Doubt it would be effective. This film cuts rays coming through glass, not reflective off of it.

I've only used it on our glass front door and it works great, but don't know about TVs. It's not very expensive why not give it a try. It's easy to peel off if it doesn't work.

I wish someone had answered this for you. We bought this and there is so much glare, we can't have any lamps in the room turned on when watching tv. not happy! Otherwise it would be perfect. I wonder if there is anything that can be done to change it. This is our first HD tv so I guess we didn't know what to expect.

Hello Nancy,it is anti-glare and anti-reflection. I used to use my screen as a mirror sometimes lol, now I can't. Give it a try, you might like them.

yes I would recommend this model, as for the glare problem all flat panels that have screens made from glass will suffer from some reflections, but for the most part you will not notice it, as for blue ray movies, why bother, with a good upscaler dvd movies look almost as good as blu ray, besides viewing any distance beyond 7 ft your eye's cannot resolve any difference, in other words from 7ft away 720p and 1080p look the same quality wise,

I've seen this TV, and it does have more glare than other models. However, it also has a better picture and better viewing angles, so I think I can live with the glare...

You definitely could not use this screen as a mirror, even when it's off. I've had absolutely no glare issues with it since I bought it, but it isn't in the very brightest room in my house. So, upon seeing your question, I did some tests: I turned in all the lights in the room and opened the blinds while it was sunny out. On a colorful screen, I didn't notice any glare, so I switched to a screen with a plain blue background. On the plain blue background I did notice some reflections of objects very close to the screen when I looked carefully from the right angle. There was no glare from the lights at all. I cannot answer definitively, but compared to monitors and televisions I've had in the past, this screen seems to handle potential glare very very well.

Yeah, I made the unfortunate mistake of using this garbage on my tv. I returned it and bought some flat screen cleaner made by Rocketfish. It works awesome ! Got rid of the monster smudges and left my tv spotless. I bought it at Best Buy, but you can get it on Amazon as well.

The one that I purchased was not anti-glare(matte finish,) they were clear gloss just like the screen on the Asus laptop. The glare doesn't bother me at all. Personally I am not a fan of anti-glare, because of how much it cuts down the viewing angles. The only other companies that you might try are the zagg company or bodyguards. I personally recommend bodyguards because they are always coming out with new products when people ask for them. Hope this helps. Good luck. -Steve K.

Plasma screens are known for having lots of light glare, more than LCD. I'm usually not home during the day, so light glare was not an issue for me. People recommend placing your tv against a wall that will not have sun shining on it or getting good blinds and using them

We do notice some reflection from some windows that are across our den from the TV set, but it doesn't bother us much. During shows we are deeply interested in, I closethe blinds on those windows & it is perfect. The picture is so good and colors so accurate that we don't let the glare bother us in our particular setting. I have not tried thefilters you mention, however. If it bothers you, I'd try experimenting with that.

I'm not quite sure how it would cause a glare...pictures turn out fine for me so far.

It's semi-matte. The whole point is to be anti-glare, and a glossy shine would be counterproductive. That said, it's not perfect. With the film on the screen, there's significantly less glare/shine than without, but there's still some glare/shine. I wish it had been a perfect solution, but I'm decently happy with the result. For me, it was worth the money.

funny, i was curious about the anti-glare style, but havent tried it. I still see smears occasionally but are EASILY wiped off with my eyeglass cloth.

I found that my TV does not have reflection issues...they are not eliminated but are reduced to a point that you have to be looking for reflections in order to see them at all. Glare has not been an issue for me at all. Remembering that plasmas inherently have lower brightness than any LCD/LED set, the reflection/glare level is satisfactory, your issues may be more brightness related. The set has a beautiful picture!

The additional protection is worth a few extra bucks - but I feel the same way Patricia does. I'd rather have the MilitaryShield- it sounds like it is made of better material, but my thoughts are: if it is so resistant to any damage, than why offer a lifetime supply? Why dont they specify whether it is or is not anti-glare? and why the large price diff?
