is there much glare from the monitor's screen in a normally lighted room?

The screen is exceptional in many ways. Not the least is its anti glare properties. It has an excellent balance between cutting the glare yet keeping the screen picture rich and vibrant. It is an excellent all around choice that will not disappoint.

Simply no, in terms of glare the monitor is within normal level besides it comes with some kind of hood that you can cover the surroundings of the monitor which from the other hand control the excessive amount of external lights that can have effects on the monitor. For me, I used it once only to test it and I have not used it anymore because the monitor is clear enough in my well-lighted office.

Zero in almost all cases. The screen does not have a glass front, it has a very matte surface that permits very little glare. The only time I have glare is when direct sunlight is hitting a large white surface behind me.

I'm writing via one of these monitors right now. I would describe them as matte. Mine (I have two) sit on my desk which is perpendicular to a window. I usually pull the shades down on the window most of the way when I'm using my monitors, but not because of glare, just because it's hard to see on almost any monitor with sunlight falling directly on them. I never have to turn off the overhead light to use them at night. I would not describe these monitors as having a glare problem at all. Overall I like these monitors very much.

Glare is absolutely a NON issue.. screen is all matte and very effective. Having said that I am returning this product for reasons of other defects - ripples on the display starting from the bottom going all the way to the top. Very irritating!

It's glossy but I don't think any more so than other TVs. It's in a bedroom though so it's usually on at night only but I've never noticed or been distracted by a glare.

Other than some reflections from the window that's on the opposite wall from the TV, I've never had any glare issues with this TV. My living room can get very bright during the day with two large windows and a sliding glass door, especially with the shades opened... so take that info however you would like.

No it's not. I have lots of natural lights in the room whitch makes it hard to see with the glare on the screen. I had to return this tv and bought a samsung with have a much better anti glare screen.

I actually don't notice any glare from overhead lights. There isn't a window with sunlight shining on the monitor so I don't know if that would be a problem. I would say it's more matte than glossy.

It doesn't seem to be at a bad angle for viewing. I'm not sure how far it is, but I don't notice a glare or have difficulty viewing the screen or using the on-screen keyboard.

The screen is glossy. I definitely get reflections, during dark scenes, if there is any other source of light in the room. Fortunately, I have blackout curtains. If you always view it from the same spot, you could careful position the TV so there is nothing bright or shiny that will be reflected on the screen at that angle. If you do that, then maybe you can have some light in the room without getting reflections.

The actual display area is not glossy and does not have a mirror-like finish, so glare is not as bad as it would be on, say, an old style CRT. However, if you have a lot of light behind you, it can show on parts of the display that are dark, though it is much less noticeable on bright areas. Overall I'd say it does very well at dealing with glare.

During daylight hours the picture does diminish somewhat. When direct light hits the screen there is glare from the light. I am able to watch TV without a problem with natural light in the room.

On completely dark situations, yes there will be a noticeable glare that comes out in the pictures . Where there is little light present it dose not show up. I have few different colors and noticed it's worse on light colors i.e yellow and white .

Yes, there is a little glare and reflecting, but it's not nearly as bad as a plasma screen. It's not quite as remarkable as LG makes it out to be with their semi matte screen covering, but I personally find it to be more than acceptable. I hardly even notice it after having it in my home for a few weeks. We live in Arizona, so there's LOTS of sun and big windows in our home. Hope this helps answer your question!

It cuts light glare a lot, but not completely. It's like a pair of medium sunglasses, or tinted window in, say, the back of a mini van. I used it mainly to reduce fading. I'm not sure it would be enough if the sun is shining directly onto the face of the monitor, but it would darken the room significantly.

It's definitely glossy and reflective, but I wouldn't say that there's any more glare than the original screen by itself. It's really quite unnoticeable. Unless maybe your screen brightness is all the way down and you're out in direct sunlight at noon, but then there's always the viewfinder.

No problems noted with glare or reflections in well lighted or sunny rooms. The only issue so far is the auto adjust for the room lighting level can allow the screen to actually become too attenuated (that is DARK) if the room light level is low.

Ambient light isn't an issue. However direct light sources, such as a lamp, will cause a reflection on the screen. I generally have a lamp beside the tv when watching.
