Samsung LN52A630 TV

$1,910.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i tend to doubt there would be much reflection on the glossy screen either because the brightness of the screen is so strong it would probably overcome the reflected light.
from www.amazon.com
my tv room faces south so i went with the "less glare' option of the 630 and it is perfect.
from www.amazon.com
it still might be hard to watch a very dark movie (ie the dark knight), in a room full of windows, at the brightest part of the day, with all the blinds and curtains open.
from www.amazon.com
we have a lot of glare in the room that houses our tv but the 630's matte finish chews up the glare from our french doors and spits it back out as a crisp flowing picture.
from www.amazon.com
i have a sunny room and it is amazing.

Samsung LN46A630 TV

$945.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
all in all, this tv is good for rooms with lots of light, i was going to return it for the a750, but the price difference is too much now.
from www.amazon.com
as far as the tv goes, it is easy to set-up, there is hardly any glare, and it is the best picture i have seen for the price of under $1500.
from www.amazon.com
our old set was in a spot where the glare of the sunlight often hit it and made it difficult to watch during the day.
from www.amazon.com
while this bumps up the contrast ratio, it reportedly increases the effects of glare.
from www.amazon.com
it has 3 modes to adjust brightness based on room lighting, fast 4ms response time, and little glare on the matte screen.

at that time, the samsung b650 had just come out, but its high gloss panel would not have performed well in my brightly lit room.

we all know it uses less power, produces exceptionally accurate color, and looks great in a bright room.
from www.amazon.com
most importantly it has pitch dark black level, scorching brightness, high color accuracy, and good motion processing.
from www.amazon.com
but if it's trying to reproduce the authentic colors of a movie, which you'd watch in a really dark movie theater, i don't have a problem with it not being suitable for a very brightly-lit room.
