a good way to see how direct light affects focus is to watch a football game where half the field is in sunlight and half is in shadow . .
sure, the cameraman will typically adjust his iris for the shadowed parts of the field . . . . , but even when they are in full sunlight you can see that because of all the glare and reflection the shot isn't quite as sharp as it is when the players are in shadow
of course, i don't have HDTV so maybe its different in that case
