Just got mine. Interiors very shiny, reflective, hard to look at, like an optical illusion; hard to see where sides are. Does this improve with use?

mine from a few years ago were not shiny, they were more like brushed stainless, that contaminated the food. maybe this is an improvement.

We have 2 sets. First set purchased (about 10 years ago) does not have silicone bottom nor a reflective interior surface. Second set (purchased about 4 years ago) has exterior silicone bottom. Currently in use in another household so I am unable to check on interior surface. However, I do not have any memory of having difficulty with depth perception due to the shiny quality.

Not really, we keep ours clean by using Barkeepers Friend, and it's stays in excellent condition. I don't know what you mean by "hard to see where the sides are".

Mine are satin finish so do not reflect as yours do. My other shiny stainless bowls (15 years old) still look like they did when they were new so I would say no, they will not discolor with age.

Just installed one and it is more of a matte finish. It is not shiney at all. I think it's very sharp looking, but more of a dull black with a slightly rough texture.

Hello Craig, I bought the standard ones because I like the shiny look.I have used anti glare before and it seems OK.it does seem like you lose a little definition if you do use anti glare. If you are using it in a really bright area all the time then I'd say get it.otherwise I'd prefer the standard.

I just used mine, and I love it. The interior color is creamy white with yellow in it also. Looks great with the red and black, hope that helps

it looks like a slightly tinted mirror. it also darkens the room interior a bit, but i'm fine with that.

I would like to know this too. Is the screen excessively glossy? I know on some of the higher end ones they make the display very shiny which is incredibly annoying if you have even a dimly lit room. This set is priced in the middle range so I'm wondering how the gloss on the screen is. It's so hard to tell in the stores because they have the screens in a dark area and angled just so.

Look very closely to all the sides....you must remove the plastic on all the exterior....loosen a corner and strip it away.....it's not easy to see at first, but do remove...check all metal area. Enjoy the learning process of how it works.....use the book!

The "glare" (or reflection) is pretty minimal unless the room you're viewing it in is super-bright (as in tons of artificial lighting) or extremely sunny (as in a wall of windows with direct sunlight coming through it). Otherwise it's not a big deal. You can deal with it simply enough by adjusting the screen brightness in the display menu, or pull the curtains or shades closed. Considering the quality of the picture and the price it's no big deal to live with.

I do not notice any visual distortion, although if objects have different focal lengths, there will be a natural distortion. The concavity of the mirror does an excellent job of compensating. Re: Large-since that is a subjective, I really cannot comment. I can only state that I can see my entire well lighted face and more flaws than I care to comment on :)

It's not a traditional "matte" finish which tends to de-sharpen images. It IS non-reflective, though, I don't have any trouble with room reflections. It's the sharpest image I've seen from a non-glossy screen, if that helps. Only the iPad Air 2 has a better trade off between the inherently better sharpness of a glossy screen and the lower reflections you get with a "matte" or "coated" screen.

Yes, it does look glossy. You can see your reflections but it looks non-smooth type kind of glossy.

Not at all. I had the same problem with a mirror protector which is why I went with this one. It's not reflective at all and a great screen protector thus far.

You can not see the mirrored sides and it looks more like a mirror, I love it !!

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.

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!

The resolution of the reflection is mediocre (roughened by inconsistencies in the paper) certainly not as a good as a mirror, but better than baking quality aluminum foil. When my head is about a foot away, I can see facial features. If it is 6 inches away, I would say someone could probably guess the reflection was mine.

Polished or shiny stainless steel outside; interior looks more dull or brushed.
