TV Reviews: New Screen Gloss Test

We're constantly updating our test procedures here at DigitalVersus, and after introducing clouding tests to our TV reviews in 2010, we've now developed a 'screen gloss' test.

Regular readers will know that we're always complaining about shiny screens, which we find a particularly annoying feature of hundreds of TVs, tablets and monitors. We'll soon be introducing a new test to show our readers just how shiny these screens actually are. Our test images will first of all be included in reviews, before being introduced into the face-off for side-by-side comparison between different products.

Below are three examples of TV screens we've tested so far:

- a fully matte screen,
- a screen with an effective anti-glare finish,
- a glossy screen.

We take these pictures with the same camera, which is used in manual mode and with the same pre-defined settings. The lighting in our test lab is also controlled to ensure it stays the same in each and every test.

Stay tuned for more on screen gloss coming soon ...
