1080p 120Hz smart 3D HDTV. Will the direct sunlight 3 hours a day have any adverse effect on the TV?
The only thing I can see direct sunlight on a flat panel LED TV doing is burning the screen, making the TV hotter than usual and/or warping the frame/casing. It is not recommended according to operation manuals, and as long as you don't use harsh chemicals to clean it, keep liquids away from it, you should be fine. Just move the TV or shade it from sunlight (e.g. if the TV is near a window - pull the blinds/shades/curtains). This will make the picture easier to see during the day and also prolong the set's life.
Direct sunlight on a TV which is not turned on (or plugged into the power point) won't do much.

After searching the owners manual I find that there is nothing mentioned about the screen resolution i.e. 480p to 1080p.
This set is capable of your desired resolution and as far as I can tell it auto selects because it senses the input video and decides which is the best setting for that source.
It's important to understand that you need 1080p video to use it at it's full capabilities. It won't give you a 1080p resolution from a VCR or a standard DVD player. You need a DVD player that is capable of producing a 1080p encoded video. Some satellite receivers are capable of that but you need to make sure you know what resolution that you are sending to the television.
Local TV stations won't usually broadcast HD at 1080p. Your best bet is to use a DVD player that is capable of that high resolution for your best picture.
Please note that what it says in the owners manual about "Resolution" has nothing to do with the 480p, 720p or 1080p signals, your set selects that automatically it will start by selecting the 1080p then goes to 720p then 420p it's dependent on the video you send to the set.
Please note the "resolution" function is actually like a "sharpness" control.
Your video input (tuner, VCR, DVD, games and etc.) is likely your problem.
