My TV by necessity is in a South facing room. What is the TV type that
gives the brightest picture, I guess.

OLED I think, but I have a recent large screen LED. My living room
faces south / west, so it gets sun from early afternoon the late in the
evening. To get around it, I fitted heavy vertical blinds.

I know that is an option but I do not wish to have any curtains or such.
Just wondered which is the best TV type.

Brightness is only one consideration, but Sony AF9 OLED is 900 cd/m2 and
some models in the Samsung Qled range are up to 2000 cd/m2 peak.

That said, reflections in the screen are a bigger problem than how
bright is is IMO.

Yes, reflection of a strong light source is more of a problem. If it is
a sunlit scene outside of the window you are more likely to see this
rather than the TV picture.

Yeah, I am in the same situation tho with computer monitors not the TV

I went to a lot of trouble to find monitors with a decent anti reflective
screens. Works well except when the sun actually shines quite literally on
the screen itself. Nothing much you can do about that except stop that.

The Samsung QLEDs have a very good anti-reflective finish (just don't handle
it, but a microfibre cloth will brush it clean) and very wide angles (VA
panel (narrow angle) with a layer for wide angle viewing) Can't remember if
these attributes start at Q70 or Q80.
Q80 55" is a grand on Richer Sounds atm, with free delivery and 6-year
warranty.

There is no such thing if the low winter sun shines right onto the
screen.

In France you can get vertical binds where the 'slats' are made of
some sort of translucent plastic that has a semi-mirror bonded on
to it. This allows you to reduce the amount of light getting in when
the sun is low and not hidden by clouds and when it is cloudy you
can rotate them to allow more light in.

Yes, that's certainly the case with smartphones,
particularly with the best of them like iphones.

You need to watch reflections as well.
I'm not sure these days what the current advice is, but it used to be that
you want moderate light in the room, not too bright but not pitch dark
either for best eye comfort. Not able to see them these days, but when I
could then LCD were OK but then there was little else about .
