Sports fans who spend finals season squinting at the television or watching their own reflection instead of the players on the field are being urged to do something that sounds a little odd – turn the brightness up with TCL.
As playoffs take shape this month and the path to victory becomes clearer, fans will be settling in to cheer on their team. But unfortunately, they all face one common opponent – the sun. With many fixtures played in bright, mid-afternoon daylight, sunlight streaming through the windows is an unwelcome guest, landing on the screen at the worst possible moment. Many fans would love to be part of the action, but their reflection? Less so.
The fix for this, counterintuitive as it sounds, is to make the screen brighter so the TV overrides the glare and no one’s uncle has to get up to close the blinds, move the sofa or – worst of all – stand in front of the TV while the game’s underway. This is the view of Patrick Chen, Product Training Specialist at TCL Electronics Australia.
“TV blind spots can be a major bugbear for supporters at any time, but with many sporting seasons reaching the sharp end, watching without disruption matters more than ever,” says Chen. “Whether because of unwanted glare or reflections, nobody wants to get up midway through to move the TV, shut the curtains or rustle up some objects to use as shade. You want good memories of the game, not looking the other way when something big happens.
“It might seem odd, but upping the screen’s brightness can really give sports fans a clearer and more vibrant picture. It cuts through the glare of the Aussie daytime sun, ensuring a sharp image while delivering a vivid display with deep, bold colours across the spectrum.”
For sports fans still frustrated after adjusting their settings and considering an upgrade, Chen says the key is knowing what features make a TV ideal for watching daytime fixtures. He argues that screens with low-reflective films and panels designed to reduce glare without dulling the picture will keep the action looking clear even in the sunniest rooms.
“You shouldn’t have to compromise on colour, contrast or brightness, whatever the viewing conditions,” Chen concludes. “But glare can only be mitigated, not eliminated entirely – there’s always a trade-off. Beating the sunshine shouldn’t come at the cost of a washed-out picture and your team running out in beige or faded team colours.
“Think of it like a beautiful view from your front window – it might get bright, but you wouldn’t hide it behind frosted glass. If you’re shopping for a TV for the playoffs, look for a set with serious peak brightness credentials – the higher this is, the better it can handle a sunlit room. That’s exactly what we’ve engineered our SQD Mini-LED range to do, combining these brightness credentials with the deep contrast needed to display daytime sport.”
