Glare vs Reflections
Glare is a type of ocular phenomena that reduces image quality on a display. Reflections can cause haze or glare, depending on whether the composition of the front panel your TV is matte or glossy. In short, not all reflections cause glare (loss of detail or eye pain), but all reflections are distracting when they interfere with a TV’s picture.
On the surface of it, glare is a pretty simple concept: Light from the outside or from an overhead light hits the screen and reduces the contrast on your TV to a point in which you can no longer make out any details. It’s a problem that screens have had since the beginning — and, if left untreated, can really ruin even the best TVs.
