So, here are the Top 5 Best TVs For Bright Rooms Of 2022.
#1. Samsung QN85A QLED
The best TV for bright room viewing with an LED panel is the Samsung QN85A QLED. It uses a new Mini LED backlight, resulting in an extremely bright image with finer control of the local dimming zones, great if you also watch TV at night. It’s exceptionally bright overall and combined with its exceptional reflection handling and glossy finish, there are no issues with glare, even if you have a lot of natural light. This also makes it a great choice for outdoor use, although it’s not weather-proof, so you’ll need an appropriate enclosure.
It’s great for watching TV shows or sports during the day. It runs Samsung’s Tizen smart interface, which is simple, intuitive, and has a huge selection of streaming apps. It also has wide viewing angles, ensuring the image remains accurate even if you have a wide seating arrangement. It’s also great for gaming, with low input lag, a great response time, and FreeSync support.
#2. Sony KD-43X80J
If you prefer something smaller, then look into the Sony KD-43X80J. While the Samsung QN85A QLED is available in larger sizes, you can get the 43 inch model of this TV, which we expect should perform the same as the 55 inch variant we tested. However, there are downsides, as it doesn’t get as bright and has worse reflection handling, so it’s not as well-suited for a room with lots of windows. However, the 43 inch model still has wide viewing angles, amazing out-of-the-box accuracy, and great upscaling. The built-in Google TV smart interface is user-friendly, and the Google Play Store has a huge selection of apps available to download. Sadly, HDR content doesn’t look good because it lacks local dimming, has low HDR peak brightness, and displays a low contrast.
If you want the best TV for cable boxes in the LED category, you can’t go wrong with the Samsung, but if you want something smaller, then check out the Sony.
#3. LG C1 OLED
The LG C1 is the best TV for a bright room with an OLED panel that we’ve tested. It has okay peak brightness but superb reflection handling, so glare isn’t an issue unless you have a lot of windows. It has incredibly wide viewing angles, making it a great choice for a wide seating arrangement, as the image remains accurate from the side.
It upscales lower resolution content well, which is great if you like to watch older DVDs or cable TV channels. It runs LG’s webOS smart interface, which is easy to use and has a huge selection of additional streaming apps, and the included LG magic remote makes it easy to find your favorite content.
#4. Hisense U6G
The best TV for bright room viewing in the budget category that we’ve tested is the Hisense U6G. It’s a surprisingly good budget TV, with great peak brightness in SDR and excellent reflection handling. It’s not bright enough to overcome direct sunlight or for outdoor installation, but otherwise, you shouldn’t have any issues. It has a great smart platform, with a great selection of apps and an easy-to-use interface.
It’s an impressive gaming TV with a great response time and low input lag, but it doesn’t support advanced gaming features, like HDMI 2.1 or variable refresh rates. If you also plan on using it in the evenings in a darker room, it has excellent contrast and a decent local dimming system. It has just okay peak brightness in HDR, but it still delivers a great HDR movie-watching experience.
#5. LG UP8000
If you have a wide seating arrangement, go with the LG UP8000 instead. It’s not as bright as the Hisense U6G, and it has worse reflection handling, so it’s not as capable of overcoming glare in a bright room. Its IPS panel delivers much wider viewing angles, which is great if you have a wide seating arrangement or like to move around the house with the TV on. It’s also available in a wider range of sizes than the Hisense, from small 43 inch bedroom TVs to massive 86 inch models. Either way, you’re sure to find the right size for your setup.
If you’re on a budget and want a bright TV, go for the Hisense. If you prefer something with wide viewing angles, check out the LG.
