    I'm currently building a new house and our main living room will have large floor to ceiling windows about 13 feet behind where the tv will be mounted on the wall.
    Windows are south/south-west facing and will be triple glazed.

    Are there any TV models that are known to be better at preventing glare?
    Obviously we could pull the blinds but would be nice to not have them down all the time!

    Anyone?
    Anyone have first hand experience of a tv that works well in a room with lots of natural light?

    My room has 2 windows either side of my wall mounted TV and a large floor ceiling window to its left, south facing. Loads of natural light.
    I bought a Samsung h6700 last year and I have had no trouble with its display, even on the brightest day.
    With led TV's these days, issues with brightness is a legacy issue left over from the plasma days. These things have no problem overcoming brightness as long as the sun is not directly shining on them

    Yes that one in the link, it was the 55 inch 2014 model. Cost me 1100 euro. You might be able to still buy it though.
    I think the equivalent 2015 model is samsung j6400. Anything above 6400 is curved.
