Really bright locations will always be a compromise. Brightness & contrast ratio work against each other. Contrast ratio is the difference between the whitess whites & the blackest blacks. As the brightness increases, so must the contrast ratio or you end up with dark grey blacks & washed out colors. But don't read the manufacturer's specs as gospel, everybody lies & there is no industry standard for specifications.

Look at plasmas, DLP & LCD TVs for bright locations. CRt's are still 'the most natural' but with size vs bulk limitations.
