Samsung’s Glare Free OLED Tech Isn’t Just Good – It’s a Game-Changer

Glaringly Obvious!

In Bright Rooms, OLED Has a Problem
For years, OLED TVs have delivered stunning contrast and perfect blacks—but there’s always been one nagging issue: reflections. If you watch in a room with sunlight or bright lighting, those inky blacks can quickly turn into murky greys. In many cases the panel you’ve paid a high premium for just isn’t viewable in an everyday living room environment, rendering it almost useless if you have windows nearby.

Enter Samsung’s Anti-Glare Wizardry
We recently ran a real-world side-by-side between the 77-inch Samsung S95F and the 48-inch LG C3. Same lighting, same room, same content. The result? Glaringly obvious!

The S95F’s new anti-glare coating doesn’t just reduce reflections—it defies them. Even with sunlight pouring in, the image held its depth, contrast, and clarity. Meanwhile, the LG C3—while still a fantastic TV—struggled under the same conditions, with visible washout and mirror-like glare.

But… Can You Trust It in the Real World?
Absolutely. This isn’t lab talk or showroom trickery. The Samsung handled direct daylight in a living room setup without flinching. Skin tones stayed natural, shadows kept their nuance, and the picture popped even without dimming the lights.

Both televisions were placed next to a 5-leaf set of bifold doors with two roof skylights so there was an absolute tonne of light beaming on them. It was a slightly cloud-cast afternoon, but you can see how LG still could not be seen at all from the side, whereas the Samsung still could.

Samsung’s magic can be seen even when the TVs are switched off. It’s the kind of upgrade that doesn’t show up on a spec sheet but transforms your viewing experience entirely.

What else is there to think about?
Whilst many debates can be had about which brand has the better menus and general user journey features (LG’s Magic Remote system is hands down so much quicker and easier to navigate around your TV options), they are not deal breakers. Moving through a keyboard to find every single letter to get to the YouTube video you’re searching for can be a real pain, no doubt, but the inability to see what’s in front of you is far more disappointing in my opinion.

It must be said that when conditions are in a darker environment, things get much closer between the pair, and in many nighttime environments the LG C3 does ‘outshine’ Samsung with amazing deep black pixels.

So, who should care?

If your living room has windows, or you tend to binge-watch during the day, this tech matters—a lot. The S95F doesn’t just improve image quality; it preserves it when it matters most.

The results are night and day! Is it worth the premium over the LG C3? That depends. But if glare has ever ruined a good movie night, the answer might be a resounding “yes.”
