this is equally true for sports, movies, news, evening soaps.

Samsung LN52A630 TV

$1,910.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
my family room gets a lot of sun in the afternoon/evenings and with my previous rear-projection tv, it is impossible to watch any television without putting the blinds.
from www.amazon.com
unless you plan on watching tv in a dark room with no windows, the 630 is the way to go.
from www.amazon.com
daytime viewing on the lcd is even better than nighttime viewing on the rear-projection.
from www.amazon.com
so far, my 630 has past the evening lighting test with flying colors.
