I’ve been using the Samsung S95C OLED for the last 2-3 years and whilst I absolutely love it, my living room is north-facing with an almost full-wall sized window, so during the day glare could always be an issue (especially when filming).
This is no longer an issue as I recently updated to the 2025 Samsung S95F OLED TV and it’s been an absolute game-changer with its glare-free display. Obviously, during the day, you no longer get those super clear reflections through the TV especially in darker scenes, but even at night, I no longer have my lamps reflecting back at my through the TV.
Whilst there’s maybe the slightest drop in inky blanks, this is might than made up for by having literally no reflections with how well the new coating diffuses the reflections, and it’s there’s also a boost in brightness in the S95F which makes up for any drop in vibrancy.
Whilst in a lot of parts of the world, this probably wouldn’t be an issue, it’s obviously one in Australian living rooms, particularly in Summer. Samsung recently ran surveys and there’s interesting (but not surprising) results that suggest 58% of Australians hate on-screen glare and that 49% draw their curtains during the day to avoid on-screen glare, which is an obvious way to get rid of glare, but I’m personally somebody who would prefer to enjoy natural light whilst playing games, so this allows for the best of both worlds.
As far as glare-free displays from Samsung go, you can find it in the OLED S95F (currently discounted HERE), the Neo QLED 8K QN990F, Neo QLED 8K QN900F, Neo QLED QN90F, The Frame Pro and The Frame. It’s also in a range of monitors including the G8 OLED which I also use daily and highly recommend especially if you’re using it in a bright office.
The thing I appreciate most about Samsung TVs in addition to the glare-free display, and the incredible picture quality that the OLED panel provides is the One Connect box which allows you to just have one power connecting to the TV to provide power and all of your inputs, with the box sitting in your entertainment unit, allowing for a super clean look.
