Even though television sets have evolved from huge boxes to flat screens, there’s one thing that still comes in the way of the perfect viewing experience: Glare. No matter what the source is — a bulb, lamp, or window — a glossy TV screen acts like a mirror, and its reflection shows as a bright spot on the television screen. This not only reduces the overall immersion but also ruins the viewing experience, however expensive the television is.

While most TV screens feature a glossy finish, a few models ship with matte panels designed to minimize on-screen reflections. However, a matte screen, whether on a television, a tablet, or a smartphone, diffuses not only the light that shines on it but also the light that comes from underneath, resulting in a screen that looks dull. So, is there a way to reduce the glare on your TV screen without compromising on the picture quality?
Yes, there are multiple ways to get rid of the irritating reflections that stand between you and your favorite movies or TV shows. We’ll start with the easiest workarounds that won’t cost you anything and then gradually move toward the methods that are slightly more time-consuming and might require some monetary attention.
