get reflection. Even on a matte screen, but glossy is worse. Now, if you block out some of that light - it's worth it. The TV will truly shine at night. The contrast and color saturation is awesome:

Images of this TV, is clear. the only problem is the sound, but is corrected with a good external sound system.

It works great. They have 4 preset items for different rooms or adjust backlight, brightness and contrast Independant. I actually have floor to ceiling windows behind it that face the sun and the other room widows with sun in front. Both work great.

This particular model has a sensor that auto adjusts. I have found this tv to be an excellent purchase!

Hi, not too much glare with room lighting. Overall pretty happy with it but keep in mind that you cannot adjust the angle of the display (at least I have not figured it out). but that has not been a problem. Fairly quick but slower than my mac book pro likely because of the solid state drive.

With a fresh battery, it's fine in normal daylight. Switching colors to contrast with the background is helpful in bright ambient light.

Seems fine to me if your off to the side unlike our laptop where picture becomes distorted and looks like you have floating heads. It doesn't have a glare that I noticed but we do have this in basement so not alot of sunlight.

I would like to know this too. Is the screen excessively glossy? I know on some of the higher end ones they make the display very shiny which is incredibly annoying if you have even a dimly lit room. This set is priced in the middle range so I'm wondering how the gloss on the screen is. It's so hard to tell in the stores because they have the screens in a dark area and angled just so.

It IS bright. Personally I do not suffer/care, because the box is strategically located in the kitchen, where all mobile devices meet... As an additional bonus, it creates ambient lighting there during nighttime. But for those putting it in the bedroom this might be a challenge...

I've been really happy with the set. It's in a room that gets a lot if sunlight but the picture still looks sharp from all angles and the contrast is deep. I'd definitely recommend it.

Yeah I dont have any problems with my display, but make sure your camera is decent and adjust to the light so the image looks good. Camera quality makes a difference.

Not a problem at all when it's on. When TV isn't on, yes there's reflection because it's near a very large West -facing window. With our old TV had to draw curtains to see at all in the afternoon/early evening but this Samsung is great!

The spec sheets from the Samsung website shows that both models have a brightness of 550 nit (cd/m²).

Hey Jwag, did you get the TN-T2653H by any chance? I just got it a couple days ago, I also noticed the high pitched noise, and it seemed to be related to how bright the screen was (ie. when programs showed bright shots and when the backlight setting was set to 10). Did Samsung tell you anything relevant?

This monitor is perfect for a room with a lot of natural light. You will like it.

Yes, like most other computers nowadays, you can turn the brighest low enough that the screen turns off. It this "bright room" of yours is equal to a really hot sunny summer day than it might be hard to see but thats different so i think itll be alright. This computer is definitely worth it.

Works fine for me in a well-lit room with screen near open windows in daylight.

Its very bright and is viewable in lit rooms. Im not sure about outside and will probably need in direct sunlight to view

My display is perfect. I keep my computer on almost 24/7. But I can't say if it's Samsung. It's surely LED.

Not that I've noticed, but room is not particularly bright and had sun in mind with placement of the tv.
